Body, Soul, Culture

The 'Body and Soul' exhibit poster looks inviting on the side of the museum.

Glancing Across the Danube

The promenade shown in prior posts is on the Pest side of the Danube. Glancing across the way are the Royal Castle and a bit to the left the Gellert monument on the hill named after Bishop Gellert (who was rolled down the cliffs in a barrel from this location by the Turks when he would not renounce his faith). That's the statue with the white half-circle back drop in the greenery.

Continuing Along the Promenade

During the summer this is a beautiful place to be. Lots of people, flowers, greenery, the Danube and the Buda hill are all competing for your attention. The Danube is directly on the left.
This statue of the Little Princess sits on the rail facing the rows of restaurants with her back to the tram tracks and the river. To her right is the Chain Bridge.
