A truly beautiful city, the place is absolutely full of famous sights and landmarks.
I especially loved the dusk/night time footage when Budapest really impresses with the buildings and bridges dramatically lit and the Danube reflecting the illuminated city it bisects.
A great video, thank you!

| Begin your day with a brisk cycle or jog in sunny Budapest. The parliament building glistens...As you travel the wonderfully paved cycling/walking path along the Danube, you are immersed in the community...it is always fun when folks wave at you as you travel by. You cruise past waterfront cafes and are tempted to stop for a quick beverage and some conversation. Segment 2 takes you through the square and across the chain bridge...the scenery is superb. You make a brief stop in the park to gaze at the fountain before returning to your brisk course along the river. Filmed at night, segment 3 starts at just a bit slower pace. It is great fun to travel across the illuminated bridge without any fear of being run over! The pace quickens as you progress...just a beautiful ride in a lovely city. This is one of the most immersive videos I have seen.
A note about the audio on this DVD. If you prefer only the sounds of the world around you, as I do, this may not be for you. Instead of birds, trains, and hubbub, the audio track is a driving, pulsating rhythm, which some purchasers do prefer. That being said, it is a rhythm that WILL keep you moving, especially in segment 3. If you stay in tempo you will have a solid workout! It would be nice if there was a choice of audio in the "play all" selection, so one could choose between music or ambient sounds. Of course, it is understandably difficult to offer options that will satisfy everyone's tastes. The scenery is engaging, so I will not put this DVD at the bottom of my stack, I will simply mute the sound and pair it with my own playlist, or keep the ambiance true with the music of Liszt, Bartok, or Kodaly.
