Tram right outside the station went directly to the plaza where our apartment was located. One of our easiest transfers so far.
Lots of stairs to get up to the elevator. UGH. When you filter on apartments for elevator to upper floors in the booking.com app I never expected a 32′ climb to the elevator from the ground floor.   We had something similar in Chur Switzerland.
We wandered down to a Ramen place on the other side of the square with great ratings but they were full and we hadn’t made reservations.  The next night we walked over and had one of our best meals. That first night Kathy and I went to a pancake restaurant just a few hundred meters in the other direction. It was mobbed, but we were able to score seats right away as a couple got up as we were walking in.
Pancakes for dinner were amazing
Huge outdoor market right behind our room.  Then
underneath that was a meat and bakery market, huge.  Coffee at a bar with everyone drinking beer at 7am..  And that Croissant with bacon bits on the top, was over the top tasty.
Walking tour with Darko was great, he really made the city come alive. The witch catcher was nothing I had seen before.
And the cannon blast was a bit out of the ordinary.  The view up by that was pretty nice.
Took the tram to the bus station not far past the train station.  Bus ride from hell to Budapest was next.
