In Budapest, they are very strict on payment of transportation. They hired people to check if you punch the ticket.

Left the market and went to the City Park where there are tons of tourist attractions.


First off, there is huge building and inside is the Széchényi Spa where the locals and tourist took their baths. I was too shy to shower in public so I move on :)
