We took two organised tours, the first of which included a visit to a market to view local produce before enjoying a typical Hungarian meal with different wines - Hungarian Goulash Soup to start, Pork to follow, and a very sweet but pleasant dessert to finish. We learned about the local wines, particularly Tokayi, which we sampled a few times afterwards. Paprika features significantly in Hungarian food, which suited me fine!
Our second walking tour included a trip to Heroes' Square, a series of buildings with differing architecture and a hot springs bathing facility, although we had neither time nor kit to enjoy this, all a few Metro stops from the city centre. We ended up at the Royal Palace and Matthias Church on the Buda side again, and also paid a short visit to a Marzipan Museum - great complex model exhibits, but you still wonder why Marzipan!
