Professor Diane Stone recommends that you visit Gerloczy Cafe when you are in Budapest. She says:

 

"This is one of the best coffee places to visit as it has great outdoor seating onto a small square, so no noisy traffic. Upstairs is a boutique hotel with 19 rooms above the Gerloczy Cafe. I have stayed there many times and the best room is 2/3 as it has the second floor balcony. The rooms have a historical feel . The Cafe has also appeared as a set in a couple of films. It is walking distance from CEU and is a good place to take visitors."

Zoltan, who holds a PhD in Philosophy, recommends that you visit The Garden of Philosophy.
 
There are a few very spectacular places in the Buda side, including the Castle Hill and Gellert Hill. If one visits the latter, the most obvious sights to see are the Citadella and the Liberty Statue. However, if you would like to visit a more peaceful place which is not so packed with tourists there are some more hidden and special spots on the hill.

Heni Griecs, Mundus MAPP Coordinator recommends that you discover the small bookstore cafe, Massolit in Nagydiofa utca in the middle of the Jewish quarter. Massolit has a relaxed atmosphere where you can buy second-hand English-language books, sink into one of the armchairs, have your coffee and read your book on a calm Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Alternatively, you can venture out in the garden, sit on a bench in the shadow of a fig tree, listen to the birds and read your book there. Or just ignore your reading and walk around in the garden.
