I wasn’t in Budapest for long.. it was just a stopover.. so we tried to make the best of the trip..and someone had told us. .we had to go to The Bory Castle at Székesfehérvár. Closed during the winter.. so we were kinda lucky to have arrived in the summer.

This i heard is a very popular place for tourists like us. Work of a Hungarian sculptor and architect, jeno Bory, the castle was built in the 1920s right up to 1960s. The castle contains a very wide range of architectural style. Most places in the castle is open to visitors..and you can feel free to even climb the towers.. or just walk the gardens and admire the sculptures. There are several galleries inside the castle that features some exquisite paintings.

Pretty majestic looking from here.

Now when i hear the high school students from Canada going for school trips to Europe.. i can only envy them because they now can rent affordable apartments like the Budapest apartments.  I hear they are not only affordable for students, the budget travelers and those family with lots of children, these apartments are very safe and size of hotel rooms with all the amenities of a hotel.  With such good rates, schools and their students benefits from this tremendously.  Exploring Europe at such a young age is not impossible no more.
