Grand Hotel Hungaria
The Keleti Railway Station is perhaps the busiest railway station in the capital, as almost all international trains arrive here. People are used to hurrying in a railway station, but this would be a huge mistake here, as the special, eclectic design of this building is totally worth the time to take a closer look at. You should also find the right spot to be able to explore the group of statues on the top of the 43 meter tall building.
The neighborhood of the Keleti Railway Station is also the best place to be, if you like to do some shopping or look for gastronomic adventures. These streets are full with international street food restaurants, and also within a couple minutes walking you’ll reach the Arena Mall, the biggest shopping center in Middle-Europe.
