We were only in Budapest for one day after our Danube River Tour, but the sights that stand out are the Chain Bridge, (also known as the lion bridge), which links Buda and Pest, The Shoes on the Danube Bank on the Pest (east) side, which is a memorial to people executed during the war. We were told that people were ordered to take off their shoes, line up on the wall and were shot so that their bodies fell into the river and floated away. Also, the Dohany Street Synagogue, the largest in Europe. On the north side of the synagogue is the Holocaust Tree of Life, a metal sculpture of a willow tree with names inscribed on the leaves of victims killed by the Nazis during the war. Lots of history here and a very walk-able city.
