A good investment if taking short breaks in any European city : buy a city card from European City Cards . A different price applies to each city as well as the possiblity of buying a 24, 48, 74 hour card. And what does your card get you? To start with, free public transportation in the city of your choice. Forget about buying lots of tickets and having to deal with different cards for bus, metro or tram. Your City Card is a All in One card. Plus, you get free entry to most of the city museums and discounts in many shops and restaurants. I checked the coverage for Budapest , as we are thinking we may go to Hungary in Easter. The city card also included free entry to the zoo, the Matthias church and the Palvolgy Cave and discounted entry to the famous Museum of Terror . Now this is not your usual cheap-thrills place. We are talking real terror here, the history of Budapest under the Nazi and the Soviet regime. Now I don't know about you, but I am going to buy the City Card when going to Budapest.


La mejor inversion en visitas cortas a ciudades europeas es comprar la City Card. Se puede comprar tambien online en European City Cards . El precio es diferente dependiendo de la ciudad a visitar y del tipo de tarjeta : validez de 24, 48 o 74 horas. Y cual es la ventaja de la City Card? Para empezar, te da acceso gratis a todo el transporte publico de la ciudad. No mas lios al comprar tickets individuales, calcular descuentos al comprar tickets colectivos y distinguir entre billetes de metro, bus o tranvia. Con la City Card, una es para todos y todos son para una! Ademas, el poseedor entra gratuitamente en la mayoria de los museos de la ciudad, ademas de recibir descuentos en determinadas tiendas y restaurantes. He investigado la cobertura en Budapest , a donde quiza viajemos en Semana Santa, y la entrada es tambien gratis en el zoo, la iglesia Matthias y la caverna Palvolgy asi como entrada con descuento al Museo del Terror . Y no me refiero a una atraccion de feria, precisamente, sino a autentico terror. El vivido por Budapest durante la epoca de la invasion Nazi y, posteriormente, la Sovietica. No se vosotros, pero lo que es yo, sin dudarlo compro la tarjetita de marras.
