Danube - Day 9: around Budapest (on foot and by metro)

Full day of tourism around Budapest: we toured the Jewish Museum at the Dóhany Street Synagogue, then swung by the Donut Library on our way to the Hungarian National Museum. My photos don't do the Hungarian Museum justice; it crammed 1000 years of Hungarian history into 19 rooms. Afterwards, we took the metro to the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, and then came back to get drinks and dinner at Bestia, a brewpub near the hotel.
