Budapest is a sprawling city and several sites in Budapest Outside City Center are well worth a visit. North of the center of Buda are the fascinating ruins of Aquincum, a town founded by the Romans in about AD 100. To the west, the city has plenty of wooded hills.

These offer walks around beautiful nature reserves and exciting cave visits. Out to the east of Pest is Kerepesi Cemetery, where a host of famous Hungarians have their final resting place. To the south of the city is the Nagytétény Palace, one of the most beautiful Baroque Palaces in Hungary. The new setting for Socialist-era statues, Memento Park, is not far from the palace. All the sights have convenient public transport connections.
