A Ride to the Museum

Vespas are not as common in Budapest as they are in Italian cities, but they are definitely the best form of transport if you want to easily reach the Petőfi Museum of Literature.(http://www.pim.hu/object.6c0085cf-1425-408d-9287-0bc89959bbf3.ivy)  Nestled in the heart of the city on a recently introduced pedestrian route, the museum is housed by the neoclassical Károlyi palace. Besides literary themed exhibitions, they also own an extensive library and a small shop where one can buy some of the more tasteful souvenirs available in the city. The same building also hosts the Károlyi restaurant, which has a lovely summer garden but is a bit on the pricey side, so if you want a quick cheap snack in the area you'd better head back towards Kecskeméti utca where you can find some student bars huddled around the building of the university.
