# if you went with my hotel recommendation, you'll have one of the best private spas in the basement of your hotel.
==== Opera house and St. Stephen's Basilica ====The opera house is within walking distance from your hotel, one M1 subway/metro station down from '''Oktogon'''. The '''Oktogon''' station is about 4 blocks or so from your hotel, you'll leave your hotel to the right. If possible, try to get tickets, itto the Opera house for one night that you're there. It's the best sounding opera house in Europe after the Scala in Milan. If the place looks familiar, it's probably because you've seen it in a dozen or so hollywood movies as a movie location. If you get tickets (they tend to be reasonable), make sure to dress up :) From the opera house, keep walking down '''Andrassy''' street (''ut.'' stands for ''utica'', hungarian for ''street''), about 5 blocks, and look to the right. You'll see '''St. Stephens''' basilica when you come up to a larger square. The church is named after the founder of Hungary. For the way back, you can use the subway M1 that runs along '''Andrassy''' street for two stations, back to '''Octogon''''
==== Parliament building ====
