Budapest - Rose Hill Rózsadomb
Rose Hill (Rózsadomb) has long been one of Budapest's most exclusive residential areas. Elegant villas, large gardens (some unfortunately overgrown), avenues and footpaths extend to Cool Valley (Huvösvölgy). On the side of the hill facing the Danube a modern trade union convalescent home is visible from a considerable distance.

Bubapest - Turbe of Gül Baba
In the grounds of an old villa can be found the Turbe (mausoleum) of a Muslim Dervish Gül Baba (Turkish for "rose father"), which was built between 1543 and 1548. Gül Baba died during a festival in Matthias Church after it had been converted into a mosque.
The rather plain octagonal domed building in which his sarcophagus is housed is now a museum open to the public; exhibits include memorabilia of Gül Baba and the Bektazi Order.
