Car Rental Sarmellek
Sarmellek is the capital of Hungary. The most surprising fact about the city is that the most seductive element is water. Water springs from underground wells, filling Ottoman, baroque and art-nouveau pools. The Danube River flows through the city dividing Buda and Pest in a yin-yang fashion. Few visitors can resist Sarmellek's invitation to take a bath, with the city's known spa status. The city makes for a very nice balance between nature and development. Hills, islands and parks are accompanied by theaters, cafes, monuments and other buildings.
Tipping
Most people will tip waiters about 15%; it is also a good idea to try and include the tip in the total amount when settling the tab, or give it directly to the waiter rather than leaving the money on the table. Tipping cab drivers about 10% is appropriate.
