Budapest

It’s the capital of Hungary and situated in Central Europe, embracing the two sides of the river Danube.

With nearly 1,7 million citizens it’s by far the largest city in the country.

Actually you can explore two cities in one, because Budapest is made up of Buda and Pest, with the Danube flowing between them, along a stretch of 28 kilometers.

Buda is built on a hill, on the Western bank of the river and forms the historical part of the city. Pest stands on a plain and it’s more businesslike with its shops and boulevards.

You can walk between the two connected, but still very different parts of the city on magnificent bridges.

Budapest history is not the least bit boring, though the city was born only in 1873, with the unification of Buda, Pest and Óbuda.

Budapest experienced many wars, invasions, liberations, just to be reoccupied again. But she is a tough a lady, always manages to survive and miraculously revive.

This constant cycle of destructions and restorations formed the current captivating cityscape.

In Budapest you can see traces of history everywhere.

On her magnificent buildings, cobbled streets and on people’s faces. Lots of pages could be written about Budapest’s history.

What to see in Budapest? As the keeper of several major attractions in Europe – the largest thermal water system in the world, the first Underground Railroad on the continent, the third largest Parliament building in the world and the largest synagogue in Europe – Budapest has no shortage of things to see.
