A city trip to Hungarian Budapest is actually a trip to two cities. Originally, Buda and Pest were independent cities, separated from each other by the river Danube. The two cities had their own character, which can still be seen: Pest is busy and dynamic whereas Buda is calm and relaxed. That provides options…

Budapest is the capital city of Hungary. With a unique, youthful atmosphere, a world-class classical music scene as well as a pulsating night life increasingly appreciated among European youth and, last but not least, an exceptionally rich offering of natural thermal baths, Budapest is one of Europe's most delightful and enjoyable cities. Due to its scenic setting and its architecture it is nicknamed "Paris of the East".
