Why Budapest?
Budapest, queen of of the Danube
What is Budapest like? This beautiful and exciting historical city is is filled with culture, tradition and vital energy. Contrasts such as great and small, ancient history and recent times, untroubled quiet spots and the upbeat locations all come together to make up what we know as Budapest.
The Parliament building facing the River Danube is the symbol of the city, while the Castle of Buda on the opposite side is a symbol of history and condition of our identity. It is also a World Heritage site. The surrounding castle district offers the most romantic walks in Budapest. Some of the sights you can find there include the Holy Trinity Square, the Matthias Church and the Fishermen's Bastion.
