Budapest

Fantastic spa baths, wonderful food, fun, exotic shopping – this is Budapest!

Budapest, often celebrated as the city where “beer is cheaper than water,” offers affordable indulgence and is widely recognized for this characteristic.

Budapest is actually a merger of two cities on each side of the Danube – Buda and Pest. Buda, on the west side, is the oldest part with narrow alleys and nice architecture. Pest, on the east side, is the city’s commercial centre with wide avenues filled with stores, restaurants, theatres and museums. The two parts are linked together by 10 beautiful bridges.

Budapest is a worn down capital, but very beautiful with a captivating charm. Up on high, by the famous castle, you can enjoy a marvellous view over the town, and the busy river Danube is right at your feet.

Budapest is crammed full with historical attractions. To stroll around, take a spontaneous sightseeing tour along one of the many tramway lines or a boat tour on the Danube; both are nice activities for less than 10 euro.

Currency: Hungarian forint (HUF).
