The city of thermal baths, where grand hotel splendour and Danube sunsets are simply magical.
Budapest is two cities in one: Buda and Pest are united across the Danube by eight magnificent bridges. The Széchenyi thermal baths, Parliament building, Fishermen's Bastion, and ruin bar culture make it a destination in its own class. The Art Nouveau architecture is among the world's finest, the food is excellent, and prices are remarkably affordable compared to Paris or London.
