About Hungary and Budapest

Known by many as the “ Pearl of the Danube”, the Hungarian capital is undoubtedly one of the most beautifully located capitals in the world.

The city known as Budapest actually consists of three cities: Óbuda, the oldest section, with Celtic and Roman ruins on the Buda side of the Danube; Buda in the gently rolling hills on the western bank, famous for its historic Castle Hill and beautiful residential area; and bustling Pest with its shopping, government and commercial districts on the flat plain of the east bank.

United in 1873, Budapest is renowned as the location of one of the most beautiful World Heritage Sites.

You will find side by side the ruins of fortresses and buildings from Roman times, still operating 400 years-old Turkish baths, Gothic and Baroque buildings, and the incredibly rich Art Nouveau architectural heritage.

It is a city where the pleasing harmony of different architectural styles and superb structures, the cafés, gastronomy and culture, are combined with legendary hospitality and blend into an unforgettable experience
