Budapest

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is known as the "City of Bridges" - and for good reason. The city is crossed by the Danube and has numerous bridges connecting the different parts of the city. Budapest has a rich history dating back to Roman times, when the city served as an important trading centre on the Danube. Today, Budapest is a vibrant destination with stunning architecture, a diverse cultural offering and world-class gastronomy. In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about Budapest, including the best travel tips and why it is definitely worth a visit.
