Known as the "Pearl of the Danube," Budapest is a city that seamlessly blends history, culture, and breathtaking architecture. Spanning the majestic Danube River, the city is divided into two sides: Buda, with its historic castle, cobblestone streets, and stunning views, and Pest, the vibrant hub of art, entertainment, and modern life.
Budapest enchants with its historic Buda Castle, stunning Parliament, iconic Chain Bridge, and vibrant city life. Explore thermal baths, savor Hungarian cuisine, and soak in breathtaking views along the Danube.
