As the ‘Paris of the East’, Budapest is renowned as one of the most stunning capital cities in Central Europe. It is steeped in history and set on both sides of the River Danube, with ‘Buda’ and ‘Pest’ on the city’s West and East banks respectively, offering travellers an enchanting cultural escape. Bustling shops and nightclubs intermingle with ‘must see’ world heritage sites, theatres and museums to make it one of the most highly attractive holiday destinations. The only capital in the world to feature a remarkable thermal cave network right underneath the city’s hills, Budapest is truly unique. Hungarians take a deep sense of pride in their history and add to the city’s celebrated experience of welcome and wonder.
