BUDAPEST
The Hungarian capital is one of Europe’s most beautiful gems, with a wealth of beautiful and unique sights on both banks of the Danube. More than 2,000 years of memories are waiting to impress visitors to Budapest.
Budapest is truly a city of a thousand faces. The city is spread out over a large area and it is worth taking the time to experience its geographical diversity, from the Buda hills, the banks of the Danube and Margaret Island to the bustling downtown Pest area. The first unique aspect that catches the eye of visitors is how the city is divided in two – Buda and Pest, connected by bridges – and that each side offers a distinct experience and glimpse into history.
Unified in 1873, Budapest has been a home to many different ethnic and religious groups over the centuries. The German citizens on the Buda side, the Serbs in the Tabán area, the Slovaks on the Pest side and the Jewish community all represented different cultural backgrounds and religions which is visible in the architecture of the town.
Budapest has plenty of cultural events and sights to visit, because there is always something happening here. It is no coincidence that the Hungarian capital is also known as the city of festivals.
