General information about Budapest

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is the 8th largest city in the European Union. Thanks to its natural beauty, architectural artworks, relaxing atmosphere and entertainment opportunities, Budapest is the perfect place for everyone looking for fascinating sights, interesting excursions and relaxation, but also for people who wish to shop and have fun. If you take a walk in Budapest, you mustn’t miss the panoramic view of the river Danube, which divides the city into two main parts, Buda and Pest.

It is best viewed both day and night from a Danube river tour boat, or from a terrace of a pub or café. Hungary is a participant in the UNESCO World Heritage program, with spectacular examples of 19th century architecture, such as the Parliament building, the Royal Castle of Buda, the Matthias Church and the Fishermen's Bastion, as well as Andrássy avenue and Heroes' Square - an unforgettable sight for all generations!
