    Budapest, Hungary

  • Budapest

    The Danube River runs through Budapest and separates it into two parts: Buda is on one side and Pest on the other. The city is born of the union between these two sides and the ancient city of Obuda. Nicknamed the pearl of the Danube, Budapest offers its vistors a multitude of cultural activities with its numerous museums, theatres and two operas. The heights of Buda can be accessed by cable car. This allows you to view numerous historical sites, including the Royal Castle or the Gellert Mountain and its citadel. From the top of the mountain, you will not tire of the lovely view of the rooftops on the Pest side of the city and it is actually on this side that you will find the city centre, surrounded by lots of popular shopping streets.As for architecture, you just have to look around you to realise that Budapest reunites an impressive number of architectural styles: from Neogothic to Art Nouveau, passing by the Baroque style. However, you must not forget that the Hungarian capital is also the city of thermal baths and its inhabitants regularly visit them in groups. More than 80 thermal springs have been listed here, which enables litre upon litre of curative water to be provided to 14 baths around the city.

Destination overview

As part of Central Europe, Hungary possesses one of the most beautiful capitals in the world and it is not called 'Budapest: the pearl of the Danube' for no reason. The qualifier reflects the whole country: its Renaissance and Baroque castles, its Art Nouveau cafés, its Medieval fortresses, mosques, pastries and oriental spices, not to mention its thermal springs which were in use in Roman times. Proud and tolerant, the people of Hungary always have a smile on their faces despite the country's incessant succession of periods of grandeur and decadence. Strengthened by its turbulent history, Hungary is a country to see again and again.

Our Editorial team's advice

Budapest will never seem as beautiful to you as when you discover it by its waterways, on the Danube, from Vienne. In order to avoid a nasty surprise when you take the taxi to Ferihegy airport in Budapest, ask the taxi driver how much it is and opt for the big companies such as City Taxi (211 1111), Fotaxi (222 2222) or Tele 5 (155 5555). If possible, those who drive should leave their vehicles in places which are surveyed, due to the risk of theft and they should not leave their car in a service station without keeping an eye on it. In addition, be aware that it is zero tolerance on alcohol when you are driving.
Bear in mind that it is best to use photocopies of your passport and identity documents and leave the originals in the hotel safe. Finally, thanks to the Budapest Card, it is easy to visit Budapest for very little, as this discount card allows you to have free access to public transport, as well as numerous museums in the city. It also allows you to enter certain baths, restaurants and shops. At a cost of 6,500 Hungarian Forints (£20)/2 days or 8,000 Hungarian Forints (£25)/3 days, you can obtain the cards from tourism offices, travel agencies, hotels and museums.

    The Complete Guide to a weekend in Budapest

    A stunning capital, with the green hills of Buda and urban Pest split by the Danube River, Budapest is a real gem. Despite its Soviet past, it is only today that signs of its relatively newly-found independence can be felt. Budapest has a dynamic nightlife, brims full of interesting architectural finds, lots of winding little streets to explore, and ...
