About Budapest

The Hungarian Capital is one of most photogenic cities with its spectacular architecture, fascinating history, elegant bridges, and rocking nightlife. The dynamic city is situated along the beautiful stretch of the Danube River, making the view more enchanting. The illuminating bridges connect the two cites of the town that makes up the name- Buda and Pest. It is a wonderful integration of the old and new, enabling you to find vintage buildings and sophisticated modern structures simultaneously.

You can tour the city by just walking down the streets and relish it in the most pristine form. The tour can be started by gazing at the Hungarian Parliament for its stunning architecture, followed by cruising on the Danube River for an ecstatic view from the deck. If you feel a need to relax, hit the thermal baths that offer a natural soothing effect on everyone. The city is flooded with excellent accommodation and cheap food, which would fit nicely even in the tightest budgets. The House of Terror, the National Gallery, and Buda Castle are some of the finest places for learning the city’s history.

At night before hitting the sack, make time to visit the Ruin Pubs for its innovative idea of recreating pubs from remains of a building. The backpackers can hike the Gellert Hill, which is 235-metres high, but the glimpse of the city from above is worth the effort. The Heroes’ Square is the centrepiece and largest square in the country, built to celebrate the country’s 1000th anniversary. The vibrant city will definitely leave a lasting impression for the romantic parks, grand buildings, lively underground bars, century-old baths, bustling food halls, daring hikes and accommodation.
