Welcome to
Budapest
Hungary
Budapest is one of Europe's most romantically beautiful capitals — a city of grand boulevards, Ottoman-era thermal baths, and a Danube panorama so magnificent it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. The Parliament Building, illuminated at night above the river, is arguably the most beautiful neo-Gothic building in the world, and the Castle District's Fishermen's Bastion looks across to it from the Buda hills. Budapest's ruin bar culture — irreverent, creative bars built inside crumbling courtyards and abandoned Jewish Quarter buildings — is one of Europe's most original nightlife inventions, and the city's thermal bath culture, rooted in Ottoman occupation, gives it a spa tradition unlike anywhere else in Europe.
