Explore the beautiful city of Budapest, a great city of the Renaissance, situated majestically on the Danube River. Budapest is famous for its stunning array of architecture and fairytale towers displayed extravagantly all over the city.

Budapest is the cultural, political, and economic hub of Hungary. The mighty Danube River neatly dissects the city, with the old town of Buda extending into the hills on the west bank and Pest sitting in the lowlands to the east.

Enjoy exploring both sides of the city, starting at Heroes' Square, and then walking around trendy Pest - home to the largest Parliament building in the world. Visit St. Stephen’s Basilica, and the Great Synagogue.

Then head across the river to the old town of Buda, with spectacular views from the castle. Enter Matthias Church and end your tour at Fisherman’s Bastion, where you can admire the panoramic views at your leisure.
