Beauty on the Danube

On one side of the Danube is the old fortified town of Buda. On the other, the flat city of Pest. In 1873, these two Hungarian cities united to become Budapest.

Widely considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with more than its fair share of World Heritage Sites, Budapest is also home to some 80 geothermal springs, one of the principal reasons the Romans first built settlements here in order to enjoy baths and spas, a tradition that remains to this day.

Budapest is definitely one of the coolest cities in Europe. Did you recognize the McDonald’s?
