BUDAPEST INFO

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is a fascinating city bisected by the Danube. The 19th-century Chain Bridge links the hilly districts of Buda and the flat districts of Pest. Buda's Old Town is home to the Budapest Historical Museum, which traces the city's history back to Roman times. Holy Trinity Square is a must-see, with the 13th-century Matthias Church and the Fishermen's Bastion, offering a breathtaking view of the city. Other sights include Heroes' Square, Parliament, Andrássy Avenue, St. Stephen's Basilica, Margaret Island and Buda Castle. Budapest also offers many unforgettable summer experiences, including the Sziget Festival. To make visiting the city easier, we recommend buying the Budapest Card, which offers benefits such as free public transport, discounts on entrance tickets and free guided tours in English.
