Budapest

Budapest has been hailed as the most beautiful city in Central Europe. With its abundance of Baroque, Neo-Classical and Art Nouveau buildings, and its enviable position on the shores of the scenic Danube, it's easy to see why.

Budapest - the capital of Hungary, is in the heart of Europe. Straddling the historic Danube River, the site was originally settled by the Celts and the Romans before being settled by the Magyars (Hungarians) in the ninth century. After being pillaged by the Mongols in 1241, the town was rebuilt and became a center of the Renaissance culture during the fifteenth century. The city, originally consisting of two separate towns (Buda and Pest), was joined by the Chain Bridge in 1873. A World Heritage Site, the city of Budapest has much to offer, from the historic beauty of multiple civilizations to a rich musical heritage.
