About Budapest

Budapest verbindet das hügelige Buda und das flache Pest über die Donau: Thermalbäder, Uferpaläste und lebhafte Ruinenkneipen.

Auf der Budaer Seite trägt der Burgberg die Burg Buda, die Matthiaskirche und die weißen Türmchen der Fischerbastei, die alle auf den Fluss hinabblicken. Die Kettenbrücke führt hinüber nach Pest, wo sich das ungarische Parlamentsgebäude am Ufer entlangzieht und die Stephansbasilika wenige Straßen landeinwärts aufragt. Der Gellértberg mit seiner Zitadelle bietet die weiteste Aussicht.
