About Budapest

Budapest une la montañosa Buda y la llana Pest a ambos lados del Danubio: termas, palacios ribereños y animados ruin bars.

En el lado de Buda, la colina del Castillo alberga el Castillo de Buda, la iglesia de Matías y las torrecillas blancas del Bastión de los Pescadores, que miran todos hacia el río. El Puente de las Cadenas cruza hacia Pest, donde el Parlamento húngaro se extiende a lo largo de la orilla y la basílica de San Esteban se alza a pocas calles tierra adentro. La colina Gellért y su Ciudadela ofrecen las vistas más amplias.

Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
