About Budapest

Budapest unisce la collinare Buda e la pianeggiante Pest sul Danubio: bagni termali, palazzi sul fiume e vivaci ruin bar.

Sul lato di Buda, la Collina del Castello ospita il Castello di Buda, la chiesa di Mattia e le bianche torrette del Bastione dei Pescatori, che guardano tutti il fiume. Il Ponte delle Catene attraversa verso Pest, dove il Parlamento ungherese si allunga lungo la riva e la basilica di Santo Stefano si innalza poche strade nell'entroterra. La collina Gellért con la sua Cittadella offre le viste più ampie.
