About Boedapest

Boedapest verbindt heuvelachtig Buda en vlak Pest aan de Donau: een statige hoofdstad van thermale baden, rivierpaleizen en levendige ruïnebars.

Aan de kant van Buda staan op de Burchtheuvel het Burchtpaleis, de Matthiaskerk en de witte torentjes van de Vissersbastei, die allemaal op de rivier neerkijken. De Kettingbrug leidt naar Pest, waar het Hongaarse Parlementsgebouw langs de oever ligt en de Sint-Stefansbasiliek een paar straten landinwaarts oprijst. De Gellértberg met zijn Citadella biedt het wijdste uitzicht.

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