About Budapeste

Budapeste une a colinosa Buda e a plana Peste sobre o Danúbio: termas, palácios ribeirinhos e animados ruin bars.

No lado de Buda, a Colina do Castelo reúne o Castelo de Buda, a Igreja de Matias e as torretas brancas do Bastião dos Pescadores, todos a olhar para o rio. A Ponte das Correntes atravessa para Peste, onde o Parlamento húngaro se estende ao longo da margem e a Basílica de Santo Estêvão se ergue a poucas ruas para o interior. A colina Gellért e a sua Cidadela dão as vistas mais amplas.
