About Budapest

Budapest owes everything to the Danube. This majestic river, here in the middle of Europe, has created history and exceptional beauty. Many of the greatest rulers of history could not resist the temptation to try to mould the city in their own image, which occasionally meant that some of the finest buildings on either bank of the river were burnt to ashes or reduced to rubble. Spending time in Budapest affords a journey through time. Whether sitting in a quiet café over a pastry, admiring one of the performances in the Opera House or perhaps relaxing in one of the numerous ancient thermal baths, it is easy for one to observe how pleasantly the time passes in Budapest, the heart of Europe.
