Budapest is the capital city of Hungary with a population of approximately 1.8 million people. The city is divided by two by River Danube to Pest and Buda, which have very different characteristics and history. As the area was well populated before the Hungarian tribes arrived, you can explore Roman ruins across the city, Aquincum being the best conserved site. Other than that, the Buda side is famous for its hills, like Gellért Hill with the Liberty Statue and the Castle district. Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church are linked to the Széchenyi Chain Bridge by the Castle Hill Funicular. The Chain Bridge is one of the seven bridges of the city where you can cross the river to the Pest side. Another famous bridge is the Margaret Bridge from where you can take the most beautiful pictures of both sides of the city and you can also enter Margaret Island.

It is very hard to pick a main attraction on the Pest side, as you’ll find here the historic city center with the Parliament, St. Stephen’s Basilica, Andrássy Avenue, the Millennium Underground Railway, Heroes’ Square, City Park with Vajdahunyad Castle, and Dohány Street Synagogue, just to name the most famous ones. Furthermore, the city is famous for its baths like Rudas Bath, Széchenyi Medicinal Bath and Gellért Bath. Culture lovers can visit several institutions such as the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, and the Hungarian State Opera House.
