Budapest, the pearl of the Danube
Budapest,
Hungary's capital city consists of two parts, Buda and Pest and these
are divided by the beautiful river Danube. The panorama of the Danube
bend is a part of the world heritage, as well as the Parlament, Heroes'
Square and the Buda Castle , which is also home to the National
Hungarian Art Gallery. The Gallery is located in the castle district, a
very popular place for local and also for foreign tourists. When we talk
about Budapest, we mustn't miss out the 5th district which is the
historical downtown of Budapest, where we can take a walk along Váci
street, the most famous Hungarian shopping street, to Vörösmarty Square,
where you can take a rest in the famous Gerbeaud café. You can also
enjoy the traditional Hungarian cuisine in the Pilvax and Matthias
restaurants also close to Váci street. The capital city is also rich in
green areas; Budapest's largest public park, Margaret Island can be an
ideal place for sports, relaxing and also for nightlife. Budapest is
rich in thermal water with it's more than 70 thermal springs, which you
