Budapest is without doubt one of the great cities of central Europe. An array of
architectural styles - the mighty Castle and the Citadel, charming old houses nestling
in cobbled courtyards, monumental empire buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries and
fine examples of the Bauhaus style are complimented by modern buildings of distinction.

The dominant feature of the City is the River Duna (Danube), which flows majestically through
the heart of Budapest with Buda on the west rising from the river bank into the hills affording
magnificent views of Pest, on the east side, with it's tree lined avenues and fine boulevards and
squares with street cafés and restaurants leading some to describe her as 'the Paris of
the east'.

The City is a renowned centre of culural excellence with a fine Opera House, many museums,
art galleries and concert venues including a magnificent new concert hall and theatre complex
on the river bank in Pest.

Lovers of fine food will appreciate the wide range available from traditional Hungarian to cuisines
from all over the world. Relax at a street café, enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a small restaurant
or dance the night away at one of the many night spots - the choice is yours.
