🌆 Budapest

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is a captivating destination that seamlessly blends history, culture, and stunning architecture. Straddling the Danube River, the city is known for its thermal baths, including the iconic Széchenyi and Gellért Baths. Visitors can explore the historic Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and Matthias Church on the Buda side, while the Pest side boasts landmarks like the Hungarian Parliament Building and St. Stephen's Basilica. The city's rich history is reflected in its museums, such as the Hungarian National Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts. Budapest's vibrant culinary scene, lively markets, and vibrant nightlife add to its charm, making it a must-visit destination for tourists.

Most of the evenings and the second weekend you will be free to explore the city center of Budapest, which is a vibrant and fascinating metropolis where there's always something going on, so your leisure time in Hungary is going to be well spent.

The city is known for its impressive Baroque architecture – during that period the major reconstruction of the city took place and the effects are visible still today.
