It's Two Places In One, And Full Of Beauty!

Budapest
Budapest is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and is ranked as "the world's second best city" by Condé Nast Traveler and "Europe's 7th most idyllic place to live" by Forbes. Among Budapest's important museums and cultural institutions, the most visited art museum is the Museum of Fine Arts, which is noted for one of the largest collections of all periods of European art and comprises more than 100,000 pieces.
The city is defined by the wide and majestic Danube River and the distinctive bridges that cross the river. Buda sits on the higher, hillier side of the river while the more lively, more commercial Pest occupies the other side. Buda is more quiet and residential and boasts spectacular views across the river and beyond. Pest is crammed with promenades, cafes, shops, boulevards and the spectacular Heroe's Square honoring those who defined Hungary's rich history. The home of Parliament is grandiose and majestically lit at night. It's truly breathtaking!
Budapest is a must visit when traveling to Old Europe.
We had a wonderful time!
