Budapest
Lying beside the beautiful Danube, the capital of Hungary combines the two cities of Buda and Pest into an amazing menagerie of culture, style, taste, and history. Hilly Buda in the west boasts narrow cobblestone streets and medieval architecture, while in the east Pest has broad boulevards and a bizarre mix of Turkish and art nouveau architecture.
With elaborate bath-houses, a fascinating history, and countless cafes and restaurants, Budapest is truly the “Paris of Central Europe.”
