The capital, united in 1873 from the once-separate cities of Buda and Pest, impresses with its illuminated riverbank promenade on both sides of the Danube, which earned it the nickname Pearl of the Danube during nighttime river cruises.

The neo-Gothic Parliament on the banks of the Danube, with nearly 700 rooms, ranks among the largest government buildings in Europe and still houses the Hungarian coronation regalia in its opulent domed hall.

Over a hundred natural thermal springs supply the city with warm mineral water, and historic baths like Széchenyi or Gellért invite visitors, with their magnificent architecture, to relax in traditional Hungarian spa culture.

Atop Buda's Castle Hill stand the Royal Palace and the fairytale-like Fisherman's Bastion with its white turrets, from where a spectacular panoramic view over Pest and the Danube unfolds.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport is located about 16 kilometers from the center and is served by numerous European cities several times a day, with a bus reaching the center in about 30 minutes.
