You are here: Home / Europe / Hungary / Budapest
Budapest offers a very different experience and it feels a million miles away from Europe, this despite being at the very heart of Europe for hundreds of years. As Hungary's capital it has enjoyed a considerable amount of power and influence throughout Europe and now is a real beacon for travellers and visitors. Nestling on the River Danube, which is referred to in Hungarian as the Duna, this is a very beautiful city, with its wonderful skyline, which when it is lit at night is nothing short of spectacular.
It has a number of viewpoints which give panoramic views of both the city and the Danube. The number of historic buildings, museums, churches and impressive sights are simply too numerous to mention, for this really is a city which has great architecture and a very cultural air and ambience. The shopping here is also fantastic with some great opportunities to pick up some real bargains. Nightlife in Budapest is also fantastic and varied. At night it seems to come alive in a different way and there are lots of bars, clubs and restaurants, as well as theatres and even opera sometimes, so whatever your tastes in nightlife you will find something to interest you. Budapest is really just too grand and too diverse to see on one trip, so you will find yourself coming back again and again to experience the rich variety it has to offer. Travelling to Budapest couldn't be easier, due to the many operators now offering cheap flights. These include EasyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair and Jet2.com amongst others.
