Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is often referred to as the "Paris of the East." This vibrant city is known for its stunning architecture, rich history, and lively cultural scene. Divided by the majestic Danube River, Budapest consists of two main parts: Buda and Pest. Buda is the hilly, historical side, offering spectacular views and a wealth of ancient buildings. In contrast, Pest is the flat, bustling urban heart, home to many of the city's modern attractions and amenities. The city's origins date back to Roman times, and its long history is reflected in its diverse architectural styles, from Roman ruins and Gothic churches to Baroque buildings and Art Nouveau structures. Budapest is not just a visual feast; it also boasts a wide range of thermal baths, thanks to its location on a patchwork of thermal springs. These baths, some of which date back to the Turkish occupation, provide a unique way to relax and soak in the city's historic atmosphere. In recent years, Budapest has become a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. It offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, culture, food, or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. From the grandeur of the Parliament building to the charm of the Buda Castle, the city is full of iconic landmarks that captivate and inspire. Budapest's culinary scene is another highlight, blending traditional Hungarian flavors with modern culinary trends. Street food stalls, cozy cafes, and fine dining restaurants offer a taste of the local cuisine, which includes hearty dishes like goulash and chimney cake. The city's markets, especially the Great Market Hall, are perfect for exploring Hungarian food culture and picking up local delicacies. The city's vibrant nightlife, characterized by its famous ruin bars, also attracts a younger crowd. These unique bars, often set in the ruins of abandoned buildings, provide an eclectic and lively atmosphere where you can enjoy drinks and music late into the night. Overall, Budapest is a city that combines old-world charm with modern energy, making it a must-visit destination for travelers looking to experience the best of both worlds.
