Country
Budapest on the Danube: castle hill, parliament and thermal baths
Destination guide
Budapest wakes above the Danube: on the Buda side, the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church, with its patterned tiled roof, emerge from the morning mist, looking across to Pest and the Parliament building on the opposite bank.
You walk across the Chain Bridge, browse the stalls of the Great Market Hall in Pest and, in the evening, take a river cruise to see the buildings and bridges lit up. The city is built over thermal springs, and its thermal baths, some dating from Ottoman times, are part of everyday life.
On the plate: goulash with paprika, langos and wines from the Tokaj region. Beyond the capital, the Danube Bend and Lake Balaton offer routes into the countryside.
