Travel information Budapest.

The river Danube divides the city of Budapest in two: old Buda with its Castle Hill on the one side, and cosmopolitan Pest with its grand boulevards and fine shops on the other side.

Visit the Royal Palace, Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion in the cobblestoned Castle Hill area. Take the Chain Bridge across the Danube for huge squares, museums, the gothic Parliament building and the hand of St. Stephen in his eponymous basilica!

Cuisine - Hungarian Recipes

Hungarian cooking isn't all gulyás [ goulash ] and heavily spiced paprika dishes, just in the same way as Italian isn't all pasta and Indian hot spices. Hungarian dishes have a distinctive, unmistakable character of their own, often rich with sour cream, onions, eggs, butter and wine. An abundance of good local produce, meat and fish make for dishes such as Halászlé [ vissoep ], Sült libamájszelet [ in pan gebakken ganzelever ], Almával töltött fácán [ met appel gevulde fazant ], Szarvastokány erdei gombával (venison stew with wild mushrooms) and Fogasszelet bakonyi módra (fillet of pike-perch Bakony style).
