BUDAPEST CITY BREAKS   >   HUNGARY


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!
