Budapest – where Buda meets Pest meets Óbuda.
The capital of Hungary since 1873 Budapest’s World Heritage status
covers the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue and Heroes’ Square. Did
you know that Budapest’s Millennium Underground Railway is the second oldest in the world?
Geothermal springs? Like them? You’re in for a treat. There are 80 of them in Budapest
including the world’s largest thermal water cave system. Talking of size the
city boasts the world’s second largest synagogue as well as the third largest Parliament
building.
3 million tourists a year visit this great city which according to the EIU’s quality
of life index is Europe’s most livable Central European city. Forbes get in on the act too
ranking it as “Europe’s 7th most idyllic place to live”. It’s the 9th most
beautiful city in the world according to CityGuides.
If you like good food you will love Hungarian dishes such as goulash, chicken paprikas
or pörkölt. The wine is excellent too with plenty of home grown vintages. Lorem ipsum dolor sit
consectetur adipiscing elit.
Though our hotel serves a range of Hungarian dishes in their own restaurant there’s
certainly no shortage of excellent options very near by.
