Budapest is the capital of Hungary and has around 1.7 million inhabitants. Budapest became a single city spanning both banks of the Danube on 17 November 1873, with the merger of Buda and Pest.
A charming city and a beloved tourist destination, Budapest wins you over from the very first moment you walk it. Eight imposing bridges linking Buda with Pest, old and new thermal baths, a huge covered market with something for every budget, and historic sights — Budapest is the city that weds the old with the new, naturally and effortlessly. And without a second thought, a night out at a Ruin Pub (pubs housed in abandoned buildings) is a must: thanks to the aesthetic of the space, they are an experience in their own right.
