Budapest - The Pearl Of Danube

04/08/2014
Starting in the black forests of Southwest Germany and finishing at the Black Sea, the Danube is the second largest river in Europe. Along its length of 1,777 miles, this historic river has many cities along its shores including Regensburg, Passau, Vienna and Bratislava. However, it’s in Budapest where the Danube has made quite an impact.

At Brit Olom Tours in Miami we want you to discover the beauty and charm of Budapest. This Eastern European capital is certainly one of the most charming cities in the region.

Buda & Pest

Those were the names of two different cities, separated by the Danube river that joined in 1873 to create... Budapest. Together, Buda on the west bank of the river and Pest on the east bank, offer visitors two very different personalities that join to create one unique capital.  

The Parliament 

You have probably seen pictures of this impressive building, which is the largest and tallest in Hungary. Completed in 1904 it was designed under the gothic revival style. Inside, visitors will find 10 courtyards, 691 rooms, 29 staircases and amazing architectural design.

Buda Castle 

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site this castle radiates history. It was first completed in 1265 and although it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times through the centuries, its history and beauty have endured the test of time.  

Spas

Budapest is also known as “The City of Spas” and there is a good reason for it. The romans colonized Budapest so they could use their thermal springs. Over the years new baths were constructed for medicinal purposes but their reputation continues until this day.ConclusionNeed we say more? These are just some of the beautiful sites that await you in Budapest.
