City Guide Budapest - Hotels, Sightseeing, Attractions, Information
Who has ever been able to explain where love comes from? What is it that
makes two people feel attracted to each other? It is a complex of
physiological and psychological processes, inexplicably beautiful, uplifting
and down-to-earth. It is much the same with cities, though their allure is
easier to explain. We take away with us the abiding impressions of
buildings, streets, squares and sights, and of course, the atmosphere, the
feel of the place.

That is the sort of magnetic quality that Budapest radiates. Peaceful and
bustling, a big metropolis and yet friendly, it treasures the old and
embraces the new. Here the historic blends with the modern, the hills
harmonize with the river, that is, the Danube, which flows through the city
along a stretch of 28 kilometers.
With its multifarious and often embittered history, incredible
architecture and rich cultural heritage, Hungary's capital deserves its
reputation as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe'. It has a complex identity,
somewhere between Western luxury and simple traditions.
The city straddles a gentle curve in the Danube. It has broad avenues,
leafy parks and elaborate bathhouses. It also has a turn-of-the-century feel
to it, for it was then - during the industrial boom and the capital's heyday
- that most of the city was built.
There is more to Budapest than fish soup, paprika and Zsa Zsa Gabor. With
its multifarious and often embittered history, incredible architecture and
rich cultural heritage, Hungary's capital has the justly deserved sobriquet
of `the Paris of Central Europe', set apart from other Hungarian and
European cities by its beauty. The city straddles a gentle curve in the
mighty Danube River, the Buda hills rising dramatically on the west bank
while the Pest district marks the start of the Great Plain to the east.
The largest Hungarian city by a mile, Budapest is the heart, soul and
memory of Hungary, with the Danube coursing through its veins. The city has
a complex identity, currently facing something of a crisis with the allure
of modern Western luxury in conflict with the simple traditions of its
Eastern European roots and penchant for all things classical.
Orientation
Budapest is in north central Hungary, some 250km (155mi) southeast of
Vienna. The focal point is the Danube River, which bisects the city into two
distinct parts: Buda is mostly residential and built on the hills and high
river terraces of the western side, and commercial Pest is on a large, sandy
plain across to the east. It is a sprawling city, with the areas beyond the
Nagykörút ('Big Ring Road') in Pest and west of Moskva tér in Buda mostly
residential or industrial and (with the exception of the Buda Hills and City
Park) of little interest to visitors. It is also a well laid-out city;
you'll have done well if you get yourself lost. Ferihegy international
airport is 24km (15mi) southeast of central Budapest.
