Located on the banks of the River Danube, the city of Budapest is the capital and largest city of Hungary. From stunning medieval architecture and a renowned classical music scene to the trendiest of night clubs and an ever-vibrant youthfulness, the city of Budapest is truly the gem of Hungary. In 1987, this ‘Paris of the East’ was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites for a number of historically and culturally significant attractions including the Castle Hill, the Danube Promenade, The Millennium Underground Railway, and the historic Andrassy Avenue.
