Situated on both banks of the Danube, Budapest encompasses the colorful hills of Buda and the wide boulevards of Pest. A treasure trove for architect and history lovers. The city showcases an abundance of architectural styles starting from baroque, neoclassical, Eclectic to art nouveau, enough to impress anyone.

Created by combining the towns of Buda, Obuda and Pest in 1873, the differences between the settlements on either side of the Danube are still there to be felt. Buda is defined by its hills. On the Gellert Hill the Citadel and Liberty Statue stand watch over the city visible from everywhere and defining symbols of the city despite their divisive historical significance. On the opposite hill you will find the Buda Castle, the palace we see today was completed in the eighteenth century but it is built on medieval foundations. The palace offers fantastic views of over the Danube to Pest.
