The Danube River is an ancient feature of the earth, and it was named ''the king of the rivers of Europe'' by Napoleon. It is the second-longest river in Europe, traversing through ten nations. Beautiful views, including mountains, gorges, and sprawling vineyards, may be seen along the blue-green river lane. Ruined castles, stunning abbeys, and little time-traveling settlements adorn it. 


THINGS TO DO:

Observe Budapest from the Danube river cruise's deck:

Buda and Pest are on opposite sides of the Danube, which charmingly divides Budapest. It exudes an air of vast majesty, and the personalities and cultural experiences on each side of the city vary.

On an enchanted walking tour of Budapest, you may explore their highlights. Both look stunning at night when they are lit up and protected by the Danube.


Travel to Castle Hill in Buda to visit Matthias Church and enjoy the view from Fisherman's Bastion while in Budapest:

St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Great Synagogue, the magnificent Parliament Building, and the Count Dracula-like Vajdahunyad Castle will all astound you there. The Budapest specialties' hot baths and ruin bars should not be missed.


Explore Castle Hill's Attractions as You Stroll the Charming Streets:

  2. Watertown (Vziváros), a bustling baroque neighborhood well known for its eateries.

Return to Pest by strolling across the Chain Bridge:

The Budapest specialties' hot baths should not be missed. The most sophisticated and well-known thermal bath is Széchenyi.
