Budapest, spesso chiamata la "Parigi dell’Est", è considerate una delle città europee più attraenti ed offre uno spettacolo d’architetture e di bellezze naturali. Budapest ha un suo carattere e dei punti di interesse ben specifici; è riuscita a mantenere la sua identità nonostante tutti gli sforzi per modernizzarla. Le rive del Danubio dividono la città in due parti, Buda e Pest, ma ciò non diminuisce la sua armonia; la città è chiamata anche la ‘Regina del Danubio’ o ‘Perla del Danubio’.

WORTH VISITING

Andrássy Avenue (Andrássy út) is an iconic street in Budapest, recognized as a World Heritage Site in 1987, connecting Elizabeth Square with the City Park. It is flanked by important neo-Renaissance palaces and finest houses.

The Hungarian State Opera House opened its doors to the public in 1884. It is a splendid example of neo-Renaissance architecture.

The Budapest Opera House is considered to be among the first few opera houses in the world, as it has the third best acoustics in Europe after the Scala in Milan and the Paris Opera House.
In front of the building, tourists can admire the statues of Ferenc Erkel, composer of the Hungarian national anthem, also the first music director of the Opera House and that of Franz Liszt, the best known Hungarian composer.

Buda Castle is the historical castle of the Hungarian kings. In 1987, the Castle was declared part of the Budapest World Heritage Site. The first royal residence was built by King Béla IV of Hungary between 1247 and 1265. In 1715, a small Baroque palace was built. The interiors of the palace were all destroyed during the Second World War and reconstructed afterwards.

Városliget or City Park is a public park, close to the city center. City Park includes the following notable sights: The Vajdahunyad Castle, The Széchenyi Medicinal Baths and Swimming Pool, The Municipal Zoological and Botanical Garden, The Budapest Circus or The Budapest Amusement Park.

The Hungarian National Museum was built between 1837 and 1847 in a neo-classical style, but suffered changes of style during time. The Portico is surrounded by statues; the most famous one represents the allegoric figure of Hungary, holding a shield with the Hungarian coat of arms on it, sided by Science and Art.
The Hungarian National Museum has seven permanent displays, covering the Hungarian history from the beginnings until 1990.

Heroes' Square (Hősök tere) is one of the major squares of Budapest. It is flanked by two important buildings, Museum of Fine Arts on the left and Palace of Art on the right. In the central site of the square is the Millennium Memorial with statues of the leaders of the seven tribes that founded Hungary in the 9th century and other outstanding figures of Hungarian history.

St. Stephen's Basilica is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary (975-1038). It is the tallest building of Budapest (96 m), offering a magnificent view of the city from its top. It is built in neoclassical style and the interior is laid out in Greek cross. The façade is anchored by two large bell towers. In the southern tower, you can find Hungary’s biggest bell (more than 9 tons).

The Hungarian Parliament Building seats the National Assembly of Hungary, being one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings. The building, built in Gothic Revival style, lies in Kossuth Lajos Square, on the bank of the Danube.

Thermal baths

Budapest is also known as the City of Spas, due to its natural springs of thermal waters possessing various healing properties. Among the most precious treasures are its sixteenth century Turkish baths, as well as the Széchenyi, the Gellért and the Lukács Baths. These spas are the right place for those who search relaxation.

Margaret Island (Margit Sziget) is a beautiful little green area, ideal for relaxation and romantic walks. The island is animated especially on weekends when you meet many people walking or jogging.
