Budapest: The city of bridges
Budapest has 15 bridges that connect the Buda and Pest sides of the city. The Buda Castle and the Chain Bridge are the main symbols of the capital, both situated in the historical center. The Parliament, an iconic landmark overlooking the Danube River, is a masterpiece of neo-Gothic architecture and symbolizes the city's rich history. A unique feature of Budapest is that it has more than 80 geothermal springs, which feed the city’s renowned spas, including the Széchenyi or Gellért Thermal Spa. Spanning styles from Gothic to Baroque to Bauhaus, whether rising high above the city or buried below ground, the churches of Budapest are impressive sights and embody over a millennium of ecclesiastical history.
Hungary: The Land of Waters
Hungary is a beautiful country in the western part of the CEE region, renowned for its numerous World Heritage Sites, such as the Old Village of Hollókő, the Caves of Aggtelek, the Hortobágy National Park and others. Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe and a very popular holiday destination. The Danube is the longest river in Europe, connecting ten European countries. The longest river of the country is the Tisza, which has an interesting history. Its regulation was the biggest undertaking in the 19th century, transforming the river into a navigable waterway and converting the dried floodplain into agricultural areas. Hungary is also home to a wealth of thermal water springs – more than 1,300, with 123 in Budapest alone –, offering infinite opportunities for year-round bathing in spas all over the country.
