CROSSING THE DANUBE: Budapest Chain Bridge by night

Divided by the River Danube, the twin cities of Buda and Pest combine to form Hungary's vibrant and atmospheric capital, Budapest.

A small landlocked country divided by the River Danube, the twin cities of Buda and Pest combine to form Hungary's vibrant and atmospheric capital, Budapest.

Resilient and delightful, it has triumphantly outlasted Turkish, Hapsburg and Russian occupation to emerge as one of Europe's liveliest cities, upholding its Magyar traditions, culture and arts, whilst remaining attentive to what is new and fashionable in the outside world.

It is a city of culture and of astounding beauty and grace, drawing visitors to its enchanting magnetism. Outside the capital, the plains, rolling hills and rivers, lakes and vineyards have much to offer the visitor. The Baroque town and fine wines of Eger, historical riverside villages along the Danube Bend, commanding fortresses, castles and palaces, the resort-lined Lake Balaton and the thermal spas and volcanically heated lake at Héviz are some of the country's many highlights awaiting discovery.
