Budapest has been home to inventors, composers, pioneering Hollywood film-makers and Nobel Prize winners. It is a city of opposites: hot, sticky summers give way to bitter winters, when the River Danube is stiff with ice. On one side, Pest remains flat and unyielding, whilst Buda rises into the hills. These hills also hold another secret; beneath the surface lies a network of holes and natural springs.
Budapest's position on the widest part of the River Danube has earned it many accolades and UNESCO World Heritage listings. The Danube Panorama and Andrassy út, or Radial Avenue, are particularly exciting. National treasures such as The Chain Bridge, Parliamentary Buildings, Opera House and Royal Palace Castle district are scattered with lights to maximise their potential at night.
The Royal Palace is elevated up on the hilly terrain of Buda and is constantly visible from this lofty position. Castle Hill and the medieval town that surrounds it are steeped in history. Visitors can access it only by a vintage funicular railway where they are rewarded with views of the city that are second-to-none.
