Welcome to Budapest

Already the Romans knew why they settled here: more than 120 sparkling springs and the romantic flowing Danube are just reasons enough in order to nominate Budapest for one’s favorite city. Today culture vultures, gourmets and those in search of relaxation will find what they are looking for at any time of year.

In a backdrop, which is evidence of the long history of the city, Budapest presents itself as a vibrant, pulsating and cosmopolitan metropolis. When the shiny red of the dawn plunges the both banks of Danube into a smooth light or the historical buildings glitter with illumination in the night, you can be finally certain, that Budapest belongs to the most beautiful European capitals.

Today's Budapest has been a habitation site noted for its baths for nearly two thousand years.
The twelve spa baths, fed from almost 100 thermal springs with 19 million liters of water a day, offer with their hot water not only pure relaxation, but also are, as masterpieces of oriental architecture, a feast for the eyes.

Budapest is also best prepared for all locals and guests being in party humor, because the “pear at the Danube” is famous for its big cultural festivals. Especially the Spring and Autumn festival are well known transforming the city into a large stage for sacred music, operas, dance and folklore, jazz and bolero evenings, theatre performances and exhibitions.
