Budapest, Hungary

Budapest, Hungary

Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River 

Danube, and the 19th-century Chain Bridge connects its hilly 

Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to 

Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum 

traces life from Roman times onwards. Trinity Square is 

home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the 

Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views.
