Budapest is the capital of Hungary and the leading economic, industrial and cultural center in the country. The main feature of Budapest is of course the Danube that crosses it in two: the Buda region west of the river with national moments and mountainous terrain, and the Pest area east of the river where commercial, financial and economic activities are concentrated.
Budapest's nickname is "Paris of Eastern Europe" and there are many good reasons for that.
It is characterized by a wide range of boulevards and gardens and has an admirable harmonious combination between architectural styles. Even those who are not familiar with the history of architecture on the continent will be impressed by the different styles, especially before or after the Danube cruise. Budapest is also an economically advanced city with ideal conditions for a trip with the children and the family.
