Hungary Luxury Holidays
Affectionately known as the “Queen of the Danube”, Budapest is the
cultural and commercial heart of Hungary. It is a city of two halves,
one home to a hilltop citadel and the cobblestone Castle District , the
other brimming with theatres, clubs and swish shopping streets such as
Vaciutca. Few cities in the world can match its astonishing grandeur.
Culture
Gentle and relaxing yet vibrant and vivacious, Budapest’s charm lies in
its mix of cosmopolitan chic and patrician elegance. It boasts an almost
bewildering array of architectural styles, many of them best viewed from
the nine bridges which straddle the Danube.
Architecture
For views of the Citadella, stand on top of Gellert-hegy hill. Take a
promenade down Andrassy ut, enjoy a dip in one of the many thermal baths and marvel at the baroque splendour of Matthias Church.
Visit the Budavari Palota Royal Palace and unwind on Margaret Island
in the middle of the river.
Music
Hungary is world-renowned for its superb standard of music, thanks to
its great composers such as Franz Liszt and Béla Bartók. As you would
expect, some of the finest musicians come from all four corners of the
globe to play in Budapest’s many music halls – including the State
Opera House, Franz Liszt Academy of Music and the Congress Centre.
