Background
Regarded by many as one of world's most beautiful cities, travellers are quickly recognising the appeal of Budapest, with tourism accounting for approximately 20 million visitors per year. Consisting of two very different cities, Buda on the West bank of the Danube River and Pest on the East bank, Budapest offers travellers Viennese romanticism at an affordable price. However, Budapest is unique in its own right. Hungarians are proud of what this ancient capital has to offer and its contributions to European culture. With green filled parks full of charming pleasures, museums that will inspire, and a pulsating nightlife that is on par with its European counterparts, Budapest is one of Europe's most delightful and enjoyable cities. Thanks to the perfect location, inhabitants' hospitality and memorable monuments is it mentioned as "Little Paris of Central Europe" and "Pearl of Danube".
