Budapest is a truly authentic and historic European capital, but it also has an innovative, pulsating personality, making it a versatile and cosmopolitan city. The beautiful built and natural environment, the grandiose architecture, the historical thermal spas, the diverse and vibrant gastronomy, a blossoming fashion and design scene, and the immensely rich cultural life, de¬ne Budapest’s sparkling and original character. Although it takes several days to fully explore the Hungarian capital itself, it is also worth seeking out attractions in the surrounding area. The most popular day-trip destination is the Danube Bend with its unparalleled panorama, medieval castles, small, inspirational towns and the numerous hiking and biking opportunities but there are many other interesting and exciting locations to visit only 1-1,5 hours away from Budapest.
