Budapest

Budapest is one of the "youngest" capital in Europe. It has more than 1000 year history. The city consists of two parts. One is Buda and the other is Pest, between the two sides flowing the river Danube and above it there are 6 bridges.

It is a very exciting city in every point of view you can come from any part of the world you will find your favorite place here.

At Buda side which is the garden side of the capital you can live close to the nature protected areas full with beautiful paths to the forests and ski-trucks. Dripstone caves are waiting for your visit in walking distance.

You can enjoy the world famous spa's luxury, or you can take a walk around the castle district which is a part of the World Heritage where you can see how the Hungarians lived hundreds of years ago.

Beside that you live next door to a forest you can easily reach Pest side which is busy, as every downtown is Europe.

This side where mostly the intellectual citizens were living in the past has typical town houses from the beginning of the last century.

Pest is the side of the culture and the pleasure.
