Reise-Taschenbuch Reiseführer Budapest

About the Book

Anyone who gazes at the breathtaking city panorama from the Danube promenade on the Pest side in the evening will immediately understand why Budapest is called the "Pearl of the Danube": The majestic Buda Castle is illuminated as festively as the delicate Chain Bridge, which seems to float above the river in the darkness. At the crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe, many different cultures have met for centuries, leaving their own marks. Simply follow the tours and favorite spots of Matthias Eickhoff and indulge in one of the dreamy thermal baths, admire the magnificent buildings from the Austro-Hungarian era, visit the new museums, try sweet delicacies in a café, experience live gigs in a quirky ruin pub, or relax in the city park and on the Buda Hills.
