For stunning views of #Budapest, head to the Buda side of the Danube and admire the view from the 19th-century city walls on Gellért Hill. Just upstream is Budapest's oldest district, the Castle District, home to Buda Castle, Matthias Church and the Fisherman's Bastion.

Cross the Széchenyi Chain Bridge to the Pest side of the city. Visit the Hungarian Parliament building. Pay your respects at the Shoe Memorial on the Danube, a sobering tribute to the thousands of people executed here during World War II.

Admire the magnificent dome of St. Stephen's Basilica. This boulevard of Andrassy Avenue, a world heritage site, opens onto Heroes' Square and the city park. The park is home to the Széchenyi Thermal Baths, one of several lavish baths in the city.

When you're ready to experience moments of reflection, inspiration and sublime beauty, come to Budapest.
