Cruise Overview
Budapest is the capital city of Hungary and is located over the River Danube.
It is one of the largest cities in the European Union and much of its historical sites have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Originally formed in 1873 by the joining of Buda, Pest and Old Buda, the city suffered heavy destruction during World War II and was rebuilt into the country's political, cultural and commercial hub it is now.
Bridges and railways connect the city over the Danube, including the six small islands situated on the river themselves.
Some of Budapest’s UNESCO World Heritage sites include Chain Bridge, Budapest Parliament, the striking Matthias church and the iconic Royal Palace visible from every location within Budapest City.
The Castle Hills district architecture represents over a thousand years of the city's history with examples of Roman, Turkish, Gothic, Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles.
Budapest also has a rich Jewish heritage and is home to the largest synagogue in Europe.
The city has an abundance of restaurants offering international cuisines, as well as traditional Hungarian dishes ,including goulash soup, a very popular lunchtime dish.
Hungarians enjoy their coffee so a traditional cafe is never hard to find.
