What makes Budapest special
Budapest was formed in 1873 from Buda, Óbuda and Pest. The Danube banks, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The city combines Habsburg-era grandeur, a lively café and ruin-bar culture and a long tradition of thermal bathing. A local guide puts its turbulent history into context.
