5 Reasons to go to Budapest
Enjoy a taste of Hungarian culture
The Buda Castle district is one of the jewels of Hungarian culture. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is dotted with colourful façades. The Royal Palace on Castle Hill can be reached by cable car and houses the national Hungarian Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. The view from the Fisherman's Bastion is simply stunning.
