Often called the "Little Paris of Middle Europe," Budapest blends its 1,000-year-old heritage with influences from the Romans and Turks. The city is split into two distinct parts: Buda, with its medieval streets, historic castle, and Roman ruins, and Pest, known for its grand parliament building, lively promenades, and bustling markets.

Must-see sights include the State Opera House, Central Market Hall, City Park, Fisherman’s Bastion, and Hero’s Square.
