Budapest visit

The importance of Budapest to Hungary is difficult to overestimate. With just two million inhabitants, the metropolis is home to almost a fifth of the national population and administrative, business and cultural centre of the country. Like Paris, the city has a history of revolutions- in 1848, 1918 and 1956 -buildings, parks, and avenues on a monumental scale, and a reputation for hedonism, style and parochial pride. It is easy to see why the city was dubbed the Pearl of the Danube. Its grand baroque, neoclassical, Eclectic and Art Nouveau architecture and sweeping bridges look magnificent. The eclectic inner-city and radial boulevards combine brash commercialism with a fin-de siecle sophistication.
