Best Luxury Hotels in Budapest
Budapest is an architectural treasure trove. The city showcases a variety of styles from baroque masterpieces and elegant neo-classical examples, to striking art nouveau designs. The golden age of this city was in the late 19th century but now a lot of the buildings are a continuous reminder of its complicated history – many are pot marked with bullet holes or shrapnel marks, leftovers from WW1 and the 1956 uprising. This complex heritage though is fascinating to discover and explore. The food in the city is great too – look beyond the goulash and you will find a city with a sophisticated cooking reputation harking back to its time as a culinary capital in the early 20th century. Another iconic feature of Budapest is the amazing hot springs dotted around the city – the locals swear they are the best hangover cure!
