Hungary’s capital city lies upon the tranquil Danube River and is undeniably one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe. Vienna Gate Square’s Baroque churches and rococo homes serve as an idyllic backdrop for bustling city streets, cafes, clubs and boutiques. Major attractions include the Buda Castle (also known as the Royal Palace or Royal Castle), the Hungarian Parliament Building, the Great Synagogue and Hercules Villa.

Hungarian Art Nouveau architecture is prominent in Budapest and was heavily influenced by eastern styles in the late 19th century, including those found in Syrian and Indian art of the same period.
