Budapest

The waters of the Danube divide Hungary's atmospheric capital in two, with the cobbled streets and medieval architecture of hilly Buda to the west, and the flat expanse of bustling, commercial Pest to the east. The impressive Stone Chain Bridge is one of six bridges connecting the two halves, which boast a wealth of museums, grand buildings such as the magnificent State Opera House, elegant coffee houses and numerous Turkish Baths, which are a favourite with visitors and locals alike.
