Flowing through the heart of the city, the Blue Danube divides the Hungarian city of Budapest into two unique sides, Buda and Pest. The hills of Buda, crowned by the Budapest Castle and the Fishermen's Bastion, adorn the right bank of the city and provide magnificent views of Parliament, the Margaret Island and the bridges that span the Danube. The streets of Pest are the heartbeat of Hungary's commercial side and hold some of the city's finest attractions, such as the National Art Museum, Liszt Square, the Opera House and the Market Hall. No matter which side of the river your visit leads to, Budapest is charged with the inventiveness and spice for which Hungarians are famous. It won't be long before you find yourself saying, "Perhaps in another life, I too am Hungarian."
