Why visit Budapest?
Budapest is the capital of Hungary and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The city was formed by the merger of three towns — Buda, Óbuda, and Pest — in 1873 and today is home to about 1.7 million inhabitants. Budapest is known for its impressive architecture along the Danube, thermal baths used since Roman times, a vibrant nightlife, and rich gastronomy. The Parliament building, one of the largest in the world, and Buda Castle dominate the city's skyline.
Horizonti Travel organises private transfers to Budapest from Zagreb and Velika Gorica. The motorway drive takes about 3 hours.
Top Sights in Budapest
Hungarian Parliament Building
The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the largest and most beautiful parliament buildings in the world. Built between 1885 and 1904 in neo-Gothic style, it is 268 metres long. Inside the building, the Hungarian Crown and royal insignia are preserved.
Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion
Buda Castle sits on a hill above the Danube and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The nearby Fisherman's Bastion offers one of the most beautiful views of Pest, the Danube, and the Parliament building.
Széchenyi Thermal Baths
Széchenyi Thermal Baths are the largest thermal baths in Europe and one of Budapest's most recognisable attractions. Built in 1913 in neo-baroque style, they offer 18 pools with thermal water at temperatures ranging from 27 to 38 degrees.
Ruin Bars and Nightlife
Budapest is famous for its ruin bars, hospitality venues set in abandoned buildings and courtyards in the Erzsébetváros district. Szimpla Kert is the most famous ruin bar and a tourist attraction in its own right.
Practical Information for Visiting Budapest
Budapest has excellent public transport with metro, trams, and buses. The currency is the Hungarian forint (HUF). Credit cards are accepted in most restaurants and hotels. Hungarian cuisine is known for goulash soup, lángos, paprikash, and Tokaj wines. We recommend visiting the Central Market Hall (Nagy Vásárcsarnok) for local products. Budapest is especially beautiful at night when the Parliament building and bridges are illuminated.
