Budapest is a city where you can walk for hours along the Danube embankment, sit in thermal baths and eat langouche on the street. The Hungarian capital surprises with contrasts: luxurious avenues are adjacent to cozy courtyards, and grandiose buildings - with small coffee shops. Three places that really impress: The Fisherman's Bastion is not just an observation deck, but a real fabulous structure made of white stone with seven towers symbolizing the seven Hungarian tribes. It offers one of the best views of the Danube and Parliament. The Budapest Parliament is one of the largest parliament buildings in the world. It was built for almost twenty years, and the dome is exactly the same height as the dome of St. Stephen's Basilica — both ninety-six meters each. Secheni Baths — thermal waters here beat from a depth of almost a thousand meters. The complex was opened in the one thousand nine hundred and thirteen year, and since then it has not lost its popularity. Interesting fact: Budapest has the oldest underground railway in continental Europe — it was opened in the eighty-eighth and ninety-sixth year. This route is a great way to see the city without too much planning. Just go, watch and have fun.
