Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The castle and the ornate Matthias Church on the Buda side contrast with the shops, restaurants and fascinating museums on the Pest side. Hospitality and culture go hand in hand in this delightful city. Vienna, the mix between the liberal Austrian soul and foreign influences has released a powerful cultural explosion which is having its strongest effect on architecture, music, drama and other cultural activities of this city. Now there’s time for a taste of it all on this long-weekend trip
