Budapest joins hilly Buda and flat Pest across the Danube, with grand boulevards, thermal baths and coffee houses.
On the Buda side, walk the Castle District to the Hungarian National Gallery and the Fisherman's Bastion. In Pest, visit the Hungarian National Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts on Heroes' Square, and the Parliament, where the Holy Crown is kept. Ride the old Millennium Underground, soak in the Széchenyi or Gellért baths and have cake in a coffee house.
