Budapest is a fascinating city of nearly two million people, divided by the Danube River into the hills of Buda and the flatlands of Pest. Although the skyline is occasionally marred by Soviet-era construction projects, the city seems to have an architecturally striking building on every block.
The UFO structure, the top of which is accessible by funicular.
The lobby bar of the art deco Four Seasons hotel
Four Seasons
Lions Gate Bridge
Hungarian State Opera House
St. Stephens’s Basilica, Budapest’s largest church, which displays the saint’s desiccated arm and hand.
The Hungarian Parliament building, third largest in the world. The interior is stunning.
The Tural Bird, which legend says led the Hungarians from the steppes of Central Asia in the ninth century. Where he dropped his sword would become the home of the Hungarian people.
Matthias Church, named for a popular Renaissance king. The moniker is unofficial, as he was not a saint, and the official name is Church of Our Lady.
