Our last couple days with the family were spent exploring Budapest or what many travelers we have met along the way consider one of the most underrated cities in Europe. The current city is actually comprised of two former cities divided by the Danube River, Buda and Pest, which were combined in 1873. With a very young culture rooted in old traditions, it was certainly a great end to our quick sprint through Eastern Europe.
The architecture along the Danube River is unmatched anywhere in Europe, bosting some of the most incredible sites, especially after dark. Below are our recommendations of must see places (many on every travelers list when visiting the city).
Fisherman ’ s Bastion & Matthais Church – This unique terrace is a place worth visiting twice – once during the day and once in the evening. With the Matthais Church and its beautiful mosaic roof at its center, the 7 turreted lookout towers offer some of the best panoramic views of the Pest side.
