Budapest, the “pearl on the Danube”, meanders along both sides of the river and divides into the flat plague and the somewhat hilly Buda. Visitors will find all the important sights on the banks of the Danube - the famous Gellért Hotel with thermal bath, the castle hill with royal castle, the university or the rocky Gellért hill with statue of liberty and citadel. In the south of Pest, the Palace of Arts was built in 2005, which houses the Museum of Modern Art with works by Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol as well as the Bela Bartók Concert Hall, which has since made a name for itself with its excellent acoustics.
The Hungarian State Opera from the 19th century continues a long opera tradition to this day.
