Budapest, which is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, has a fascinating history and a rich cultural heritage. Among its attractions are UNESCO-World Heritage sites, museums and other notable and historic places. It is not least because of its rich cultural landscape that Budapest is called the "Queen of the Danube". The city is also called "City of Spas", since there are a dozen extraordinary spas that are fed by over a hundred natural thermal springs. The elegant shopping street "Váci utca" offers you restaurants, banks, cafés, souvenir and book shops, but also small, hidden passages and splendid art-deco houses that are decorated with world famous "Zsolny"-tiles.
