Destination Budapest
The Hungarian capital has a lot to offer. Have a walk in the city center on the famous Váci Street, have a look at the beautiful buildings, at the Parliament or the Buda castle. Enjoy your dinner on the Duna corso viewing the evening lights of the city and, if you have some energy left, take in a Verdi-aria in the Opera house. Or try one of the many thermal baths, visit the zoo, the markets, museums... In short: Budapest is the one-stop location to combine dental treatment and world heritage!
Your interests dictate which side of the Danube you spend most of your time on. Anyone interested in history will find it difficult to tear themselves away from Buda, where the Palace summit creates an atmosphere of mediaeval Budapest.
Shop-oholics will very soon be enticed to the other side of the river by the shops and nightlife. Budapest is actually a fusion of three towns, Buda, Óbuda and Pest. In 106 AD, the Romans founded the city of Aquincum at the north-east corner of the Danube. Several changes of population later, at the end of the ninth century, the Magyars arrived. They were descended from a Finnish-Ugrian tribe with roots in Siberia. The Magyar city, with its palace and ring walls, came to be called Buda, and Aquincum was later called Óbuda. The other side of the river was also settled in an area which would later be called Pest.
After having been invaded by the Turks - and later by the Austrian army - Hungary was elevated to an equal partner in the Austro-Hungarian double monarchy in 1869 . Budapest became one of the most important ports on the Danube and an industrial center.
