Description
A true “Tour of Hungary” which, in addition to the beautiful capital lying on the banks of the Danube, includes all the places of greatest tourist, historical and folk interest in the country, with a relaxing and entertaining full-day excursion into the Hungarian plain accompanied by an excellent traditional lunch. Budapest nonetheless remains the most fascinating destination, and the best time to savour it is the evening, when the lights come on over the imposing silhouettes of the Parliament (inspired by the English one), the Royal Palace, the Chain Bridge and the Fishermen’s Bastion. When the sky is no longer blue but not yet black, and the Danube turns blue again, you can stroll along the river or sail it aboard a boat and, if you really cannot sleep, you can always head to the Westend, one of the largest shopping centres in Europe, open until 11 pm.
