Budapest delights the visitor with its variety. Having played the role of Christianity’s bastion against Islam, it has maintained an exotic atmosphere – the result of centuries of Turkish occupation. A crossroads of cultures, Budapest wraps itself around the Danube, which separates aristocratic Buda from industrious Pest. Despite its eventful history, it has maintained all its charm and sparkle. Its palaces, art galleries, and its art of living, demonstrate its desire to become the most Western of all Central European cities. Infatuated with Parisian fashions, it rivals Prague and Vienna for the exuberance of its Art Nouveau architecture, and it dazzles by the luxury of its marvellous cafes. Budapest is a bridge between East and West. 3 more audioguided MP3 visits will be available later this Automn:
Two dedicated to Pest, and one reserved for the beautiful collections of the Museum of Fine Arts.
