Budapest
is the capital city of Hungary and with a population of 2 million
citizens it is the largest city in the country. The city is often
referred to as the Paris of the east, and deserves this name.
It bears some resemblance to Prague, but is larger and friendlier.
The picturesque setting on two sides of the Danube, the nine
connecting bridges and the villas and public buildings really
make Budapest one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe. Budapest
is composed of two cities: the small Buda, on the west side of
the river looking over the much larger Pest on the opposite side.
The two parts developed separately as the bourgeois Buda with
its palaces and spas and the more commercial Pest. At first,
the hills of Buda were the safe core of the twin cities, but
as Buda and Pest were united with Óbuda
(Ancient Buda) the plains of Pest became the center of the growing
metropolis.
Today, the most famous landmark of Budapest is the Parliament
building on the banks of the Danube. The best view of the Parliament
can be had from Castle Hill, a Budapest highlight itself. This
collection of palaces, churches and monuments has been declared
a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is a must see for every
tourist. Budapest has some very good museums as well, The National
Museum, the Jewish Museum and the Historical Museum of Budapest
being the best.
Budapest has become a gay mecca in this part of Europe with
many gay places. By day, you can visit museums, take a coffee
in one of the cafes or visit gay sauna Magnum. By night you
can have a dinner at either a cheap or a fancy restaurant and
after go to the gay discos or bars.
Since the
fall of the communist regime, a commercial gay infrastructure has
grown up, though there is less of a sense of community than in
other European countries. Nevertheless the very first gay youth
group was founded recently and a Gay Pride Day in Budapest has
been organized every year since 1997.
