WHERE TO GO
Sights
The Hungarian capital is one of Europe’s most beautiful gems, with a wealth of beautiful and unique sights on both banks of the Danube. More than 2,000 years of memories are waiting to impress visitors to Budapest.
TOP Sights
Budapest is truly a city of a thousand faces. There is no point in trying to cover the city over a short weekend! Besides needing a few days to see all the sights and their delights, the city is spread out over a large area and it is worth taking the time to experience its geographical diversity, from the Buda hills, the banks of the Danube and Margaret Island to the bustling downtown Pest area. The first unique aspect that catches the eye of visitors is how the city is divided in two - Buda and Pest, connected by bridges - and that each side offers a distinct experience and glimpse into history.
HEROES’ SQUARE
Marking the end of Andrassy Avenue and the gateway to City Park, it is an urban masterpiece from any angle. Approaching from the avenue, you can see its 36-metre-high column with Archangel Gabriel on top from afar.
The square, bordering Andrássy Avenue and City Park, began to take its present form on the thousandth anniversary of the Hungarian conquest in 1896. Kunsthalle, located on the right-hand side of the square when viewed from the front, was opened at that time, and it was the same year that a decision was made on building the Museum of Fine Arts, which was later to be erected opposite it, along with the Millennium Monument. By 1929, the whole composition was completed, including a gallery of statues of the most important rulers of a thousand years, a group of statues of the seven chieftains of Hungarians, with the symbolic tomb of Hungarian heroes in front of it and a statue of Archangel Gabriel at the top of the column. The group of sculptures around the column and the pedestal form a visual unit with the two rows of columns arranged in a semicircle. Heroes’ Square offers a summary history lesson to visitors: the works of art here embrace the entire history of the nation and the country, and remind not only of the victims of wars, but also of the artists and the works of art of peacetime and the values of Hungarian culture. Budapest’s Heroes’ Square and Andrássy Avenue are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
CHAIN BRIDGE
With the Buda Castle in the background, the Hungarian capital’s first bridge, now a monument, is a fascinating spectacle that has attracted many tourists to Budapest.
Before it was built, the river could only be crossed via a temporary pontoon bridge, by boat or over the ice. However, a big city needed a real, stones and mortar bridge to match, which is why Count István Széchenyi, the “greatest Hungarian”, made every possible effort to ensure it got built: he made studies abroad, had various different plans made, visited factories and experimented with materials. The decisive step was made when he invited English engineer William Tierney Clark to Hungary, as well as his (unrelated) namesake, Scottish engineer Adam Clark, who ended up building the bridge. Completed in 1849, it was considered a technical wonder of its time. In World War II, the bridge was destroyed, along with all the other bridges in Budapest, but was rebuilt almost in its original form, except for some necessary modernisation. The square at the Buda side of the bridge bears the name of builder Adam Clark, who chose Hungary as a second home and later also designed the tunnel under Castle Hill. One of the highlights of evenings along the Danube is when the lights on the bridge are turned on, accenting the bridge’s arching shapes. With its characteristic shape, two enormous stone gates and beautiful suspending chains, the Chain Bridge has become an essential part of Budapest’s cityscape for over a century and a half.
PARLIAMENT
The Hungarian Parliament building, the “House of the Country”, located on the Danube bank, is an iconic building of Budapest’s World Heritage and is the home of legislature and the guardian of the Hungarian Holy Crown.
Lavishly decorated both inside and outside, the Hungarian Parliament was inspired by the Houses of Parliament in London, so the neo-Gothic style is dominant, but it also bears Renaissance and Baroque features.
Today it is the third largest parliament in the world, built to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian state, based on the designs of architect Imre Steindl.
No expense was spared during the construction work, so about 40 kg of 23 carat gold was used. The dimensions of the building are impressive: its maximum width is 123 metres, its length parallel to the Danube is 271 metres and its dome is 96 metres high. The Parliament building features a mix of architectural styles and motifs: it was built based on a Baroque floor plan, the facade evokes the world of Gothic style and the decoration of the ceiling shows the characteristics of Renaissance. On either side of the dome, the lower and upper Chambers of Parliament are identical in design, symbolically indicating that the two houses had equal rights.
A munkálatok során nem volt helye a spórolásnak, így csak 23 karátos aranyból mintegy 40 kg-ot használtak fel. A Ház méretei tiszteletet parancsolók: legnagyobb szélessége 123 méter, a Dunával párhuzamos hossza 271 méter, a kupola magassága 96 méter. Az Országházban különféle építészeti stílusok elemei és motívumai keverednek: alaprajza barokk, a homlokzat díszítése a gótika világát idézi, a mennyezet díszítése reneszánsz formajegyeket hordoz. A kupola két oldalán kapott helyet az alsóházi és a felsőházi ülésterem, melyek kialakítása teljesen megegyezik, szimbolikusan utalva arra, hogy a két ház egyenlő jogokkal rendelkezett.
ANDRÁSSY AVENUE
Andrássy Avenue is a 2,310-metre boulevard lined with buildings in varied architecture, constantly widening from the city center towards the City Park.
The area was long occupied by small cottages and gardens, but in the second half of the 19th century, Prime Minister Count Gyula Andrássy decided to have a new boulevard built here. After the 1848-1849 revolution, the statesman fled to Paris, where he was dubbed “le beau pendu” (the handsome hanged man) by the ladies. He received amnesty upon his return to Hungary and continued his important political career. He brought new ideas and examples, primarily from Paris, but all the architects were either Hungarian or based in Hungary. Over a few years, out of virtually nothing, an opulent boulevard was built, becoming the symbol of the country’s strength and also of the era known as the “happy peacetime”. Originally, the surface of the street was paved with wooden cubes and was shared by carriages, pedestrians and riders on horseback. It was bordered with elegant shops, glamorous palaces and ornamental gardens, which is still the case today. The most important building on the avenue is the State Opera House, designed by Miklós Ybl, but we can also find the secessionist-style Párizsi Nagy Áruház, the House of Terror museum, the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, the Ferenc Liszt Memorial Museum, and the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts. The boulevard can be divided into three parts, delimited by the eight-sided Oktogon, and by the circular Kodály körönd. Under this street, stretching over nearly 2,300 metres, lies Europe’s second-oldest underground railway, the elegant stations of which are frequented by locals and international visitors alike. Andrássy Avenue is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
ST. STEPHEN’S BASILICA
From any angle, it is an architecturally stunning building. When approached from the bank of the Danube, the building slowly appears, metre by metre, yet without dominating its surroundings.
The church was built on a small hill on which several hundred people sought refuge during the great flood of 1838, from whence they were rescued by boat. Construction began with funds from donations, and was finally completed in 1906. The first plans for the neo-Renaissance structure were drafted by József Hild, which was then taken over by Miklós Ybl, while the ornamental elements and interior were designed by József Kauser. On the main facade, below the tympanum, is an inscription of Christ’s words: EGO SUM VIA, VERITAS ET VITA. The basilica is named after Saint Stephen, the Hungarian king who founded the Hungarian state. The relic of his right hand is preserved in one of the chapels. Built on a Greek cross ground plan, the interior is covered with mosaics, frescoes, statues and stained glass, and can seat up to 8,000 for services. The height of the basilica is, like that of the Parliament, 96 metres, commemorating the founding of Hungary in 896. The circular observation area surrounding the cupola is accessible to visitors, offering a view of both the inner structure supporting the cupola and an outstanding panorama of the surrounding area. Item of interest: several former members of Hungary’s Golden Team that dominated world football in the early 1950s, including the legendary Ferenc Puskás, were laid to rest here. St. Stephen Square in front of the Basilica, paved in decorative stones with geometric patterns, is a favourite spot in summer: terraces with parasols, plants and the fountains of the Basilica all contribute to a Mediterranean atmosphere.
Address: 1051 Budapest, Szent István tér 1.
GELLÉRT HILL AND THE CITADEL
The Gellért Hill is the capital’s popular excursion place. The Citadel can also be found here.
On the Buda side of Budapest’s Danube bank, Gellért Hill rises to 235 m, with the Statue of Liberty at its top. This landmark, which is a major part of Budapest's cityscape, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
Gellért Hill is one of the most popular tourist destinations, as it offers a magnificent panoramic view from the top of its rock face overlooking the Danube, and of course from the walls of the Citadel fortress. The Danube bridges are clearly visible from there, but you can also take fantastic pictures of the Parliament and even Buda Castle.
The thermal springs that feed the surrounding baths are located within Gellért Hill and Mátyás, Rákóczi and Árpád springs also played an important role in the formation of the caves. The most famous cave on the hill is St. Ivan’s Cave, which houses the Chapel of the Order of St. Paul, also known as the St. Gellért Rock Church. This cave is only partly natural, as new passages were added at the beginning of the 20th century to convert it into a rock church, modelled on the cave at Lourdes.
Gellért Hill is a great place for an outing where hikers looking for special sights can explore places like St. Gellért Falls or the Garden of Philosophers where statues of Buddha, Gandhi and Jesus stand under shady trees. And at the Lookout Stone you can witness the meeting of Prince Buda and Princess Pest.
