Tale of Buda and Pest divided by Danube
Budapest at night
|
Budapest is an easy flowing name while in reality; it is a merger of 2 cities into one beautiful dreamland. Danube River flowing across divides this big city into 2, and exactly the city has 2 different ways a city can exist. While pest is metropolitan city busting with busy wide streets filled with people all around, on the other had Buda being hilly region has more of narrow street old style buildings stone paved roads less hustle of course tourists do take up the large crowd, few parts are maintained as personal space not allowed for public viewing.
This city can be enjoyed the most afternoon to evening; its picturesque appearance when the lights are on is a sight to behold. Walking on the chain bridge view of the city on both sides are breathtaking. You just want to stand and watch without blinking your eyes.
Buda castle on one side of Danube at the hilltop can be reached via cable car or even the hop on hop off tourist buses prices vary accordingly. You may choose cable car reaches the top and walk around the hilltop, but if short on time hop on hop off is best as it directly take you to spots for tourist.
While on the other side of the Danube River has the Pest with modern life bustling with heavy traffic flooded city people busily walking around, Cafes brewing hot coffees, restaurants lined up through the streets. The exact opposite to how the Buda is. But change is the part of nature and it is always best to enjoy both.
When I visited Budapest last had a pleasant time there, people are friendly, warm and welcoming. Most of the European cities have their native language used at most but it is not difficult to find people who speak English, if you ever need some help.
