However, this nickname is also, in part, due to Budapest\u2019s abundance of beautiful architecture in various styles ranging from baroque and neoclassical to art nouveau.\r\n\r\nAlthough there is far more to it, this city is famed for its thermal baths. It is the largest spa city in the world which has earned it the nickname, \u2018City of Baths\u2019. The water here is known for its healing properties and is the perfect place to put your feet up to relax after a long day of sightseeing.\r\n\r\nThe centre of Budapest<\/a> is relatively small and can easily be explored, even if you are just visiting for a few days and is ideal if you are looking for short break destinations<\/a>.

The two distinct parts of the city sit either side of the Danube River and are connected by the Chain Bridge.\r\n\r\nThe majority of tourists will base themselves in Pest because it is the liveliest part of the capital. This is where you\u2019ll find the heart of the city\u2019s nightlife, the best restaurants and many of the top attractions. Buda, on the other hand, takes you away from the hustle and bustle, offering a tranquil escape especially around the hills.

Therefore, it is easy to walk around and often simpler to do so.\r\n\r\nHowever, there is also a metro, trams, trolley buses and buses. You can also take the H\u00c9V railway if you wish to head to the outskirts or the Fogaskereku if you are in the Buda hills. There are also riverboats and the Danube River Ferry Service, which is the perfect way to see the city from the water.\r\n\r\nPublic transport is both easy and affordable and your ticket is valid across all of modes. However, it is important to know that you must validate your ticket before you travel to avoid a fine.

This is deep fried dough served with sour cream and cheese. It is a street food typically served in Lake Balaton.
