Budapest is known as the ’Central European Paris’, due to it’s romantic atmosphere, beautiful buildings, sights and landscape. It has two major parts, Buda with it’s hills and forrests, ancient buildings, long history, and Pest, with it’s pulsating nightlife, more modern buildings and great boulevards which are very similair to Paris’ boulevards. The two part is seperated by Danube, which is the second longest river in Europe, and has many islands, in Budapest too.
