S7E13 Budapest, Hungary

Budapest, the "Queen of the Danube," provides an unforgettable climax to the journey. Divided by the river, you'll see the hilly, historic Buda side featuring the fairytale turrets of Fisherman’s Bastion, Matthias Church, and the expansive Buda Castle, directly facing Pest across the iconic Chain Bridge. On the Pest side stands the magnificent neo-Gothic Hungarian Parliament Building resting along the water's edge. Your itinerary also includes sailing through the Danube Bend, where the river curves dramatically through forested hills past historic monuments like the hilltop fortress of Visegrád and the massive Esztergom Basilica.
