Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We soak in elegance at the thermal Széchenyi Baths, stomp and slap with traditional dancers at a folk concert, visit the Communist All-Stars in Statue Park, remember Hungary's secret police at the House of Terror, sample some paprika in the Great Indoor Market Hall, and cruise under floodlit monuments on the Danube. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #budapest

    As a native of Bucharest, I salute Budapest, the best city in all of Europe :)
  • Oh man, I went to that spring water spa. In fact when I arrived in Budapest, I was having the meanest lower back pain ever! I stayed one day in the mineral waters of that Spa, then a good night of sleep, and next morning I was almost 100%! It saved my Budapest trip!

    I've lived in Budapest for the past 20 years. It's rated the best city in the world to visit by CNN readers. Great place. Great food, nice people - they mind their own business and don't judge you, unlike in England. No racism, very peaceful place. However, this film must be at least 15 years old. It's improved since then.

    Visited at Christmas. This amazing city was even more beautiful with all the Christmas markets. The architecture, the food and the very friendly people make it a rare treasure. I will definitely be back.
