Flights to Budapest - By: Asifkhan

Budapest is recognized as the largest city in all of Hungary and is also the capital city of the country. The city has a major importance in Hungary not only because it is the capital city but also from the fact that it is considered as a platform for operating Hungary as it is the only industrial, commercial, and political hub. You can easily get the direct Flights to Budapest from all major airports of United Kingdom.

When driving through Budapest remembers that the River Danube splits the city into two parts - Buda (a city on the west bank) and Pest (a city on the east bank). If you need help orientating yourself you may also wish to have a sat nav system in your car, a good idea if you don't speak Hungarian. Take some time to see the beautiful bridges which cross the Danube such as the Lágymányosi Bridge, the Margaret Bridge and the Árpád Bridge. All have a range of architectural styles.

The must-see areas of Budapest have been put onto the UNESCO World Heritage list and are the Buda Castle Quarter, the Banks of the River Danube, and Andrássy Avenue.

The Museum of Fine Arts is another one of the most popular Budapest City Breaks attractions for those who are interested in enjoying a grand cultural experience. Found in City Park next to the Heroes' Square monument, the Museum of Fine Arts features a variety of works, including Egyptian Art, Classical Antiquities, 19th and 20th century Modern Art and more. With more than 3,000 paintings found in the Old Masters Collection, there is plenty to see at the Museum of Fine Arts. The Museum of Fine Arts is open year-round, though it is closed on Mondays.

St Stephen's Basilica
Just around the corner you can spy the towering dome of St Stephen's Basilica. Many of the country's celebrated artists and craftsmen worked on it, over fifty years of construction and decoration. A true collaboration, this wonderful neo-renaissance dome is even more impressive on the inside. So as you whizz by in your Budapest airport shuttle, make a promise to come back and venture to the top (by elevator!) and enjoy panoramic views of the city.

Buda Castle
Although your Budapest airport transfer may not take you past the famous Buda Castle which presides over the city, you will probably see a tantalising glimpse of it from a distance, which will whet your appetite for a closer inspection. Beginning life as a fortress in the 13th century, the castle was later extended to become a palace, and has undergone several major reconstructions. It now houses the Historical Museum, the National gallery and the National Library, and you can catch a funicular to the top from the eclectic Castle district of the city.

Budapest is also rich in history and there are some places that are really worth seeing. Among these places is the Parliament building of Government which is one of the top tourist destinations. Also "Castle Hill", the great river which used to divide Buda and Pest from each other and now connects them "River Danube" are included in the list of "UNESCO World Heritage Sites".
