Hungary is situated at the heart of Europe, between East and West, North and South. The landscape consists mostly of plains in the east, low hills to the west, and small mountains to the north. Kékes Mountain, the country's highest point, is a modest 1014m. The major rivers are the Danube and the Tisza. The official language of the country is Hungarian, but lots of Hungarians speak English and/or German.

Budapest is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. The warm hospitality of people, excellent food and wine, reliable and frequent public transportation, vivid cultural life, rich museums, etc, attract millions of visitors every year. Visitor-friendly visa policy, value-for-the-price services and goods, and a pleasant climate make Hungary one of the most popular meeting venues worldwide.

The land under our feet abounds in natural springs and wells, that contain several beneficial minerals. They supply the warm, healing waters for the nearly 50 Budapest spas, baths or public pools.
Castle District
In 1987 The Unesco decided to include the Castle District and the Danube embankment in their World Heritage programme . The main reason they did so is that Budapest incorporates many historic and cultural sights that depict important periods from the story of the city.

Travel back to the 13th century as you climb high atop a hill in Visegrád to Solomon's Tower, one of Central Europe's largest and best preserved Romanesque castle keeps. With a commanding view of the Danube as it turns 90º, this spot was of strategic importance to the Romans, who also built fortifications here. Visegrád was the home of Hungary's kings in the 14th and 15th century.

Two royal and aristocratic residences of a more recent vintage - both built in the 18th century - are only a short ride away from Budapest: the Grassalkovich Palace at Gödöllõ to the northeast and the Brunswick Castle at Martonvásár to the southwest.

The whole Danube embankment from the Gellert Hill to the Rudas Baths forms a harmonic integrity including the Danube Bridges and the opposite Pest side with the imposing Budapest Parliament and other outstanding architectural masterpieces.
