Budapest, your next favorite magical destination! Since emerging from behind the Iron Curtain, Budapest has become one of Europe's best-loved short-break destinations. And with good reason. The city has been called the 'Paris of the East', and romance is all around. Through the middle runs the Danube, lights from illuminated bridges dancing at its surface. The hills of Buda rear from the western bank, home to the cobbled medieval quarter with its grand palace and multi-coloured Matthias Church. Across the river sits the magnificent domed Parliament building, and around it the elegant 19th-century mansions that today contain the shops, #bars and #cafés that give Pest its buzz. You can browse a colourful market for wooden crafts in the morning, soak in a thermal bath after lunch and head for the crumbling courtyard of an atmospheric 'ruin pub' after dark. Every type of cuisine is represented in the restaurants, there’s #accommodation to suit any pocket, and the sights are rarely more than a short walk away. Cross the road to join Váci utca, the pedestrianised artery that runs through the heart of the Belváros (Downtown), lined with boutiques – but beware the over-priced gift shops. It's a vibrant street of buskers, history and the occasional intriguing statue (a favourite is the 'Fisher Girl' in Kristóf tér). After a kilometre, you'll emerge into the grand Vörösmarty tér, where it would be a crime not to stop for a cake at Gerbeaud, the most famous café in Hungary. Head out of the square's top right corner towards #Erzsébet tér, where you could take a spin on the Budapest Eye with its views across the rooftops. It's a short hop from here to the domed St Stephen's Basilica, which also offers splendid views from its gallery – and a casket containing the mummified right hand of St Stephen. Franz #Liszt
