With its wonderful natural setting, straddling the River Danube, its
beautiful architecture and excellent Magyar cuisine, Budapest is one of
the most satisfying cities in Europe to visit. Its magnificent

houses, its love of opera and its wine-producing tradition. However, the
city is also distinctively Hungarian, its inhabitants displaying fierce
pride in their Magyar ancestry. Their language too, whose nearest
European relatives are Finnish and Turkish, underlines the difference.
