A long weekend in Budapest! First, know that Budapest is a romantic city, with two sides so different and yet so intertwined. Green Buda is hilly, while Pest covers a larger, completely flat area. In the middle the Danube with its magnificent bridges. The long history of the capital gives it a very diverse face.
The city was already inhabited by the Romans, who discovered the many water sources in this region, and named their city Aquincum. Then, important medieval city in the name of Buda, and royal seat from the 13th century. Having known an Ottoman occupation for 150 years in the 16th and 17th centuries, Budapest can still boast today of offering the pleasure of real authentic Turkish banns.
At the time of the great reconstructions by the Habsburgs in the 18th and 19th centuries, the city received a new feature of a baroque city, with splendid buildings, then in the Secessio style, which is translated Hungarian Art Nouveau.
This style was invented by the Hungarians who wanted neither to live in the baroque of Marie-Thérèse, nor to take up the French renaissance. Our late 19th century architects picked up the roots of the Hungarians when they lived in the Ural region, blending it with Moorish Byzantine features
