New research: Budapest among the world’s TOP 10 most beautiful cities
Budapest is unquestionably one of the most beautiful cities in the world. That is what all tourists agree on after visiting the Hungarian capital. It amazes everyone with its enticing mix of rich history, magnificent panoramas, buzzing nightlife, historic baths and gastronomy, which you can find nowhere else in the world. Now, new research found that Budapest is among the top 10 most beautiful cities.
According to the World of Statistics, Hungary’s impressive capital is the seventh most beautiful city in the world. Budapest precedes other stunning cities such as Vienna (Austria), Bordeaux (France), and even Milan in Italy. The brand new list was already checked by more than 2.5 million users, so we hope that more will decide to visit us.
But what is the methodology behind that result?
You may find the answer in the mathematical analysis of the Online Mortgage Advisor. They measure the beauty of a city’s buildings by scanning Google Street View for front-facing photos of thousands of iconic buildings and streets lined with homes.

They plot points at the corners of every building in their sample of imagery and calculate the proportion of the longest and shortest lengths of its dimensions. They compare those proportions to the golden ratio (1:1.618) to see how well they correspond.
What is the golden ratio and how can it be applied to buildings? The golden ratio (1:1.618) reflects a set of proportions that have intrigued and been studied by mathematicians for millennia. You can find many examples of the golden ratio occurring in nature, for instance, in the measurements of the human body, in flowers, and even in DNA, as they wrote on their website.
And that is how they ranked Budapest as the seventh most beautiful city in the world.
