Budapest is popular among the foreign tourists for its famous baths, historic buildings, the magnificent Buda Castle and the Heroes’ Square and, of course, the great variety of pubs, restaurants and clubs where you can spend your evenings and nights and enjoy the Central European atmosphere in the heart of the continent.
