Rick Steves' Europe. Budapest - The Best of Hungary
Description
Budapest, once Vienna's partner in ruling the Austro-Hungarian empire, feels like the capital of Eastern Europe. It's actually two cities - busy Pest and noble Buda - straddling the Danube and laced together by mighty bridges. Explore this charming metropolis with the host, writer and producer of the popular public television series, Rick Steves' Europe. Rick remarks how capitalism has taken hold with gusto as shopping boulevards thrive and stone Lenins and cast iron Stalins litter a theme park at the edge of town. Today Gypsy orchestras feature smoking violins, venerable mineral baths are the rage, and 19th-century coffeehouses enjoy a renaissance.
