🇭🇺Budapest
Budapest, Hungary's capital, is home to the largest synagogue in Europe, located in the heart of the city. The city is famous for its thermal baths, and its stunning architecture reflects both its Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian history. The Danube River divides the city into two, with Buda offering beautiful panoramic views and Pest being the vibrant center. The city’s iconic bridges, including the Chain Bridge, connect these two distinct districts.
