It wasn’t until 1873 that Buda married Pest, becoming
Budapest, now possibly the trendiest capital of Eastern Europe. You haven’t been yet? Let’s give you a quick glimpse:
Shoppers can stuff 60s-inspired shirts into their shopping bags; shoe addicts can be Imelda Marcos’ competition by getting made to order footwear in whatever style you want. How about some 30cm platforms, like those worn by Emperor Hirohito in 1926? Go for it! Want to party all night? Budapest has so many
discos, bars and theaters it'd take you months to visit them all. There are great restaurants and many of them. Click on
Taste of Budapest so you'd know where to take delicious breaks from all the activity.
