With an estimated 2016 population of 1,759,407 distributed over a land area of about 525 square kilometres (203 square miles), Budapest is also one of the most densely populated major cities in the EU. Budapest is both a city and county, and forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres (2,944 square miles) and a population of 3,303,786, comprising 33 percent of the population of Hungary.The Budapest metropolitan area had a GDP of $141.0 billion (€129.4 billion) in 2016, accounting for 49.6 percent of the GDP of Hungary. GDP per capita in the city is $64,283, which means 148% of the EU average measured on purchasing power parity. Thereby the city is among the top 100 GDP performing cities in the world and making it one of the largest regional economies in the European Union.
The history of Budapest began with Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement that became the Roman capital of Lower Pannonia. Hungarians arrived in the territory in the 9th century. Their first settlement was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241. The re-established town became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács and nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule, the region entered a new age of prosperity, and Budapest became a global city with the unification of Buda and Óbuda on the west bank with Pest on the east bank on November 17, 1873. Budapest also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the Battle of Budapest in 1945, and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Budapest is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, ranked as the world's second best city by Condé Nast Traveler, and Europe's 7th most idyllic place to live by Forbes. Among Budapest's important museums and cultural institutions, the most visited art museum is the Museum of Fine Arts, which is noted for one of the largest collections of all periods of European art and comprises more than 100,000 pieces. Further famous museums and galleries are the Hungarian National Museum, House of Terror, Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Hungarian State Opera House and National Széchényi Library. The central area of the city along the Danube River is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has many notable monuments, including the Hungarian Parliament, Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, Gresham Palace, Széchenyi Chain Bridge, Matthias Church and the Liberty Statue. Another famous landmarks include Andrássy Avenue, St. Stephen's Basilica, Heroes' Square, the Great Market Hall, the Nyugati Railway Station built by the Eiffel Company of Paris in 1877 and the second-oldest metro line in the world, the Millennium Underground Railway. The city also has around 80 geothermal springs, the largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building in the world. Budapest attracts 4.4 million international tourists per year, making it the 25th most popular city in the world and the 6th in Europe.

2. Singing in Salzburg
Salzburg is a city in central Austria, near the German border. If you have seen the movie The Sound of Music, you may think you know all there is to see in Salzburg. Admittedly, it is difficult not to burst into songs when you're walking along the Salzach River, or climbing up to the Hohensalzburg fortress which looms over the city.
1. Gaping at the Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is one of the tallest mountains in the Alps. The Matterhorn has a pyramidal shape with four faces facing the four compass points: the north and east faces overlook the town of Zermatt; the south face overlooks the resort town of Breuil-Cervinia; and the west face looks towards the mountain of Dent d'Hérens, which straddles the border.

Szentendre Travel Vlog | Day Trip From Budapest, Hungary
Come join us as we take a day trip from Budapest, Hungary to visit the quaint village of Szentendre. This riverside town in Pest county (named after Saint Andrew) is only a 30 minute train ride away from the centre of Budapest and makes for a fantastic getaway if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by being in the city. With plenty of museums, cobbled streets, churches and riverside location the pace slows down for foodies on a quest to just chill out.
We ended up wandering around and eating most of the day starting off by devouring Langos (Lángos - Hungarian fried dough with various toppings) including ones with cheese and cinnamon. Afterwards we visited a wine cellar museum to cool down before tucking into a big lunch that featured goulash (gulyás) and red wine. We also made time to visit a Marcipan museum featuring enormous marzipan sculptures (some almost 100 kg in size) before finally chilling out by the riverside in a lawn chair waiting to catch our Danube river cruise back to Budapest.
Overall, it was a great little trip and something we'd highly recommend for those with ample time to spare in Budapest, Hungary.

Szentendre Travel Vlog | Day Trip From Budapest, Hungary video transcript:
Well good morning good morning. It is a beautiful Friday here in Budapest so today we're planning a day trip. A day trip. We are going to Szentendre. Or at least that is how we think it is pronounced. It means Saint Andrews. Yeah, and I mean to get there we're going to have to take what a some kind of a metro. Metro. Train. And then I think we're going to be taking a river cruise on the way back. Yes. So today is going to be about exploration and also the transportation too. Let's go.
We have arrived! We've arrived. It was a 30 minute journey.
Alright guys so we have arrived in the center of town and that was a very short walk wasn't it?
Yeah, super short and already our first impressions I think of this place is that it is so cute and that it is so quaint and quiet compared to Budapest.
We researched this one place online that serves langos and it looks like a fried dough. We ordered the variety with sour cream and cheese on top and I also put like garlic sauce and hot sauce. Oh my gosh that is fully loaded.
And on to dessert that did not last long I have to say. The first one. The langos. Yeah, we were pretty hungry so.
So if you can see this here there is tonnes of icing sugar on the side and we did you order the cinnamon one?
So Sam is not the biggest fan of museums and this town has a lot museums but one of them is wine museum. Yeah.
I got goulash (gulyás) of course because when in Hungary. Gagaga-goulash.
Look at my bowl. Let's call it a cauldron.
So we have just entered the Marcipan museum. And I'm used to seeing like small little works of marzipan that are edible but they usually are like small. And right now we're going to see some monster works of art made with marzipan. Wait until you see this.
Mickey Mouse over here. Let's look at him. He weighs 94 kilograms.
So we may have overdone it in the food and wine department. We are stuffed. Yes. So since we've arrived in town we've had that fried dough. The langos. Yeah. We've had lunch. We've had lunch with wine. I had goulash. Yes.
And then we also got. We had a little snack with the marzipan. Oh right, we had that we went to the cafe. Didn't we? We had cake. Now we're having drinks. Anyways, the reason we're kind of chilling right now is we've decided we want to take a river cruise back. And that doesn't go until five. And right now it is 3 pm. We feel we've had a really good walk through the town.
