Budapest: The Best of Hungary (S03E11)

Title: Budapest: The Heart of Hungary Plot: Once a key player alongside Vienna in the Austro-Hungarian empire, Budapest now stands as a vibrant symbol of Eastern Europe. This dynamic city comprises two distinct halves—bustling Pest and regal Buda—separated by the Danube River and connected by impressive bridges. The spirit of capitalism thrives here, evident in its lively shopping streets and a quirky theme park filled with remnants of Lenin and Stalin. Today, lively Roma orchestras fill the air with soulful melodies, historic thermal baths are in vogue, and 19th-century coffeehouses are experiencing a delightful resurgence.
