Rick Steves’ Europe: 3x11
Budapest: The Best of Hungary
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. 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 Roma (Gypsy) orchestras feature smoking violins, venerable mineral baths are the rage, and 19th century coffeehouses enjoy a renaissance.
