Introduction: Budapest – A Tale of Two Cities

Welcome to Budapest, the heart and capital of Hungary, and one of the European Union’s ten largest cities. This city, elegantly bisected by the Danube River, presents itself as two distinct characters: the serene and hilly Buda to the west, and the dynamic, flat terrain of Pest to the east.

Budapest invites tourists to discover its dual personality. While most visitors prefer the bustling streets of Pest for their stay, it’s noteworthy that the Pest side is also more accommodating for wheelchair and scooter users. Although both Buda and Pest have their unique charm, the level of accessibility varies, with Pest offering a friendlier experience for those with mobility challenges.

Cultural Attractions: Accessible and Enchanting

Budapest’s array of attractions, blending historic splendor with modern accessibility, can be fully explored in just a few days. While some historic churches and local businesses might not offer barrier-free entry, a significant number of the city’s most famous sites are equipped to welcome visitors with mobility needs.
