Budapest
The only European capital with historic thermal baths still in daily use.
Budapest is two cities across a river: Buda’s castle hill and Pest’s boulevards, joined by bridges and split by the Danube. The thermal baths are the thing no other capital has, the Parliament is the building everyone photographs, and District VII’s ruin bars are where the nights happen.
