7Budapest, Hungary

Budapest’s landmarks shine brightly at night, creating a striking cityscape along the Danube River. The Hungarian Parliament Building, with its Gothic Revival architecture, looks breathtakingly beautiful lit up and reflected in the river. A nighttime cruise on the Danube offers views of the illuminated Chain Bridge, Buda Castle, and Fisherman’s Bastion, creating a fairytale-like setting. For a unique experience, explore the city’s famous “ruin bars,” which occupy abandoned buildings and add an eclectic and lively atmosphere to Budapest’s nightlife scene.
