Hungary

We started our time in Hungary Mohács which is where our boat docked. From there we took a bus 45km west to Pécs. Its central Saint István Square is surrounded by the impressive Pécs Cathedral, the Mosque of Pasha Gazi Kasim built in the 16th century during the Ottoman occupation and later converted to a Catholic church, the City Hall, and other architecturally interesting buildings. We then spent the next two days in Budapest. Budapest is Hungary’s capital with a history dating back to the Roman times. It is the largest city in Hungary and the political, administrative, industrial and commercial centre of the country with a population of 1.7 million. The city as it stands today generally dates back to the 19th century. It was originally two cities, Buda on the high river terraces and hills on the western side of the Danube and Pest on the flat plains on the opposite side of the river. We spent two days in Budapest which meant we only got a glimpse of what this amazing city has to offer.
