Founded by the Celts, it was seized by the Romans around the first century, and built on as Aquincum: mosaics, aqueducts, sarcophagi and other remains of which are still visible in Óbuda. The next part of its past is more familiar to the city’s visitors, promoted by statues and artifacts of illustrious figures all over town.Budapest City Lesser Known FactsThe other less known but very important fact about Budapest city concerns its geography. The strange but spectacular view of plain Pest on one side and rocky Buda on the other, joined together by the majestically flowing Danube is truly a breathtaking sight, immortalized on every postcard depicting the attractions of the place.

Hosting around 200 caves, the Budai hills have four extraordinary cave-systems really worth seeing: the Pálvölgyi Dripstone Cave, the SzemlÅ’hegy Cave, the Castle Cave and the Buda Castle Labyrinth. For those interested in geology or the beauty of minerals, it’s a must.Relating to the geothermic activity present underneath its pretty surface, is the vast amount of thermal and medicinal water which gained Budapest the impressive “City of Spas” title. Among many public baths, some luxury hotels also procured themselves thermal springs, giving five-star wellness treatment to their tired customers. You can relax in exotic locations of Turkish baths like the Rudas or the beautiful Gellért Baths, or have fun are Europe’s largest spa, the Széchenyi Spa.If visiting Budapest City, you can’t leave out the ultimate cultural experience bind together with one of the best things in life: eating.
