Budapest was once called "the quietest city in the world" by the French, but there's enough energy lurking beneath its quiet temperament to get you warm. The waters of the Danube River turn abruptly into the Hungarian territory, and then flow quietly from north to south, like a delicate necklace around the neck of this beautiful country, and Budapest is the brightest pearl of this necklace.
