Greater Budapest


While the city centre has enough to keep most visitors happy for
weeks, Budapest’s suburbs have now spread out almost endlessly
into the surrounding Pannonian plains and
incorporate some extraordinary sights.
These include the former Roman city of
Aquincum, today bordered by a train line
and a highway, as well as the former
Roman garrison at Óbuda to the
southwest. The Buda Hills, once some
distance from the city, now have
villas and apartment blocks in their
foothills, while the remarkable
limestone caves at Pálvölgy and
Szemlő-hegy are almost lost in
the city’s urban sprawl.
