Budapest is famous not only for its world-class dental treatments, but also for its fascinating history and culture. Having dental treatment in the Hungarian capital is a great way to explore this beautiful, vibrant city.
The history of Budapest goes back more than a thousand years. The city was founded in Roman times as Aquincum. After the arrival of the Hungarians in the Pannonian Basin, it became the centre of the Hungarian kingdom. In the Middle Ages, Buda and Pest developed as separate cities, before being united in 1873 as Budapest. The 19th century saw the city's rapid development, marked by the construction of the Széchenyi Chain Bridge and Andrássy Avenue. Although the city was challenged by the Second World War and the 1956 revolution, today Budapest has become one of the most important cultural and economic centres in Central Europe
Budapest is renowned for its beautiful architecture on both banks of the Danube. The Buda Castle District, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers unparalleled views of the city. The historic castle walls and the stunning Matthias Church are also well worth a visit. The Széchenyi Chain Bridge and the Parliament building are also unmissable attractions.
The city is also renowned for its thermal spas, which are the perfect place to unwind and recuperate after dental treatment. The Széchenyi and Gellért Baths provide a healing experience in an elegant setting
Budapest's gastronomy is also world famous. A visit to Budapest is not complete without trying traditional Hungarian dishes such as goulash soup, stuffed cabbage or the chimney cake (kürtőskalács). Gastronomy lovers will also enjoy the numerous Michelin-starred restaurants and modern bistros.
There is a vibrant cultural scene as well, with the Opera House, the Music Academy, and numerous theatres and concert venues offering high-quality performances. If you prefer modern art, the Ludwig Museum also has contemporary works on display.
Budapest is world-famous for its nightlife too, particularly its so-called ruin bars. The unique atmosphere of Szimpla Kert and other similar places offer a unique experience. And if you're in the mood for shopping, the boutiques on Andrássy Avenue and the shops on Váci Street are both excellent options.
Not only is Budapest beautiful and rich in experiences, it also offers more affordable prices than most major Western European cities when it comes to accommodation, restaurants and leisure activities. Its well-organised public transport system also makes it easy to get around the city.
Make sure you take time to explore Budapest in addition to your dental treatment – you are guaranteed an unforgettable experience!
