Once two distinct towns (Buda and Pest) on either side of the Danube, Budapest celebrates a renewed joy for life since the fall of the Soviet Block. The Old World charm of old Buda captivates visitors, while the Pest business district jingles to the tune of international commerce. Pampering is of high priority, with medicinal spas taking advantage of a "perk" discovered by ancient Romans and Turks. International palates enjoy a wide range of restaurant options in and around the city. Plan visits to Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum (the Hungarian National Museum) to see the Crown of St. Stephen; Magyar Nemzeti Galéria (National Gallery) in Buda Palace to view art treasures; Hõsök Tere (Heroes' Square) with historic statues; and the Millennial Column, which celebrates the Magyar Conquest (AD 896) when legendary Árpád and his army of nomadic Turks overthrew the Slavs and forever changed Eastern Europe's political and cultural face. A terrifically photogenic city, Budapest offers several noteworthy vistas. Gellért-Hegy, a high hill overlooking the Danube, offers excellent views and is the site of a monument commemorating the city's liberation from Nazi forces; Széchenyi Lánchíd (Chain Bridge), one of the first permanent structures to cross the Danube and link Buda to Pest, grants picture-perfect street-level shots.
