About the City

Crowning the Danube River on both sides, Budapest is a hidden gem of Central Europe, a city dating all the way back to the ancient Roman Empire with a rich and fascinating history to match. Learn more about the impact of World War II and the Soviet Union’s occupation of the Hungarian capital simply by exploring the city streets and monuments, surrounded with architectural styles ranging from Gothic to Baroque to Art Nouveau. The city’s many flowering gardens and green parks, some of which you can find on the seven islands dotting the Danube, will keep you connected to nature while you study abroad in Budapest. Discover why Hungarian food is widely considered the tastiest and most popular of eastern and central Europe as you sample the many stews locals prepare, along with Hungarian fry bread, stuffed cabbage leaves, and pastries. When in Budapest, experiencing the spa culture is a must: the city’s thermal baths, fed by natural hot springs, have been a main attraction for thousands of years. Study abroad in Budapest, a uniquely charming and different European city, to further your education and improve your future.
