Budapest lures visitors for a number of reasons, including its spa culture and picturesque views of the Danube River. Originally a Roman town, Budapest is divided into two main areas, the hillier Buda area and flatter Pest. A funicular connects the castle to the old town of Buda. 

In addition to the new Budapest connection, this October the new route linking Luxembourg and Toulouse, France’s “pink city”, is expected to begin.
