Equidistant from Vienna and Budapes, Gyġr is the most important city of northwest Hungary. "The town of rivers" is a nearly 1000-year-old bishopric where Napoleon won a battle in 1809. The ancient "heart" of the town is at the junction of three rivers - the Danube, Raba and Rabca. Its oldest buildings are 'Lakotorony', built in the 13th century, and the Gothic 'Doczy Chapel', built in the 15th century. The symbol of the town, the Iron Cock, can be admired in Duna-kapu Square. The Town Museum collection exhibits Greek and Roman ornaments, furniture in Renaissance and baroque style, sculpture, paintings and Chinese porcelain.
Budapest looks its most beautiful at dawn, yet it is also spectacularly appealing at night. Even more exceptional is the perfect contrast between the right and left banks. Buda is built upon hills, the feet of two of them - Castle Hill and Gellért Hill - almost stand in the water. Facing it is Pest, as flat as a pancake. This is a vibrant city: it throbs with life morning, noon and night; visitors arriving from other countries get the feeling that something interesting is happening round every corner. Budapest is a remarkable and wholly unpretentious place.
