Budapest is often referred to as the "Paris of the East" because of its rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes. One of the outstanding advantages of the Danube Promenade is that it is close to many of Budapest's famous landmarks. 

One of the defining features of the riverfront is the breathtaking view it provides of the Budapest cityscape. Standing on the promenade, you are treated to a panorama that captures the essence of the city. 

The walkway was established in the mid-nineteenth century and quickly became a popular spot for aristocrats, artists, celebrities, and musicians. During World War II, the Danube Promenade was damaged, and it wasn’t reconstructed until the late 1970s. Known as “Duna Korzo” in Hungarian, the Promenade is less exclusive today but remains a cherished location for everyone who enjoys summer walks and the beautiful views of both Buda and Pest. 

You can enjoy stunning views of the Buda Castle District, the Citadella, Gellért Hill, the Chain Bridge, and the Elizabeth Bridge from this location. The most notable buildings along the Danube Promenade include: Gresham Palace, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Pesti Vigadó. 

Along the promenade, you will also find a variety of artistic masterpieces. The promenade hosts various cultural and community events, including the Budapest Spring Festival and several street fairs. 

The area is filled with luxury hotels, restaurants, cafes, terrace bars, and casinos, providing stunning views of Buda. 

The Danube Promenade runs along the riverbanks, offering opportunities to explore on foot or by bicycle.
