Budapest
A few adjectives to describe hospitable are welcoming, friendly along with being fond of entertaining. This is a brief criteria of what the most hospitable city should be.
From my judgment and research I believe that Budapest is the most hospitable city. It is the capital city and the largest city in Hungary. Budapest has the most five star rated reviews, beating Lisbon and Amsterdam as stated in an article from Mail Online by Chris Leadbeater.
Budapest is divided into two by Europe's most iconic river Danube. The two halves, Buda and Pest are linked together by Szechenyi Lanchid, the Chain bridge opened in 1849.
Buda is located on the west bank of the river. It holds most of the city's history and has been preserved in the Renaissance with palaces, historic castle district, medieval cobbled streets and houses.
Pest is the newer, more modern half of the city. It holds the largest Parliament building in Europe. It has bundles of flea markets, antique stores and café houses.
Europe's first underground railway was built in Budapest. This city holds a vast amount of culture and history of the front-line World War II battles in 1944. In 1945 the entire Budapest was under strict Soviet lines after being captured by the Soviet troops (Germany). This rich history is preserverd in the city's multiple museum, castles, palaces and statues that attract many tourists in thousands mostly from the Eastern and WesternEurope.
There are many attractions such as the Freedom bridge, Buda castle, Chain bridge, Fisherman's Bastion and Parliament house just to name a few. The city's beauty, rich history, diverse culture and warm hospitality, is truly convincing that Budapest is said to be the most hospitable city and I wish to one day experience it myself.
