Budapest: The Best of Hungary: Rick Steves' Europe: TV Schedule: Rocky Mountain PBS

Budapest, once Vienna's partner in ruling the Austro-Hungarian empire,feels like the capital of Eastern Europe. It's actually two cities- busy Pest and noble Buda-straddling the Danube and laced together by mighty bridges. Capitalism has taken hold with gusto as shopping boulevards thrive and stone Lenins and cast iron Stalins litter a theme park at the edge of town. Today Gypsy orchestras feature smoking violins, venerable mineral baths are the rage, and 19th century coffeehouses enjoy a renaissance.
