A beloved tourist destination that somehow still feels undiscovered, Budapest will charm triathletes with its truly unique culture and
old-world opulence
. The spine of the racecourse is the Blue Ribbon of Europe, the
Danube River
, which runs past the
Buda Hills
and the
Palace District
. Crossing the world-famous
Chain Bridge
, you will pass by the most spectacular sights of the city - offering a sightseeing adventure like non the city, nor IRONMAN competitors, have seen before. The Hungarian city is also well known for its restorative thermal baths, some of which date back to the middle ages, offering a chance for well-deserved recovery after the race. Downtown's nightlife district brings you both the culinary excellence of the most elegant restaurants and the relaxed atmosphere of ruin pubs. However challenging your race, you can count on leaving Budapest fully recharged.
