Budapest is a dynamic city located along the banks of the beautiful Danube River. The river bisects the city, with smaller, hilly Buda located on the western side and larger and flatter Pest located on the eastern side. The two sections are connected by the stunning 19th-century Chain Bridge. Budapest is the capital of Hungary, as well as the most populous city in the country, accounting for approximately 33% of the overall population. In addition to its cultural and historical importance, Budapest is also considered one of the most significant economic centers in all of Europe. The city is widely known in the areas of banking, finance, real estate, trade, technology, fashion, and the arts. Budapest is one of the 25 most visited cities in the world, and tourism accounts for a large portion of the city's thriving economy, with the central area of the city along the Danube being classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Budapest has become a magnet for talented employees from across the world, and the city is home to headquarters for many internationally established brands, including IBM, Morgan Stanley, Citi, Tata Consultancy Services, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Nokia, Norvartis, and many more. There's never been a better time to start or advance your career while enjoying the sights, sounds, and tastes of this eclectic city.

Budapest is the proud home of over 35 colleges and universities. The Budapest University of Technology and Economics is the oldest institute of technology in the world, founded in 1782, and the Budapest Business School, established in 1857, is the first public business school in the world. Popular fields of study in Budapest include medicine, dentistry, engineering, veterinary medicine, and pharmaceuticals. The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music is also located in Budapest, and this center for music and music education houses a valuable collection of books and manuscripts donated by Franz Liszt.

There are several important architectural landmarks in Budapest, representing distinct styles across several time periods. Remains still exist from the Roman city of Aquincum, dating back to 89 AD, and there are several Gothic-style castles to be found in the Castle District. The Hungarian Parliament Building and the Matthias Church are examples of the Neo-Gothic style of architecture. Budapest is rich in Renaissance and Neo-Renaissance-style buildings, the most famous of which are the Hungarian State Opera House, St. Stephen's Basilica, and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Other styles of architecture include Classical, Neoclassical, and Art Nouveau, with examples scattered throughout this enchanting city.

Budapest is home to the largest medicinal bath in Europe and is beloved for its more than 80 geothermal springs, earning itself the nickname "Spa Capital" of Europe. Some of the most popular hot baths include Szechenyi, Gellert, and Rudas, and the hot water is enjoyed daily by locals and visitors alike for its natural healing properties, praised for reducing stress, arthritis, and joint problems.

For those looking to expand their cultural and historical knowledge, there are more than 220 museums in Budapest, including the Hungarian National Museum and the Hungarian National Gallery, located in Buda Castle, which boasts more than 100,000 pieces of European artwork. Other notable museums include the Kunsthalle, featuring contemporary art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, home to exhibitions of both international and Hungarian origin.

Enjoy the region's enviable food scene by savoring dishes such as goulash, chicken paprikash, Jokai bean soup, lecso, turos csusza, and thin, crepe-like pancakes known as palacsinta. Eating and drinking with friends in "ruin pubs" is a popular activity in Budapest, and these unpretentious spaces are located in formerly abandoned buildings, decorated with an eclectic mix of furniture and items not normally found in bars, including bathtubs, giant owls, and even cars. Consider visiting the well-known Szimpla Kert for an authentic ruin pub experience. During the day, many ruin pubs feature live music or theatrical experiences, or you might consider attending the Sziget music festival, one of the largest festivals of its kind in Europe. Whether you are taking a romantic evening cruise down the Danube, attending a concert, walking along a meandering old-world street, or enjoying the hot baths, Budapest truly has something for everyone.

Hugo has taught Graduate Record Examination (GRE) prep courses and private tutoring for Manhattan Review in the United States and Hungary since 2012. He moved to Budapest in 2016 after spending a semester there during his junior year of college at the University of California at Los Angeles. "I fell in love with Budapest almost as soon as I arrived for the fall semester," he recalls with a smile. "I hated to leave and told myself if I ever had the chance, I would come back." Upon graduation, Hugo accepted a position with an international company "mostly because they had an office in Budapest," he laughs.

Hugo's credentials as an instructor are impressive, as he boasts a bachelor's degree in history and a master's degree in comparative history from Georgetown University. Hugo participated in both group and individual tutoring during his time at university, and he credits the knowledge and support of his tutors in helping him achieve his academic goals. In fact, one of the reasons he became a tutor with Manhattan Review was so he could help other prospective students achieve their own university-related dreams. "Getting into a top-tier university is so competitive," he says. "Scores on tests like the GRE are becoming increasingly important, and I'm happy to share what I know to ensure students are as prepared as possible."

Hugo's students appreciate his thorough preparation and how he is able to break down even the most complex topic. When he isn't helping students master the GRE, he can be found jogging across the Chain Bridge as the morning sun rises, enjoying his girlfriend's homemade goulash, or playing guitar with friends on the balcony of his apartment.
