Magyar Matters Budapest again ranks second among best cities in the world For the third straight year, Budapest has been named the second best city in the world, according to a webbased survey organized by Conde Nast Traveller, a luxury and lifestyle travel magazine. "With some of the best Art Nouveau architecture in Europe, scenic Budapest has no bad angles," the magazine noted. The magazine encouraged visitors to "explore the Hungarian capital's spa culture with thermal baths built in the 16th and 17th century, and make sure to pay a visit to the ornate New York Kávéház for coffee and a pastry. Walk the Széchenyi Chain Bridge at night over the Danube River for magnificent views, and eat a bowl of traditional gulyás at the three-level Central Market before turning in for the night." Budapest fell just short of the number of votes for Florence, which topped the list of 25 cities. Budapest however came out ahead of Vienna, Sydney, Tokyo, London and Paris in the survey.
