As one of the most popular Red Bull Air Race stops, the Hungarian capital always pulls in a monumental crowd. Take 2009, for example, when 650,000 spectators lined the banks of the Danube.

Then, in the 2015 race season, when the city earned a spot once again, fans returned in their thousands to witness the spectacle. For this season, it'll be a yet another summertime spectacle as the pilots head to Hungary in June.

Split across the Danube, it's a city of two halves – Buda and Pest. The iconic backdrop of the neogothic Parliament building on the Pest side of the river offers fans a stunning panoramic view of the action.

On the Buda side of the city, you'll find the Statue of Liberty, on top of Gellért Hill, along with the Citadel. This is why Budapest is regularly featured in the Top 10 list of World's Best Cities.

Date and time: 23 June 8:00 to 24 June 17:00
