Iconic Budapest Landmark Takes 5th Place in World’s Most Beautiful Panoramas Ranking
The world is full of iconic vistas and landscapes, from rolling hills to dense concrete jungles. Buildworld has sifted through Tripadvisor user reviews and mapped the landmarks and structures with the most stunning views in every country – turizmus.com reports.

The rankings were based on the number of times the phrase “beautiful views” appeared in the reviews, TimeOut wrote based on Buildworld’s survey.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Eiffel Tower in Paris came top for its 360-degree bird’s-eye view. In second place was the Empire State Building in New York, and in third place was the Sacré Cœur Basilica in Paris.

The Fishermen’s Bastion (Halászbástya) in Budapest is among those making the top 10, taking fifth place in the world’s most beautiful panoramas with its spectacular views.

There are lesser-known sights that made the top 10, such as the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Arizona and the Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavik. In Asia and the Middle East, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai offers the best views, based on a combination of user reviews.

For ref, here is the list of the world’s top 10 sights with the most beautiful panoramic views:

1. Eiffel Tower, Paris
2. Empire State Building, New York
3. Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montma­rtre, Paris, France

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
