Sefa Study Trip 2012: Budapest

The Sefa Study Trip committee is proud to announce that this year the Sefa Study Trip will go to Budapest. 
The trip takes place from the 17th to the 23rd of April. During these days we will see everything Budapest has to offer. We will visit companies and universities, but also explore the local culture and nightlife.

Why Budapest?

Budapest is one of the economic and financial hubs of the Central Europe region. The metropolitan area is home to more than 3 million people and nearly all types of industry. The city was also ranked as the most livable Central/Eastern European city by the Economist.

The history of Budapest dates back to 1AD, when the Celts established a first settlement there. About 100 years later the Romans occupied the area and it became the capital of the Roman Lower Pannonia Province. In the 15th century it became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture. After unification in the 19th century Budapest became the second capital of Austria-Hungary and a truly global city. It is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and is home to the second oldest subway, second largest synagogue and third largest Parliament building in the world.
