Budapest — Pearl of the Danube
Budapest, the capital and largest city of Hungary with approximately 1.7 million inhabitants, straddles the River Danube across two historically distinct halves: hilly Buda on the west bank and flat, vibrant Pest on the east. United in 1873, the city has grown into one of Europe's most beautiful capitals, its Banks of the Danube, Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue forming a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
The city is defined by its extraordinary architectural heritage — the Hungarian Parliament Building, the largest in Europe when completed in 1902; the Chain Bridge, Budapest's oldest and most iconic crossing; the Buda Castle complex on its limestone hill; and the ornate Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church overlooking the Danube. Budapest is also the thermal spa capital of Europe, sitting on more than 100 natural hot springs.
"Budapest splits the world into two halves — the Danube and everything else. Buda's castle-crowned hills reflected in the river, Pest's grand boulevards stretching east to the horizon, nine bridges linking two cities that were always one. The Pearl of the Danube earns its name at every hour of the day."
