Budapest

Budapest – the capital and largest city of Hungary. The population of Budapest is 1.7 million people, the number of inhabitants is the ninth city in the European Union. The city is located on both sides of the deep river Danube and is deservedly considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Description Budapest

Budapest emerged on the world map long ago – his appearance was the result of a merger of three large cities (Buda, ?buda and Pest), in 1873. So on the banks of the Danube there was a real jewel – the capital, which knows no equal in the Eastern Europe, the beauty and richness of architecture. However, to this day the different parts of the city are striking in their otherness – wander the hillsides streets of old Buda, in stark contrast to the modern boulevards of Pest, dressed in luxury shops and shopping malls.
Unique appearance Budapest owes scenic area in which it is located. Wide Danube, which is spanned by some amazing beautiful bridges, divides the city into two large historical pieces. On the one hand – the hilly Buda, easily recognizable by textured medieval buildings, led by the Royal Palace and the white towers of Fisherman’s Bastion. From the windows of the Royal Palace offers a striking view of the Danube and other parts of the city – the modern Pest, today became the center of cultural, economic and political life of the capital of Hungary.

The waters of the Danube River within the boundaries of Budapest, washes the shores of the seven islands, of which the most famous Margaret Island – like a green oasis in the midst of the silver waters of the Danube, he attracts tourists and lovers of leisurely walks in the shade of the trees. The island is a large botanical garden and the ruins of the Dominican convent.
But facing Margaret Island, on the west bank of the river, it is the oldest part of the city – Obuda. The past here is reminiscent of everything – the streets, the buildings, the ruins of ancient Roman temples and amphitheatres.
Incidentally, Budapest is the only capital in Europe, which granted the status of the resort – thanks to the numerous hot springs town found a great place for rest and recuperation.
