Budapest, Hungary
Budapest, the capital and largest city of Hungary, is located in Central Europe along the Danube River. The city is classified as a global city and a significant cultural, economic, and transportation hub in the region. It is situated in the country's central part, where the Danube River divides into two sections: Buda on the west bank and Pest on the east bank.
Budapest has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, with archaeological evidence showing human habitation in the area since ancient times. The city was officially formed in 1873 through the merger of three cities: Buda, Pest, and Óbuda. This unification created a single, large urban center that has since grown into a thriving metropolis.
The city is renowned for its stunning architecture, thermal baths, and cultural landmarks. One of its most notable features is the Parliament Building, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and iconic symbol of Hungarian politics. Budapest is also home to numerous historical sites, such as Buda Castle, St. Stephen's Basilica, and the Széchenyi Thermal Bath.
Budapest plays a significant role in Hungarian politics, economy, and culture, attracting millions of tourists each year. The city hosts various international events, including cultural festivals and sporting competitions. Its unique blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty makes it a popular destination for travelers.
