Budapest: The Pearl of the Danube
Rose-tinted sunsets and shadowed romance reflect on the Danube, mirroring this city, Budapest, which has been called "Paris of Eastern Europe" and "The Pearl of the Danube."
The home of two million of the nation’s 10 million people, Budapest is the center of Hungary’s culture, science, industry and government. Consisting of 27 districts, it takes in three basic areas: Buda (including Gellért Hill and Castle Hill), Pest (including District 5 – also known as the Belváros, and City Park), and Óbuda (Roman ruins). Before Christ, fearsome Celts occupied Gellért Hill, the central mountain that rises from the Buda shores of the city on the Danube (site of the Citadel, Freedom Statue, lookout points, winding paths and bathhouses).
