Why Budapest?

Budapest is a one of the famous city in Hungary, and seat of Pest megye . The city Budapest is the political, administrative, industrial, and commercial centre of Hungary. The site has been continuously settled since ancient times and is now the home of about one-fifth of the population. Once called the “Queen of the Danube,” This city has long been the centre of attraction of the nation and a lively cultural centre. The city straddles the Danube River in the magnificent natural setting where the hills of western Hungary meet the plains stretching to the east and south. It comprise of two parts, Buda and Pest, which are located on opposite sides of the river and connected by a series of bridges.

Even though the city’s roots date to Roman times and preliminary, modern Budapest is essentially an outgrowth of the 19th-century empire of Austria-Hungary, when Hungary was three times substantial than the present country. Hungary’s depletion in size following World War I did not prevent Budapest from fetching, after Berlin, the second largest city in central Europe. One out of five Hungarians at present lives in the capital, which, as the seat of government and the pivot of Hungarian transport and industry, dominates all aspects of national life. Tens of thousands of commuters converge on Budapest daily, more than half the country’s university students attend school in the city, and about half the country’s income from foreign tourism is earned there.
