Budapest, the capital of Hungary and the “Queen of the Danube,” is a city full of charm, history, and striking contrasts. Built along the banks of the Danube River, it is divided into two historic districts: Buda, with its hills, palaces, and old town, and Pest, known for its cafés, museums, and shopping streets.
