About Budapest

Budapest, Hungary's capital with a population of over 1.7 million. The city is bisected by the River Danube. Its 19th-century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest.

A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda's Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from Roman times onward. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen's Bastion, which offer sweeping views.
