Budapest
Budapest is the capital city of Hungary. As the largest city of Hungary it serves as the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial and transportation center. In 2007 Budapest had 1,696,128 inhabitants with an official agglomeration of 2,451,418 , down from a mid-1980s peak of 2.1 million. The city covers an area of 525 square kilometres (202.7 sq mi) within city limits. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the unification on 17 November 1873 of right-bank (west) Buda and Óbuda (Old Buda) together with Pest on the left (east) bank.
Budapest lies in central Hungary. The Danube is nearly 1 km (0.6 mi) wide when entering the city. The river later encircles two islands, Óbuda Island and Margaret Island. The river that separates the two parts of the city is only 230 m (750 ft) wide at its narrowest point in Budapest. Pest lies on the flat terrain of the Great Plain while Buda is rather hilly.
