Budapest is the capital of Hungary with nearly 2.000.000 inhabitants. It is divided into two parts by the river Danube. There are nine bridges over the river which connect the two sides. The most beautiful ones are Chain Bridge (Lánchíd), Elisabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd) and Liberty Bridge (Szabadság híd). One of the best places to walk around is the Castle District. There is a breath-taking view of the city from the Fisherman's Bastion. Across from the Fisherman's Bastion is Matthias Church named after the Hungarian King Matthias. In the Castle District you can find the Sándor Palace, the residence and workplace of the Head of the State. Budapest is richly endowed with natural springs of thermal waters possessing various medicinal properties (Gellért Baths and Hotel, Széchenyi Baths, Lukács Medicinal Baths etc.). The largest building in the country is the building of the Hungarian Parliament, which is situated on the bank of the Danube. The Neo-Gothic building complex was built between 1884 and 1904 according to the plans of Imre Steindl. There are many other sights in Budapest, just like Heroes' Square, St. Stephen's Basilica, Andrássy Avenue, Margaret-island, Gellért Hill and the Citadell etc. For more information about Budapest, please visit the http://www.budapestinfo.hu/ home page.
