The capital has two sides, Buda and Pest, stretching along the banks of the Danube, representing two different characters of the city. Pest is completely flat, while Buda is a hilly area.The 19th-century Chain Bridge connects its hilly Buda district with flat Pest.
The Budapest you 'll see today is the result of many years of rich history.
Often described as the "Little Paris of Middle Europe", Budapest is famous not only for the monuments reflecting its own 1000-year-old culture, but also for the relics of others who settled here. Remains from both Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks can still be seen in the city. After the Ottoman Empire the union with Austria has a particular influence on the city's form and style.
