Budapest

 

National Capital, Hungary

 

Budapest is Hungary's capital and most populated city. The city serves as Hungary's political, administrative, industrial, and commercial hub. Budapest, which is both a city and a county, is the heart of the Budapest metropolitan region, which is home to 33 percent of Hungary's population. By population, it is the ninth-largest city in the European Union. Hungary became a democratic parliamentary republic on October 23, 1989. Hungary became a member of the European Union in 2004 and of the Schengen Area in 2007. Budapest, once known as the "Queen of the Danube," has long served as the country's focal point and a thriving cultural centre. The city spans the Danube (Hungarian: Duna) River in a spectacular natural environment where western Hungary's highlands meet the plains flowing east and south. Buda and Pest, which lie on opposite sides of the river and joined by a network of bridges, make up the city. Budapest is known for its diverse culture, underground caves, the powerful Danube River, and its status as the World Spa Capital. Budapest is also recognised for its world-famous Ruin Bars, stunning Parliament Building, and wonderful local delicacies. The tap water in Budapest is nutritious and safe to drink.

 

Roman Catholicism is the most widely practised religion in the country (37.2 percent ), 11.6 percent of the remaining population is Calvinist, 2.2 percent is Lutheran, 1.8 percent is Greek Catholic, and 1.9 percent is unaffiliated. Hungarians are thought to be quiet and introverted. They are generally nice, polite, and open-minded, but they are difficult to approach. They are also very forthright and rarely hide their dissatisfaction. Hungary is a highly safe place to visit. Pickpockets and scammers should be your first concern when visiting Hungary. If you follow simple safety precautions, you should be able to reduce the chances of things going wrong. Hungary and sections of numerous neighbouring countries speak Hungarian, a Uralic language. It is Hungary's official language and one of the European Union's 24 official languages. Since August 1946, the Hungarian forint (HUF) has been the country's official currency. It was called after the city of Florence, which had been minting golden coins since 1252. There are six different coins in circulation: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 forints. Hungary is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in the Central European Time (CET) zone (UTC). Daylight Saving Time is observed in Hungary (DST). Budapest's climate is a transitional zone between the harsh circumstances of the Great Alfold and the more temperate temperature of Transdanubia, which receives a lot of rain.
