Budapest is the capital city of Hungary, it is home to a population of 1.8 million people approximately one fifth of the country's population and it possesses a rich and fascinating history. Budapest was created out of the unification in 1873 of two separate towns Buda and Pest which are divided by the beautiful winding River Danube, the City it is often referred to as the 'Pearl of the Danube'. Most of the Churches, Palaces and hotels are to be found in Buda on the west bank of the Danube and clubs, bars and nightlife are in Pest on the east bank.
Budapest is located in the Northern centre of Hungary and covers an area of two hundred square miles, divided into 23 administrative districts referred to in roman numerals, each with its own local government. Each district can be associated with one or more city parts named after former towns within Budapest. The districts are numbered clockwise, in widening circles and the middle two numbers in a mailing zip code indicate the district number.
One of the special things about Budapest are the thermal springs, sometimes Budapest is also known as the 'City of Spas' as there are a dozen thermal bath complexes served by over a hundred natural thermal springs. The Spas have a unique atmosphere and are said to have healing powers, the Szechenyi Spa situated in the City Park is the largest bath in Europe and consists of and in-door and open air part, whilst the Gellert Spa is one of the best known and popular thermal baths.
