Budapest has a population of over two million people. One in every five Hungarians lives there. The River Danube divides the city into two parts. On the west bank there are the woods and hills of Buda and the old town. On the east bank there is the bigger and more modern Pest, the business and shopping center. From Buda there are wonderful views of Pest and the river. Six bridges join Buda and Pest. For nearly a thousand years, Buda and Pest were two towns. Then in 1873 they joined and became one city, Budapest. Soon it became one of the most important cultural capitals of Europe. Budapest is very unusual because it has two completely different parts. You can choose the peace and quiet of Buda's woods or the excitement of Pest, where there are good theatres, restaurants, bars and shops. The public transport system in Budapest is one of the best and cheapest in the world. You can travel easily by underground, bus, tram, and taxi, but driving a car in Budapest is not a good idea.
