Budapest, the capital of Hungary and the country's political, economic and cultural center, is located on both sides of the Danube River and is known as the "Pearl of the Danube". This ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years, consisting of Buda (mountains) and Pest (plains), was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 199. Famous sights include the Gothic Buda Castle, the Neo-Renaissance Parliament building (the second largest parliamentary building in Europe), the White Fisherman's Castle, and the Széchenyi Thermal Baths (one of the largest spa complexes in Europe). As the former capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Budapest is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Central Europe, with its blend of Baroque and neo-classical architectural styles, and its view of the Danube River from the Elisabeth Bridge, which attracts millions of tourists every year.
