Budapest, the capital of Hungary, sits on the banks of the Danube River. Originally two separate cities facing each other across the river, it expanded over centuries and was formally unified in 1873 by combining Buda and Óbuda on the western bank of the Danube with Pest on the eastern bank. As Hungary’s principal political, commercial and transportation hub as well as its largest city, Budapest ranks the seventh biggest city in the European Union and serves as a key transit hub in Eastern Europe. Known as the "Paris of Eastern Europe" and the "Pearl of the Danube", it boasts its most iconic landmarks along the Danube River. Buda is built on the rocky southern bank while Pest lies on the flat northern plain. On the steep rocky hills of Buda to the west stand the Liberty Statue and the historic Buda Castle.
