Budapest is divided by the Danube into the hilly Buda side and the flat Pest side. The two sides of the city are quite different from each other, yet they both have their own beauty and special attractions. We can not forget the bridges that cross the river, which not only connect the two parts of the city, but also offer some spectacular night-time lighting.
When a river splits a city, it is undoubtedly the most significant structural element in the fabric of the city. It is a basic geographical factor that has been determining settlements since ancient times. It meant contact withother settlements, with other peoples. It has shaped and shaped our consciousness and our history. It is a vital, useful and increasingly symbolic stream of a city.
Budapest's fate boils down to the river. With the growth of the urban population and the construction of bridges, neighborhoods were connected, sometimes (as in the case of Budapest) cities were merged. We are no longer in direct contact with the Danube, but its importance as a cityscape came first. Representative public buildings and palaces were built along the coast or on the islands. Tree-lined corridors have been created to worship the panorama and to walk the lovers here instead of the crowded downtown.
Many hotels in Budapest take advantage of these special features and offer their guests a unique view.
