Budapest is the capital and the largest city of Hungary, and one of the largest cities in the European Union. It is the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation center, sometimes described as the primate city of Hungary. According to the census, in 2011 Budapest had 1.74 million inhabitants, down from its 1989 peak of 2.1 million due to suburbanisation. The Budapest Metropolitan Area is home to 3.3 million people. The city covers an area of 525 square kilometers (203 sq mi). Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the unification of Buda and Óbuda on the west bank, with Pest on the east bank on 17 November 1873.
The history of Budapest began with Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement that became the Roman capital of Lower Pannonia. After the peace treaty of 829 added Pannonia to Bulgaria following the Bulgarian victory under Omurtag over the Holy Roman Empire under Louis the Pious, Budapest, as it's named today, arose in the 9th century out of two new Bulgarian military frontier fortresses and settlements Buda and Pest, situated on the two banks of the Danube. Hungarians arrived in the territory in the 9th century. Their first settlement was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. The re-established town became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács and nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule, the region entered a new age of prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Budapest became a global city after its unification in 1873. It also became the second capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. Budapest was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the Hungarian Republic of Councils in 1919, the Battle of Budapest in 1945, and the Revolution of 1956.
Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest's extensive World Heritage Site includes the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes' Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, the second-oldest metro line in the world. It has around 80 geothermal springs,] the world's largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building. The city attracts about 4.4 million tourists a year, making it the 25th most popular city in the world, and the 6th in Europe, according to Euromonitor.
Considered a financial hub in Central Europe, the city ranked third on Mastercard's Emerging Markets Index, and ranked as the most liveable Central or Eastern European city on EIU's quality of life index. It has also been ranked as the world's second best city by Condé Nast Traveler, and Europe's 7th most idyllic place to live by Forbes.] It is the highest ranked Central/Eastern European city on Innovation Cities' Top 100 index.

Budapest ist die Hauptstadt und zugleich größte Stadt Ungarns. Mit über 1,7 Millionen Einwohnern ist Budapest die zehntgrößte Stadt der Europäischen Union. Laut dem britischen Marktforschungsunternehmen Euromonitor International gehört sie zu den zwanzig am häufigsten von Touristen besuchten Städten Europas. Die Einheitsgemeinde Budapest entstand 1873 durch die Zusammenlegung der zuvor selbstständigen Städte Buda, Óbuda, beide westlich der Donau, und Pest östlich der Donau. Der Name Budapest selbst tauchte zuvor nicht auf, üblich im Sprachgebrauch war Pest-Buda.
Budapest liegt an der Donau, die an dieser Stelle das ungarische Mittelgebirge verlässt und in das ungarische Tiefland fließt. Die höchste Erhebung in Budapest ist der zu den Budaer Bergen zählende 527 Meter hohe János-Berg. Weitere Budaer Berge sind der Gellértberg, der Burgberg, der Rosenhügel, der Sonnenberg, der Adlerberg, der Martinsberg, der Schwabenberg und der Széchenyiberg. Geotektonisch gesehen liegt die Stadt auf einer Bruchstelle, deshalb ist besonders Buda so reich an Thermalquellen.
Budapests Geschichte beginnt um 89 mit der Gründung eines römischen Militärlagers in ehemals vom keltischen Stamm der Eravisker besiedeltem Gebiet.

11 Most Amazing Festivals In The World
From around the world visit the top 11 most incredible festivals from the insane Mardi Gras to the beautiful lantern festival in China
Subscribe to Hectic Express
6. Burning Man
This festival is held in the middle of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. It’s described as an art festival that examines various forms of artistic self-expression. There is a theme given every year and the community is encouraged to submit art to the event which can include experimental sculpture, buildings, performance, and art cars. The event is named for the symbolic burning of a wooden effigy or The Man. Attendance in the event increases yearly with 70000 tickets selling out in 2015. The event is orchestrated by a non-profit organization called the Burning Man Project. The largest burning effigy was made in 2014 and it measured in at 105 feet.
5. La Tomatina
It’s no secret that Europeans love tomatoes. They put them in almost every food that they make. La Tomatina shows that love visually in the most fun way possible. The festival is just one giant tomato fight that the entire town of Bunol in Valencia engages in. It’s been held annually on the last Wednesday of August since 1945. It’s actually a part of a whole week of festivities but, La Tomatina is definitely the highlight. It’s not clear how the tradition started but, the event has been fun enough that it has been done year after year. One of the rules is that you have to squash the tomatoes before you throw them so no one is being hit with a underripe tomato. There is also an entry fee now because of the popularity of the event and so that they can control the number of people coming so they can ensure the safety of participants. It’s estimated that nearly 320,000 pounds of tomatoes are used every year.
4. Mohacsi Busojaras
This festival takes place in Hungary in the town of Mohacs. It’s held at the end of Carnival to the day before Ash Wednesday. The festival sees hundreds of people dressed as Busos which are traditional Hungary masks. The festival has folk music, masquerading, parades, and dancing. There are two legends about how this festival started. One states that the weapons that the costumed Busos carry was once used to scare off occupying Turks so that they could take back their town. That legend is the most popular. The second legend says that their masks aren’t used to scare off the Turks but, to scare off winter itself.
3. Rouketopolemos Rocket War
This visually stunning event happens every year on Easter in the Greek town of Vrontados. The event arose thanks to the greek tradition of throwing fireworks at midnight before Easter Sunday. There are two churches in Vrontados and the locals from each church fire rockets up to 1300 feet away at their rival church in an attempt to hit the church's bell. The rockets are homemade and they are made of an explosive mixture containing gunpowder. All of the buildings are boarded up with metal sheets and mesh to protect against the rockets. Every year it is said that each church counts the number of times that the bell at the top of their bell tower was rung and they determine a winner on Easter Day. They’ve never actually had a winner. So the event will continue to happen year after year. They are not sure how this tradition started but, locals say it goes back to the Ottoman era when they used real cannons.
2. Mardi Gras
This festival is actually a part of Carnival but, let’s not be mistaken, when someone talks about Mardi Gras, the festival in New Orleans is its very own holiday. The holiday that encourages debauchery is the perfect fit for the city that is synonymous with it. Mardi Gras isn’t celebrated throughout the United States because, the country doesn’t have a large Catholic populous but, the Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a result of its French roots. The first Mardi Gras in New Orleans happened in 1699 and the place that it was held has since been named Point du Mardi Gras or Mardi Gras Point in English. There are other Mardi Gras parties across the world but, they don’t hold a candle to the New Orleans staple.
1.Holi Festival of Colors
Holi is a spring festival that started in India and Nepal but has spread in popularity to other parts of the world. The festival is actually an ancient Hindu festival that has quite a bit of significance within the Hindu religion. In parts of Asia and North America, the Hindu meaning has been taken out of the festival and instead it is meant to represent love, frolic, and colors. Traditional Holi starts with religious rituals done in front of a bonfire. It’s a two-day festival starting with Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi and then the second day is Rangwali Holi. The participants in the festival carry dried color powder and colored water and anyone in attendance is fair game. There are also groups that carry drums and other musical instruments and go around the crowd to sing and dance. The festival is meant to signify the victory of good over evil.

Entry from: Mohacs, Hungary
Entry Title: Hungary and Slovakia
Entry:
We have spent the past 10 days cycling throughout Hungary and Slovakia. The Danube River is the border between these two countries, so we could be in either country, depending on which side of the river we are cycling on. We stayed mostly on the Hungarian side as we felt that country had more towns and sites to see. We developed somewhat of a love-hate relationship with Hungary -- it provided us with some of our best experiences... and some of our worst.
The first full day of cycling in Hungary proved somewhat disappointing. When we first crossed over the border we were impressed with their signage (at least we KNEW we were in Hungary - unlike when we entered Austria). They also had a big bulletin board displaying all the (EuroVelo) cycling routes in Europe. I thought this was a country that really cared how its cyclists travelled -- we soon found out how wrong we were! The cycling paths were mostly loose gravel and when we cycled on the roads, they were full of potholes -- the only passable part of the road was in the very middle. Visions of broken spokes, bent rims and flat tires entered our minds (Well, at least Ed's). Fortunately, none of those things happened.
The next day, we left the city of Gyor and followed the route as indicated on our cycling map -- another logistical error! Once again the roads were full of potholes and at one point, we were cycling on trails full of mud and water everywhere -- the worst bike trails we've experienced yet!
But maybe Hungary had bigger things to worry about than a couple of cyclists from Canada. When we arrived at a small town called Bony, we encountered our first roadblock due to heavy flooding. Luckily, they allowed bicycles through, but cars were not permitted. As we cycled by, we could see the houses and fences with sandbags stacked around them. (We later found out that further north, in Poland, they were hit the hardest with severe flooding).
In Germany and Austria, the cycling paths not only had the signs stating what path you were on, they also had signs indicating how far away the next town is and in which direction. Hungary had very few signs like that so it is a lot easier to get lost. In Acs, we stopped for lunch and then continued on our way. We followed the cycling signs as we had been conditioned to do in Germany and Austria. Both of us had a feeling that we were going in the wrong direction but we weren't sure. Twenty minutes later, we stopped again -- the bike path was becoming more like a seldom-used narrow hiking trail. Luckily, a farmer came along -- we stopped him and he showed us on the map where we were -- we were to the WEST of Acs and we were supposed to be going EAST!! We lost about an hour with that little detour! What was really funny was when we got back to the beginning of where we strayed off the trail, another couple was there, wondering which way to go! They had followed the signs, just like us. They said they had got lost earlier in the day, too. So the four of us continued on our way -- went back into Acs and went east from there.
We only went a few blocks when we encountered another roadblock. The official was giving out leaflets informing us that the road we wanted to use had been washed away and we had to take the main highway (which cyclists are ...
