Budapest Xperience

Budapest is the capital of the Republic of Hungary. It is not the capital of France or Europe, and they do not speak french here, they speak hungarian.

Budapest is located in Central Europe, it borders seven nations making this a strategic city and country.

Budapest lies in central Hungary. The Danube enters the city from the north; later it encircles two islands, Óbuda Island and Margaret Island. The river that separates the two parts of the city is only 230 m (755 ft) wide at its narrowest point in Budapest.

Pest lies on the flat terrain of the Great Plain while Buda is rather hilly. Pest’s terrain rises with a slight eastward gradient, so the easternmost parts of the city lie at the same altitude as Buda’s smallest hills, notably Gellért Hill and Castle Hill.

The Buda hills consist mainly of limestone and dolomite, the water created speleothems, the most famous ones being the Pálvölgyi cave and the Szemlőhegyi cave. The hills were formed in the Triassic Era. The highest point of the hills and of Budapest is János hill, at 527 meters above sea level.

The forests of Buda hills are environmentally protected.
