Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian State Opera House
More-beautiful but smaller-than-the-Viennese Opera.
From the CommunityBudapest
Two separate cities known as Buda and Pest were once divided by the Danube River until 1873 when a bridge was built over the watery passage and the neighboring cities effectively melded together to create the modern-day Budapest. Currently home to one-fifth of Hungary’s population, Budapest is not only the capital but also the most populous city in the country. Designated as the seat of government and the center of all Hungarian transport and industry, what happens in Budapest dominates all aspects of National life. To contrast the fast-pace life of the city, Budapest is also notable for its sheer number of spas and historic thermal baths that offer residents a traditional release to the hustle of city living.
