We begin our series with a look at Hungary’s capital, Budapest. Budapest is cut by the Danube River into two distinct parts, like the rest of Hungary. To the right of the river is the province of Transdanubia with its gently undulating countryside; to the left lies the Plain stretching as far as the eye can see and beyond. In the same way, the old districts of Buda are found on the right bank of the Danube. Resembling the Transdanubian countryside in character, they are built on the Buda hills interspersed with valleys or flat areas opening to the north or south between the river and the mountains. In the center, nearly parallel with the course of the Danube, stands the plateau of Vár-hegy PITTSBURGH — Anyone wishing to join the fun and excitement aboard the William Penn Caribbean Cruise ’90 must send there reservation in as soon as possible.

Few cities can claim the advantages of both river and mountain, a long past and a living present. In addition, Budapest is the hub of Hungary’s political, economic and cultural life and a celebrated watering place. Historians trace Budapest’s beginnings beyond the first century A.D., when the Romans came and established their military camp of Aquincum. Since that time, the city has been held in turn by the Huns, Ostrogoths, Lombards, Avars, Monguls, Turks, Habsburgs, and Austrians. Finally, in 1867 the Austro- Hungarian Compromise took effect, and six years later, Pest, Buda and Óbuda (Old Buda) were combined to form what is now Budapest. Present-day Budapest is filled with reminders of its rich and colorful history. Its central location in Europe help makes Budapest one of the most exciting cities in the world.
