A Tour of the Sights of Budapest 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. The city covers an area of 525 square kilometers (202.7 sq mi) within the city limits. It is also known as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The history of Budapest began with Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement that became the Roman capital of Pannónia Inferior. 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 in 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 of 1919, Operation Panzerfaust in 1944, the Battle of Budapest in 1945, and the Revolution of 1956. Budapest has 80 geothermal springs, the world’s largest thermal water cave system, the second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building. The city attracts about 4.3 million tourists a year, making it the 25th most popular city in the world to visit (and the 6th in Europe) according to Euromonitor. Considered a financial hub in Central Europe, the city ranked 3rd (out of 65 cities) on Mastercard’s Emerging Markets Index, and ranked as the most liveable Central and Eastern European city on EIU’s quality of life index. It is also ranked as “the world’s second best city” by Condé Nast Traveler, “Europe’s 7th most idyllic place to live” by Forbes, and as the 9th most beautiful city in the world by UCityGuides.

Ulf Spitzet said the company will make photos of all the 400 kms of Danube within Hungary and the service should be available in 2-3 months. Taking a virtual walk on the Danube will be easier than ever with Street View coming to Danube. Spitzer said, it is the first time that they installed their cameras on river boats, completing a project that stretches across several countries. The panoramas of Google have already been installed on cars, bikes and hikers, but boats are new. The camera will be put on the tourism ship Tauck, which usually roams between Bratislava and Cernavoda. Gábor Maráczi, strategic and marketing director of Magyar Tlirizmus Zrt. said at the press event that out of the tourism sectors of Hungary river shipping is the one with the most dynamic development. Budapest welcomes 350.000 tourists by boat every year, several companies use the capital of Hungary as a base of operations with offices, and destinations running to both north and south. (MTI) A.
