The capital of Hungary, Budapest, is often called 'the pearl of the Danube'. The Danube flows through the city and divides it into two parts. Only in the 19th century the bridge, which connected Buda and Pest was built. So this way the name 'Budapest' was created. Nowadays is a marvelous city with a lot of historical buildings, beautiful squares, cozy parks and interesting museums. But most of all, the city is famous for its bathhouses.
