Budapest is the capital and largest city of Hungary and its commercial, transport and cultural centre. Located on the famous Danube river, the Buda half of the city lies on the western bank while Pest(pronounced "Pesht") is located on the eastern bank. Once the second most important city in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a settlement history including Celts, Romans and Ottoman Turks, Budapest's landmarks bear testimony to its dramatically rich history. Sights that must be seen include the largest synagogue in Europe, the second largest baroque castle in the world, the third largest parliament building in the world, the third largest church in Europe and innumerable museums and beautiful palaces which can all be accessed via a reliable public transport system. Budapest is a great place to shop, so look out for the antiques and flea markets and make sure to visit the Great Market Hall and bring home some of the famous Hungarian paprika. April to October are the best months to visit!
