About Budapest

Budapest is the capital and largest city of Hungary. The capital of Hungary is situated along the Danube, in the heart of the Carpathian basin. The geology of Budapest has played a determining role in the city’s life over the course of history. Hot springs breaking through limestone mountains supplying water of 35-76 degrees centigrade gave rise to a flourishing culture of spas in the Roman Age and made Budapest one of the most popular spa cities of Europe.

The cultural life of Budapest would be inconceivable without buoyant nights in the theater. Many of the renowned old theaters have been remodeled over the past few years including the Operetta Theater and Thalia Theater. In 2002 the National Theater, demolished in the 1960’s, was rebuilt on a new site. Szabó Ervin Central Public Library had also undergone spectacular renewal and expansion which was accomplished in 2001, making it one of the largest and most moderns public libraries in Central Europe. Renewal of the network of branches has also been started recently
