P68 - Hungary - Budapest


Budapest, Hungary ( UNESCO WHS )



Budapest is the capital city of Hungary. As the largest city of Hungary, it serves as the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation center and is considered an important hub in Central Europe. In 2008, Budapest had 1,702,297 inhabitants, down from a mid-1980s peak of 2.1 million, with an official agglomeration of 2,451,418. The city covers an area of 525 square kilometres (202.7 sq mi)within the city limits. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the unification on 17 November 1873, of right-bank (west) Buda and Óbuda (Old Buda) together with Pest on the left (east) bank.

The Castle Hill, the River Danube embankments and the whole of Andrássy út have been officially recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.


布達佩斯是匈牙利首都,也是该国主要的政治、商業、運輸中心和最大的城市,也被認為是中歐一個重要的中繼站。布達佩斯的人口在1980年代中期曾达到高峰207万(布達佩斯都會區人口達到2,451,418人),目前僅有約170萬居民,它是欧洲联盟第七大城市。该市是在1873年由位于多瑙河右岸(西岸)的城市布達和古布達以及左岸(東岸)城市佩斯合并而成的。此前没有布达佩斯这个称呼,过去人们一般将它称为佩斯-布达(Pest-Buda)。

布达佩斯最重要的名胜都位于多瑙河畔。在西岸布达一边岩石陡峭的山上树立着自由碑和城堡。山下有布达佩斯温泉浴,其下游是布达佩斯技术和经济大学的主楼。城堡的北面的山上有布达皇宫。今天皇宫里是国家图书馆、匈牙利国家画廊和市博物馆。皇宫边的桑多尔宫是匈牙利总统的驻地。

山北树立着马加什教堂,它与多瑙河之间是漁人堡。整个这个皇宫区以及多瑙河畔的景色从1987年开始被世界教科文组织列入世界遗产。
