Budapest is the capital of Hungary and the largest city in the country. It was created in 1873 as a result of the unification of three cities - Pest, Buda and Óbuda. Buda means house, building, settlement (in another version - water), and Pest means stove, fireplace. Back in the I century BC, a Celtic settlement existed on this site, and in 895 Hungarian tribes appeared. According to the 2017 census, approximately 1 million 800 thousand people live in Budapest. The climate is temperate continental. Winters are short and warm, summers are relatively long and hot, but without extreme temperatures. The Danube River flows through the city.
