Unofficially, the inhabitants of Budapest use the historical name of the districts. These names are often associated with the first names of members of the House of Habsburg or in the suburbs, the names of villages or cities that later became part of Budapest. The most interesting areas are Belvaros and Lipotváros, which together form the Belvaros district in the heart of Pest. This area includes some of the main attractions as well as beautiful squares and cafes. With a parliament, several ministries and bank branches, Lipótváros is the political and business center of the country.

The first settlement on the territory of Budapest belongs to the Celtic tribes. During the first century AD, the Roman fortification in what is now Odud gradually developed and formed the city of Aquincum, which became the capital of the province of Pannonia Inferior. The Romans also established a fortress known as the name of Contra Aquincum on the other side of the river, which later created the city of Pest. The Huns were a confederation different peoples and the nomadic tribes that inhabited the Eurasian steppe rather than the Magyars, but Attila, king of the Huns, is nevertheless considered a national hero, and Attila is a fairly common name in Hungary.

When the Magyar tribes arrived on horseback in the Carpathian Basin in 896, Obuda was the site of a confederation of the Magyar tribes towards Prince Arpad.

Medieval Hungary reached its peak in the reign of Matthias Corvinus, a master of the Renaissance in Hungary, whose patronage of the arts and sciences made the country a remarkable power at the time. adopted the renaissance from Italy.

The city is thriving in terms of industrialization, urbanization and economic development by the rapid growth of its population.

Neither the Habsburg Empire nor Hungary survived the First world war in its former form, turning Budapest into the capital of Hungary, formally independent, but losing two-thirds of its territory, and most of her as well as several million Hungarian speakers in favor of neighboring countries.

Many locals came to the aid of the local Jewish community, including Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who arranged for his embassy to distribute Swedish passports to as many Jews as possible, and Italian Giorgio Perlasca, who claims to be a Spanish diplomat, saved thousands of Jews.

The momentum for reform was swept away by Khrushchev's Soviet invasion, fearing that Hungary would escape control of Moscow. However, in last years the resurgence of nationalism was not directly visible to most ordinary tourists. Winter can be cold and there is little sunshine.

The spring months have variable conditions, with a rapid increase in average temperature. The weather in late March and April is often very pleasant during the day but cool at night. The long Budapest summer, which starts in May and lasts until mid-September, is warm to very warm. So many in Budapest summer sun like many Mediterranean seaside resorts.
