… shopping and and business area, close to restaurants, offices, banks and night-spots. Strictly speaking, the story of Budapest begins in 1873 when hilly, residential Buda and historic Óbuda on the western bank of the Danube River merged with flat, industrial Pest on the east to form what was at first called Pest-Buda. The capital of Hungary Budapest is situated along the Danube, in the heart of the Carpathian basin. Hilly Buda, which comprises one-third of the city?s area of 525 km? is located along the right bank of the Danube surrounded by low mountains. János Hill, with its 529 metres is the highest summit of Buda. Across the river sprawls flat Pest. 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. Budapest is dynamic, but also very attractive. Its geographical features - the Buda hills, the Danube and its bridges, the historical and new buildings - and the atmosphere of the city are attractions that draw many tourists from around the world. The Atrium Budapest Hotel is a meeting point for East and West, past and present. This ten-storey deluxe hotel is situated on the bank of the Danube River, which connects eight European countries.
