Budapest, on the Danube, is split into hilly Buda and busier Pest, joined by bridges. Hot springs feed thermal baths, and Szechenyi Spa has huge outdoor pools used even in winter. The Parliament Building stands on the river. The Royal Palace and Fisherman's Bastion sit on Buda's hills.
Goulash is a beef stew with paprika, and chimney cake is a sweet spiral pastry. Folk music with violins and traditional dances are still performed. Mongol invasions, Ottoman rule, and Habsburg rule all shaped the country. Chess, mathematics, and science are well-known strengths.
