Closer view of the Parliament Building on the Pest side of the Danube River in Hungary. Construction began in 1885 but was not completed until 1904.
The Danube River divides Budapest, the capital of Hungary, into two parts, one called Buda and the other called Pest. Eight bridges connect the city’s halves, including the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, which is the oldest and most iconic. Opened on 20 November 1849, the bridge was destroyed in 1945 during World War II, then reconstructed and reopened on 20 November 1949 -- exactly 100 years after its original inauguration. Budapest became a UNESCO site in 1987 and is considered one of the world's outstanding urban landscapes.
