Detailed answer to the quiz question

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is located on the Danube river. With a length of around 2,850 kilometers, the Danube is the second longest river in Europe and crosses a total of ten countries. In Budapest, it divides the city into two historical parts: Buda in the west and Pest in the east. Numerous bridges, including the famous Chain Bridge, connect the two banks.

The Danube not only shapes the cityscape, but also plays an important role in the economy, tourism and shipping. The impressive panorama along the river is particularly well-known, with buildings such as the Hungarian Parliament, the Castle Palace and the Fishermen’s Bastion, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
