The city of Budapest is divided in two parts, the hilly side of Buda to the west and the flat plain of Pest on the eastern bank of the river Danube. They were once separate towns but were merged together in 1873. The city centre starts on Vörösmarty Square. Váci Street, the pedestrian main street of downtown Budapest, sets out from here. In the Buda side of city you can find the Buda Castle and the historical quarter full of sites. The most exiting way of getting to the Castle is by taking the Funicular, a little cable car up the Castle Hill. The range of cultural events is huge. There are theatrical performances and concerts of classical and light music every day, with both Hungarian artists and guests from all over the world.
