Budapest (pronounced {{IPA|}}) is the capital city of Hungary and the country's principal political, industrial, commercial and transportation centre. It has more than 1.9 million inhabitants, down from a mid-1980s peak of 2.07 million. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the amalgamation in 1873 of right-bank Buda (Ofen in German) and Óbuda (Old Buda or Alt-Ofen) together with Pest on the left (east) bank. It is the sixth largest city in the European Union.
