1 My home town is Budapest. It’s the capital of
Hungary, and it’s a very beautiful place. It is
actually two cities, Buda and Pest. They are
separated by the River Danube, which is one of the
longest rivers in Europe.
2 Budapest is in the centre of Europe, so it is not
dif cult to visit. There is an airport and you can
also get there very easily by train.
3 There are lots of museums and parks and the
opera building here is very famous. Outside the
city you can take an old-fashioned train into the
hills and forests.

4 Budapest is famous for its cafés. If you come here, then you must try the cakes. There are
hundreds of different types!
5 For me, the best thing in the city is the castle in Buda. From here, you can look down at the River
Danube and see the beautiful bridges and the Parliament building.
