The city is divided into two towards the North-South direction by the Danube river, which represents a central asset for the city trade. On the left side of the river there is the Buda district, characterized by its 20 hills and its Castle. On the right bank of the river there is Pest, which is characterized by the majestic Parliament building. Buda is a residential district, while Pest is rich in commercial and industrial areas.
