The capital city of Hungary and situated on the Danube river, Budapest, was created out of the unification of the separate historic towns of Buda, Pest and Óbuda in 1873. Budapest is one of the finest capital cities in Europe, and has several ares classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The first were the Danube panorama (on the Buda side from the Gellért Hotel all along Castle Hill to Margaret Bridge, and on the Pest side from the Parliament back down to Petőfi Bridge), and Andrássy út (along its entire length from the centre of Pest to Heroes' Square, where the Millenary Monument stands on the edge of the City Park). Budapest has good facilities to host conferences and to serve as a destination of incentive trips. The central location of the country makes Hungary easily accessible. Budapest Ferihegy International Airport is located approximately 28 km from the city and has direct connections to most major cities in Europe. Thermal waters, historical spas and luxurious wellness services could complement a variety of conferences and congresses in Budapest. There are 14 five star and 44 four star hotels in Budapest.
