Beneath Budapest's poignant sky, the Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial tells a somber tale of sacrifice. Facing the flowing Danube, iron shoes pay tribute to 20,000 lives lost during a dark chapter of history. Aligned with Hitler's ideologies, Szalasi's Arrow Cross Party expelled nearly 80,000 Jews, executing them along the riverbanks. Stripped of their shoes, victims faced merciless death, their bodies washed away. A haunting reminder of adversity, the memorial prompts reflection on humanity's enduring spirit during World War II.

As the largest city of Hungary, Budapest serves as the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation center. In 2009, Budapest had 1,712,210 inhabitants, down from a mid-1980s peak of 2.1 million. The Budapest Commuter Area is home to 3,271,110 people. The city covers an area of 202.7 sq mi (525 km sq) within the city limits. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the Danube with a unification on 17 November 1873 of right (west)-bank Buda and Óbuda with left (east)-bank Pest.

Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement, was the direct ancestor of Budapest, becoming the Roman capital of Lower Pannonia. Magyars arrived in the territory in the 9th century. Their first settlement was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241-42. The re-established town became one of the centers of Renaissance humanist culture in the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács and nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule, development of the region entered a new age of prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Budapest became a global city after the 1873 unification. It also became the second capital of Austria-Hungary, a great power that dissolved in 1918. Budapest was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919, Operation Panzerfaust in 1944, the Battle of Budapest of 1945, and the Revolution of 1956.
