On this momentous occasion, let’s celebrate the rich tapestry of history woven into the fabric of this stunning city. Budapest, born on November 17, 1873, emerged from the merger of three distinct cities – Buda, Pest and Óbuda – creating a harmonious union on the banks of the Danube River. The majestic Chain Bridge, connecting Buda and Pest, became a symbol of this unity, reflecting the city’s resilience and spirit.
As Budapest reaches its sesquicentennial milestone, may the city continue to flourish, preserving its historic charm while embracing the modern era. Here’s to the breathtaking architecture, the thermal baths, the captivating Danube views, and, most importantly, to the diverse and resilient people who have shaped Budapest’s legacy. May the next 150 years be filled with prosperity, cultural richness and an enduring spirit that transcends time.
