Budapest
There are plenty of other capital cities built on the banks of a river, but such a wide and majestic river, as is the Danube at Budapest, is more of a rarity. Budapest is one of the finest capital cities in Europe, and also one of the best situated. Now home to two million inhabitants, it had the Continent's first underground railway. From here originated more pioneering Hollywood film makers than from any other European city. Hungary's two most celebrated composers - Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály - lived in Budapest.
