Pest, Historic district on eastern bank of Danube River, Hungary.
Pest encompasses two-thirds of Budapest with numerous grand boulevards, public squares, and commercial districts spanning across flat terrain along the Danube.
The settlement originated as a Celtic outpost before becoming a Roman camp called Contra-Aquincum, with first documented mention dating back to 1148.
The district contains the Hungarian National Parliament, Hungarian State Opera House, Great Market Hall, and numerous theaters showcasing Magyar performing arts.
The extensive public transportation network includes four metro lines, numerous tram routes, and bus connections reaching every corner of the eastern side.
The district features repurposed industrial buildings transformed into entertainment venues, creating an alternative cultural scene within former factory spaces.
