Business which are Hungary' for success will find strong allies in the shape of international delivery companies that offer a first-class service to its capital city, Budapest. Standing astride the banks of the river Danube in northern central Hungary, Budapest is a picturesque city which has become very popular with tourists since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
More than 3.25million people live in the Budapest commuter area, 1.7million of them within the city limits. Modern Budapest was formed when the towns of Buda and Obuda on the west bank of the Danube were unified with Pest, on the river's eastern shore, in 1873. The outer parts of the city's commuter belt are where most of the industry of Budapest is concentrated. It is a centre for metals production and processing, mechanical engineering and light industry, and many multi-national domestic appliance makers have built plants in this area.
Visitors to Budapest flock to the city's three designated World Heritage sites, Castle Hill, the banks of the Danube, and Andrassy Avenue, where the main opera house is located, and which is now at the heart of the city's shopping district. Ferihegy international airport, 10 miles east of the centre of Budapest, is the main artery which feeds foreign visitors and cargo into the city. Several carriers, including the biggest worldwide delivery companies, operate to the airport, from destinations as diverse as Amsterdam, Taipei, Moscow and Cairo.
Budapest is within the Schengen free trade area of Europe, but as of 2010, additional security checks have been put in place due to lapses found during routine tests of the system. The city also saw the completion of its motorway ring road in 2010, easing access for road traffic. International rail services run to one of three strategically located termini within the city, while the River Danube remains an important artery, linking the Budapest with the Black Sea. Csepel, in the south of the city, houses the main port facilities, where a great deal of cargo from the east and south is offloaded.
With its excellent transport system, international couriers find it easy to give their customers access to all parts of Budapest. So no matter what the size or nature of the consignment, there is plenty of help available when the need arises to get to any part of the city, and keen competition among the most reputable international delivery companies means that getting goods to Budapest is all pleasure and no pain.
