Hungary has prepared a series of events to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Budapest. The city of Veszprém, which holds the title of European Capitals of Culture, will host the Street Music Festival featuring numerous international artists among other cultural events.

150 years ago, Hungary celebrated the birth of Budapest, its tourist capital, which came into being after the unification of the cities of Buda, Pest and Óbuda. In just a few decades, this small city has become one of the largest, most populous and modern cities in Europe thanks to its markets, thermal baths, luxurious literary cafés, grand architecture and lively nightlife.
