Pest, Hungary

Pest () is the part of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, that lies on the eastern bank of the Danube. Pest was administratively unified with Buda and Óbuda in 1873; prior to this, it was an independent city. In colloquial Hungarian, "Pest" is sometimes also used ''pars pro toto'' to refer to Budapest as a whole.

Comprising about two-thirds of the city's area, Pest is flatter and much more heavily urbanized than Buda. Many of Budapest's most notable sites are in Pest, including the Inner City (), the Parliament (''Országház''), the Opera, the Great Market Hall, Heroes' Square, and Andrássy Avenue.
