The Hungarians (Magyars), would eventually settle into the "Town of Attila" and would eventually build up the city of Budapest over the centuries. There are many sights to be seen in Budapest. The most popular tourist sights in the city are; the Buda Castle District, the Chain Bridge, the Parliament Building, Heroes' Square, Gellért Hill and the Danube River separating "Buda" and "Pest".
