Short answer: The Danube (Danube River) is the watercourse that passes through Budapest.
Helpful context:
- Budapest sits on a bend of the Danube, with the river running between Buda and Pest, which is why it’s a defining feature of the city.[9]
- In recent notable floods, the Danube’s level has risen to historic highs in Budapest during several past events, prompting protective measures and closures along the riverfront.[1][3]
If you’d like, I can summarize current flood risk status or narrow to a specific date range and provide a quick map of the river’s path through Budapest.
