00:00 People in the Hungarian capital are marking the city's 150th birthday.
00:06 Budapest has been inhabited for more than 2,000 years,
00:10 but its three historical parts only merged on November 17, 1873.
00:15 As part of the celebrations, people can ride around the city centre on a night-time party tram.
00:21 They can also attend lectures, concerts and exhibitions.
00:26 City Hall has opened to the public and is showing an exhibition of images depicting significant past and current events.
00:34 As Adam Madzsier reports, Budapest has become one of Central Europe's most important industrial and cultural hubs.
00:41 Birthday celebrations are held all week in Budapest.
00:45 If you want to learn new things, you can go for a walk in the city,
00:49 but if you want to have fun, you should come to the city centre, because DJs are playing at night.
