=== Ports, shipping and others === The river Danube flows through Budapest on its way from (Germany) to the [[Black Sea]].

The Pest side is also a famous port place with [[international shipping]] ports for cargo<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.danubeports.info/index.php?id=1287 |title=Budapest Freeport |date=6 May 2011 |publisher=danubeports.info |access-date=20 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140521033101/http://www.danubeports.info/index.php?id=1287 |archive-date=21 May 2014}}</ref> and for passenger ships.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cruise-profi.com/228/hungary/budapest--hungary-/1.html |title=Budapest cruise terminal |year=2014 |publisher=cruise-profi.com |access-date=20 May 2014}}</ref> In the summer months, a scheduled [[hydrofoil]] service operates on the Danube connecting the city to Vienna. BKK (through the operator [[Budapesti Közlekedési Zrt.|BKV]]) also provides public transport with boat service within the borders of the city. Two routes, marked D11 and D12, connect the two banks with Margaret Island and Óbuda Island, from Rómaifürdő (Buda side, north to Óbuda Island) or Árpád Bridge (Pest side) to Rákóczi Bridge, with a total of 18 stops, while route D2 circulates in the downtown.<ref name="bkk-boats">{{cite web |url=https://bkk.hu/en/boats/ |title=Information on public transport boats |publisher=BKK Budapesti Közlekedési Központ |access-date=30 April 2020}}</ref> Line D14 is a ferry service, connecting Királyerdő on the [[Csepel Island]] with Molnár Island on the Pest side, south to the city centre.<ref name="bkk-boats" /> In addition, several companies provides sightseeing boat trips and also an amphibious vehicle (bus and boat) operates constantly.
