Budapest - between the North and the South, the East and the West. Part 1.

in #budapest7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone! Below you can find some photos of Budapest. I visited Hungary's capital around half a year ago. As a first impression, I was surprised by the almost mediterennean character of the city. It was quite hot even in October and a lot of people were out on the streets even late at night. Hungary has great cuisine, kind of a "retro" vibe at times and a lot of lovely sights. Below are some photos I wanted to share with you.

Budapest at night is Budapest at it's best 😋

This is the parliament.

... and this the monument from Imre Nagy - one of the numerous city landmarks

... and one of the more recent local heroes, restaurants and pubs in whos honour can be found all over the Hungarian capital. I found it more interesting, than the actual monument, which - by the way - has also been built there.

The river Dunube dividing the city in 2 parts.

...and one of the random more modern locations near the king's castle.

A typical room in a flat from the socialist era. I come from Poland and confirm it actually looked pretty similar where I grew up even in the 80s and early 90s. Photo taken in the Historical Museum.
