39. Szeged

Blog entries, Locations
Szeged, once again, has some interesting, and less interesting, architecture, and it has the Hero’s Gate, controversial testimony to Admiral Horty. We are back in the Great Plains, the Puszta. Segzed is all the way south, close to the Serbian border, there where the Tisza River – which we have already encountered several times, like [...]

38. Kecskemet

Blog entries, Locations
Totally unexpected, and not what we came for, but we found a whole range of interesting architecture in Kecskemet. On our way to Szeged, in the south of Hungary, we pass Kecskemet. And because this town has a museum of naïve art, not unattractive from the photos we have seen, we decide to get off [...]

Budapest balconies

Blog entries
A few more pictures, of balconies, this time. I know there are already far too many pictures of buildings in this blog, but both me and my travel companion are fascinated by the architecture in Budapest. And guess what, one specific theme that we have enjoyed already for years – balconies – is a specifically [...]

more Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings in Budapest

Blog entries
There is so much more architectually beautiful to see in Budapest: more photos (I am sorry, just fascinating). Not only the Gresham Palace, also shown in the second Budapest entry of this blog, is a great example of Budapest Art Nouveau. The Modern & Breitner Building, on Deak Ferenc square, was built in 1911, too [...]

32. Budapest (2)

Blog entries, Locations
A few more examples of Budapest architecture, mostly in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco department, and a pleasant stroll along the Danube almost complete our time on the Pest side of the river. Of course, there is more to Budapest, even to Pest only. In the previous entry I illustrated a few eclectic style [...]

more eclectic architecture in Budapest

Blog entries
Just another opportunity to dump some more photos of eclectic buildings in Budapest This style is represented by the enormous Parliament Building, along the Danube, but visible from far, and from across the river, too. From both this building and from the Ankor Palace, on Deak Ferenc square, there are more photos in the main [...]

31. Budapest

Blog entries, Locations
Our first impression of Budapest is overwhelming, and not only because we haven’t see a big city for a while. It is the architecture and the memorials that excite us, at first. We have to adjust somewhat. After several weeks in Slovakia and Eastern Hungary, dominated by rural environments and small town settings, Budapest is [...]

29. Miskolc

Blog entries, Locations
Everything we came to Miskolc for was closed, except the spa, located in a real cave system. There were various reasons to go to Miskolc. The Bukk Hills, in between Eger and Miskolc, are a beautiful nature area, and especially in autumn, when the trees turn bright yellow and red. But the day was grey, [...]

26. Debrecen

Blog entries, Locations
Debrecen has a lot of architecture to offer, as well as a pleasant pedestrianised centre with all the necessary facilities, in the October sun. Debrecen, Hungary’s second largest city, is a bit like Kosice in Slovakia. There is not a whole lot to see, apart from the old part of town, with its churches and [...]

05. Bratislava (2)

Blog entries, Locations
We are a bit lost in Bratislava, which fails to really impress. But look deeper, and there are plenty of things that we do enjoy, from hidden places and original art to the architecture, and the friendly people. Many European capitals do have something unique. Be it a building, or the atmosphere, but you do [...]
