34. the Memento Park

Blog entries, Gallery
The Memento Park is a must-see, when in Budapest. It contains a raft of discarded sculptures from the communist era. In the category ‘rareties’ the Memento Park, in the outskirts of Budapest, scores pretty high. Already at the entrance we are being treated by communist music meant to uplift the worker’s spirit. Is puts us [...]

33. Budapest (3)

Blog entries, Locations
The last entry on Budapest explores the Buda-side of the city, with its churches and its castle, all heavily restored, and with its unique bath houses. We finally make it to Buda, the city part on the western side of the Danube. But before that, we need to finish the Pest-side of things; I am [...]

Of course, there is more to Budapest, even to Pest only. In the previous entry I illustrated a few eclectic style [...]

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 [...]
