This is the facade of the old Hungária Fürdő in Dohány utca (in the VIIth district), an old spa which has been abandoned for decades now. Its day are probably counted, as this area is one of the most hit by the destructive expansion of new property developments by corrupt national and international property developers. [...]
I know it’s weird, but somehow I think it’s kind of cool.
This is the house and the logo of the former state monopoly on Hercegprímás street, 5th district (downtown). The building is currently empty.
A typical building from downtown (Vth district), but one of the few with a view to the river and the Buda Castle across the Danube. By the way, if you would be visiting Budapest, I recommend that you take this tram (Nr 2) and you go on it from one end to the other. You [...]
This is just a regular new building (on Szabadság tér btw). If you click below however and check the next one, you’ll see a wall and inside the building another one, the first currently being supported by a steel structure. You can spot some of this type in the city today. I only can hope [...]

This amazing building is located right in front of Lánchíd (better known abroad as Chain Bridge) on the Pest side. I remember this having been an old, abandoned deep gray building before its privatization in the late 90s. Today it’s one of the most glamorous buildings in Budapest and the best hotel (Four Seasons Budapest, [...]

Did you miss the squat movement in Berlin in the 90s? Don’t worry, as part of Hungary’s retro revival, some courts managed to survive the aggressive expansion of horrible property development projects in the historical city center.
Szimpla Kertmozi is a partly open-air movie theater, today mostly frequented by university students and other intellectuals. It is [...]
These 2 images were shot for the VFXY weekly theme “reflection”. I missed the deadline though, but I like these images. Because they’re so Austrian to me. This building is part of the Gasometer cluster’s complementary block in Wien.
I’m sorry but more Bratislava and Wien photos will follow soon. But for now, this is another photo of a building you’ll certainly meet when you’re in Budapest: the Budapest Opera house, but from an angle most tourists never see. So enjoy.
This is supposed to be a Budapest photos blog, but this is my favorite building in Wien, only appr. 260km from Budapest, and with all the history and existing similarities in architecture I think it’s reasonable to share this photo here. As well as the Bratislava photos.
Budapest Alkotás Point office center in Buda.
Another photo of the Budapest Opera building. The main entrance is from the Andrássy avenue.
The artists’ entrance, I think, this is, of the Budapest Opera. Anyway, it’s just a nice building in a nice neighborhood in the VIth District. Beautiful building (inside and outside), venue of mediocre spectacles and a pathetic new year party every year.
A typical house on the glamorous Andrássy avenue. I’ll post more photos, including b&w shots of hits amazing street of Budapest.
These houses built in the 70s gained new look after a recent redecoration which was more than just applying some new make-up. The houses, however, look like they used to in black and white, as you can see on the following photo.
These tpye of buildings were very typical in the 70s in Budapest, in some [...]
These are photos of the old thread factory in Budapest (Buda, actually) renovated few years ago then abandoned and today an office building. Their website also worth a look: http://www.dorottya.net/
