Andrássy is by far the most beautiful large avenue of Budapest. Every visitor should walk through it from one end to another. You’ll find nice shops, Cafés, restaurants (don’t miss Klassz!) but above all, architecture.

Strange boats.
The old factory buildings provide an excellent contrast to the lively garden which is Kopaszi-gát today and its XIst century buildings. I can only hope that both will remain intact for a long time.
This picture was taken at the Kopaszi-gát in south Buda. After a tricky privatisation, sale to a Portuguese investor and a rental contract this area’s now promenade through a nice garden n a perfectly thin, long peninsula filled with abandoned new buildings, like this one on the photo.
Gyermekvasút (children train) is still partly operated by underage kids, mostly in their early teens. During the socialist era these girls and boys were dressed in socialist youth uniforms.
The Széchenyi-hegy station where you can hop off from Fogaskerekű and hop on the Gyermekvasút to take a pleasant tour in the Buda hills.
Play a nice track while visiting
Hungary’s industrial output is declining again, according to the latest official economic data. This factory was closed long before the credit crunch hit the country.
These robust machines which once lifted and moved heavy objects are still impressive, seen from 10 meters below.
Fortified walls.
There’s no traffic in the area any more, [...]
Vintage toys from the flea market “Ecseri”.
All Hungarian kids had one of these teddy bears.
Boys were crazy about this simple metal set.
Sellers always complain, there’s always room for some bargaining (often up to 50%) but it’s difficult to get something really nice for a good price.

Andrássy street’s been recenty added a glamorous look by opening of so far missing luxurious designer stores and facelifts are being made constantly, although not quickly enough if you ask me. Kodály Körönd has one of the most gorgeous building clusters of the city and one of them is currently undergoing rooftop restauration works. I [...]

I know, I know… This photo wasn’t taken on the banks of river Danube but I’d rather post a nice photo from elsewhere than publishing a suitable photo which I did not have time to take.
The photo was actually [...]
Honestly, I don’t know why anyone from outside this neighborhood would find this place. But if you do, make sure you enter. I felt embarrassed taking pictures inside (there’s are photography in there, you know) but it’s worth a visit. They transformed this old-school socialist-realist bus station into a trendy place where you can site outside or [...]
Bországgyűlés is a yearly wine and food outdoor exhibition and fair following the Pannon Bormustra, a rather important national wine contest. “Full” coverage of the event is published on my Hungary Wine Reviews Blog, so let’s focus to the venue here. This is the smaller version of the Vajdahunyad castle of Romania, Transylvania to be [...]
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. [...]
Yep, Farger is right behind this.
The building on the left is a bank. The other one is residential. All located on Szabadság tér, by the American embassy. And by Farger coffe shop, which features a very cute dog, good bagels, cakes and coffee.
