Another socialist realist building from the historical city center

I know it’s weird, but somehow I think it’s kind of cool.

A new trend in Budapest architecture

These tpye of buildings were very typical in the 70s in Budapest, in some [...]

Buda Castle View from Pest

This Budapest Photo shows the Buda Castle as seen from Pest at the Danube. I had no stand hence the slightly shaking hand and over-exposure. It’ll be better next time.
