Deák tér by night

Same day, a little bit later, at Deak square
Egy kicsit kesobb, meg mindig ugyanaz a nap, Deák tér.

I took this picture from the front of the yellow building with tower that you could see in the previous post.
Ezt a kepet az elozo bejegyzesben lathato, sarga tornyos epulet elol keszitettem.



Budapest

Deák tér

Walking on from the Bazilika in downtown Budapest, we get to a big square, Deák tér. Named after Ferenc Deák who was one of the greatest Hungarian politicians of all times, in the 19th century.

By the way, the biggest banknote in Hungary today, 20.000 Forint carries his portrait.

That's where all the subway lines meet and you can change from one to another.



I just found now yet another picture from this square:

Szent István Bazilika - Saint Stephen's Basilica

In the 5th district, the hearth of Budapest, there is a very spacious square where you fcan't miss the Szent István Bazilika - Saint Stephen's Basilica.

We come out from the street where you saw these two nice houses and there it is, a huge monument.

Here you can even see the building of my previous post in the corner of the picture:





In the brochures, I didn't read anything about those two numbers you can see on the facade, but as it was year 2006, 1456 must represent the battle of Nándorfehérvár (today: Belgrade) where the Hungarians beat the Turks and so stopped them from their intent to invade the Christian Europe. And 1956 - well, one can find a lot of material about the Hungarian revolution of that year.





Have a look inside (last post on that page)

Yet another nice house

In downtown Budapest, I think in the same street as the one in my previous post, with the beautiful balcony, right beside the Bazilika

Balcony

One thing that I like very much in Hungary: very often they have a lot of flowers and plants at the windows and terrasses.

A peek throught the window, like here

Metró - the subway in Budapest

It was renovated not long ago. I hope it stays nice.
