Stories from locals

Anna:

"We participate each year the Museums’ night at the end of June, I love the extra programs made up for this night, I liked best the planetarium program of the Kiscell Museum and the spirit of the Aquincum Museum."

Ági:

"I like the permanent exhibition of the Hungarian National Gallery too, but when the paintings of Munkácsy were exhibited we spent hours with my father in the waiting queue to get in and see the paintings. I do not regret a moment of it."

Lilla:

"I like to travel on the trams in the summer, I even go home on a by pass road. I like watching the Danube and the panorama of Buda from tram numbered 2 and I go with it right until the circuit. There I change for trams 4-6 and admire the circuit, the buildings, the people and the everyday pulse of the town."

László:

"Whenever I am on the Andrássy avenue I feel as if I was on an era journey. It worth looking at the frontages of the old building, you may find beautiful things, so heads up!"

Ágnes:

"Elegancy, monumental buildings, centenary turn cottages, large space with alleys, tube railways, hive and peace in the same time, this is Andrássy avenue. This is where I ran my first half Marathon too in heavy rain but with even bigger enthusiasm."

Emese:

"The Palace District recalls a bit of Paris in Budapest. Behind the Hungarian National Museum a separated little world unfolds over here with beautiful buildings, cheery squares, narrow, high streets. The tiny orioles learn to sing for Bach and Haydn due to the nearby rooms of the radio. Reviczky street is the nicest of the town. It is the nicest when the wind blows off the petals from the blooming trees, or when the colourful leafs of autumn covers the street. Just a few streets, but we may often find surprise in every corner."

Ádám:

"Anonymus’ sculpture in the Castle of Vajdahunyad. It is in a nice environment, for me its pose is very interesting, it makes me think what could it be what does he do… For me the Castle of Vajdahunyad is an exciting build up itself."

Zsuzsa:

"I don’t believe that another city exists where we can find as many lion imageries as in Budapest. It can be seen on water spouts, bridge heads, stones of gate entries, wood carving of remained apartment blocks, in front of the public buildings, sculptures of squares, all made in different artistic styles."

Éva:

"Art and culture: I propose the Palace of Art in any case. You may find there everything: book shop, museum, movie, not to mention the concerts, both classical and light music and tickets are lot cheaper for the students one hour before the concert!!"

Magdi:

"I was given a fantastic gift for my birthday: we went up by scooter to the Zikkurat located between the Palace of Arts and the Hungarian National Theatre and we rolled down. Excitement, sight and joy. Do we need better fun?"

Judit:

The Buda Castle gives a beautiful sight on the hot summer nights with the lights of the night and the view to the town is also nice. In August, when I was there one night a violinist played music at the Fishermen’s Bastion, I think it was very romantic.
