Eötvös Loránd University, entrance hall
Eötvös Loránd University, entrance hall. The only or, at least, one of not too many places where the ancient wall-paintings have survived.
This synagogue is now a part of the Holocaust Museum
This synagogue is now a part of the Holocaust Museum
In the Holocaust Museum
In the Holocaust Museum. A wall with the names of Hungarian Jews killed by the Nazis.
This nice mouse is looking from its wall at the little yard where we were drinking beer 🙂
Try to guess what could it be? Yes, you are right: it’s a fountain. In the middle of a footpath. The water flows down along the grooves 🙂
The dints on the wall remain since the Hungarian Revolution of 1956
Signboards in Russian can also be seen in Budapest 😉
One more fountain.
A monument to the Soviet soldiers
A monument to the Soviet soldiers; probably the only one that was not destroyed in the post-Soviet time.
The monument to those who perished during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956
The monument to those who perished during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The eternal flame is rather unusual: it is burning on a “candle” made of stone.
The Parliament Building, interior
The Parliament Building, interior
It’s inside of the Parliament Building too. Looks like the Gold Tree of Valinor 🙂
The Parliament Building, assembly hall
Since the Hungarian parliament (the National Assembly, or Diet) was initially bicameral, there are two assembly halls in the building. Now the parliament is unicameral, so this hall is used for different conferences, and the deputies meet in the other one.
A piece of the Berlin Wall
The monument to the years of Soviet rule

A pond in front of the City Park
The pond in front of the City Park and Vajdahunyad Castle
The pond in front of the City Park. Behind it is Vajdahunyad Castle – a decorative building that contains parts of buildings from various time periods and thus displays different architectural styles: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.

State Archive of Hungary
And once more, try to guess, what’s this? Yes, you’re right – it’s the State Archive of Hungary. However, from a distance one can think it’s a cathedral 😉
Buda Castle, residential area
A residential area in Buda Castle (the picture is made through the grille). Niches for sitting under the vaulting are characteristic for the medieval houses in Buda. It is supposed that guests’ servants were waiting for their masters here. In post-Turkish period the niches were bricked up. They were disclosed again during the Second World War, after a bombing.

There are also trams like that in Budapest 🙂
