BUDAPEST - Hungary - the other showcase
Hi all!
I'm Drainville from Hungary, Budapest, and this is my first thread here. In this thread, I'll present some photos shot by myself, about Budapest. There are many nice and not so nice places in this city that people don't know. So, here comes the images of Budapest, with some typical tourist ones and many unknown ones.  Here are the first pics: image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  Also, feel free to ask anything! |

Looking forward to more pics. I was last in Budapest in 1978 and I must say I preferred Pest to Buda. Loved the avenues and boulevards.
Welcome to the forum! |

Yes, I remember one really old looking tram on the bridge at the northern end of Margaret Island. |

Nice pictures. Although I am pretty often in Budapest, there are many areas I have never seen before.

Lovely place.
There´s still an imperial splendour at Budapest.

Here comes five shots, all of them from outer districts:
image hosted on flickr  Look at this house! Doesn't it remind you of an artist? image hosted on flickr  Painting old buildings to bright colors is very common in a few outer districts. I think it's not too nice! image hosted on flickr  Bricks, rain, Ford Escort - a very little bit of England. image hosted on flickr  Housing estate called Újpalota. image hosted on flickr  A street made of yellow stones. There are just very few streets like this. When it rains or snows, it can get dangerously slippery. Last edited by Drainville; July 29th, 2011 at 11:05 AM. |

Today's pics:
image hosted on flickr  Street next to Eastern Railway Station. Early march can be really grey. image hosted on flickr  Road next to Danube. image hosted on flickr  Lutheran temple (a photo from another angle). image hosted on flickr  Nice autumn scene. image hosted on flickr  Diesel locomotive in Southern Railway Station. Normally they aren't allowed in the main railway stations of Budapest, but due to a rail reconstruction somewhere else, they are allowed this summer. They make a bunch of noise, but they look lovely. image hosted on flickr  Typical suburb tavern with a small garden. It's near to the airport, however, I've never seen tourists around. |
