Budapest : considered by many the Paris of the Danube
indeed it's a beautiful city, the heart of the Mitteleuropa
left side of the Danube : Pest
right side : Buda
the famous Little Princess, a useless bronze sculpture which now
seems to have become the symbol of Budapest
they say
it's a sculpture representing joy and faith in the future, now it's used in
every
tourist guide as a city symbol, honestly it's a shit compared to real
masterpieces of art hosted you can find here
but they needed
something fresh to show that times were changing i suppose ?
a curious boat on the Danube
the majestic Hungarian Parlament
Buda : gothic churches ...
and nice palazzi
the center of Buda offers a lot for the lovers of
neo-classical architecture
and everything looks well preserved and well maintened,
moreover as far i know the city hasn't been heavily damaged
by the many wars on the last three centuries so it
still preserves a lot of monuments and the original charm.
another statue representing something but i still don't know exactly
what they mean : poorness ? happyness ? the author trying to pay his bills ?
we'll never know, in the meantime there are much better things to see than
these
trashy modern "art" creations.
beautiful bridges along the Danube giving the city a typical imperial outlook
