Roadtrip is the best thing i can do when i am at home in Germany, so when i have the chance and time to travel on a weekend , go go go. This time from Germany to Hungary Budapest, it is a City by the River Donau, at first i was so schock what i saw, old buildings, all gray and it's like you are on an old Communist City. But seeing this beautiful Colonial big historical Chained bridge connecting new and old Budapest, i was so amazed and think how many times the Royals or King Stephan across this Bridge with his Horses, and i am sure, i need to walk over the bridge, to have this historical feeling, it is guarded by four Giant Lions on both end or begin of the Bridge left and right so Historically inviting to walk over the Bridge. On the other side of the Bridge you will find Ancient hill Castle Funicular, it looks like a square small old Orient Express Train,very Vintage and once only used by the Royals to go to the Buda Castle above. Another more captivating Ancient Achitectures of Budapest is those like ice crem cones massive stones Castles

in Neoromanisque style.


Looking at the top of the Hill you will notice a very dominating statue on the Hilltop, this is the very own version of Hungary's Statue of Liberty, it was first errected 1947 , in remembrance of the Soviet Liberation of the Nazi forces during World War II , and a must see, Museum of the Applied Arts, is one of the Masterpiece of Hungarian Art Nouveau, the inner and outer Ceramic cover of the Building as well as the Roofing was magnificent.




Parliament Building also attracts me the most, beeing in Budapest is nonsense without seeing this Magnificent Powerful Parliament Building, it's Structures , Roofing and Design is very breathtaking. The Parliament is built in NeoGothic style, a beautiful Landmark of Budapest. The Mathias Church was once a Coronation Church in the 16th Century, it's vast collections of Treasury is open for visitors.




Heroes square is the most exciting Landmarks, i've ever been in Budapest, those momentous big Eagles statue at the Gate of Heroes square is symbolizing the Mighty of this place. Located at the Andrassy Ave., Heroes Square is also the entrance of the City Park, and i

assume that this is the most Spectacular venue of Budapest.The three mainsites of the square include the Hall of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts and the beautiful Millenium Monument. So i hope this blog of mine helps a bit and wish that my pictures invites you to visit Hungary's Budapest.
