Travel Pictures Gallery.com - Europe - Hungary - Budapest
a series of travel images from Europe, Hungary - Budapest, the capital of the country. A very enjoyable city with lots of interesting architecture, history and atmosphere. Modern day Budapest consists of two historic cities lying on opposite sides of the Danube river. Buda is the western (left) bank side, with the high hill top on which the Buda castle sits. Pest is the flat eastern (right) bank side, with the Parliament, numerous other stately buildings, and busy streets retaining all their 19th century architectural heritage. In 1987 Budapest was added to the Unesco World Heritage List for its cultural and architectural significance. Photography by Willem Proos ©
