Tuna Nehri’nin İncisi Başkent BUDAPEŞTE I Macaristan I Vlog

BUDAPEST OCTOBER 2023 Hello, I AM FİRDEVS. We are going to Budapest for the first time with my wife and friends. I am very excited. Ankara Esenboğa Airport My husband fell asleep 🙂 We are in good spirits 🙂 After a long wait, we board the plane.

The way my wife expresses her emotions with excitement:) We are about to land in Budapest , Istanbul . The weather is a bit cloudy. We arrived at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. We took bus number 100E from Budapest airport.

Our journey lasted 20 minutes. We will get off at the Deak French stop in the city center. We left our luggage at the hotel and immediately came to Twentysix Budapest restaurant. It’s a really nice restaurant, the food is great.

The upper floors are offices and you can go up to take photos if you want. After dinner we went out to explore the surroundings. This is a street where Budapest’s entertainment centers are located. There are many cafes and bars around. There are also places where you can sing karaoke. We continue to travel.

There are different statues everywhere. The showcases are colorful. There is a large Ferris wheel right in the center of the city. The night view is really beautiful. Right next to you, there are people who entrust their wishes to these locks. You may come across such beautiful murals in the streets.

At the end of the road, we came across Buda Castle. On our way back to the hotel, we wanted to see St. Stephen’s Basilica at night and stopped by the square in front of it. Day 2:

The name of the hotel we stayed in is Hotel Mika Downtown. We chose the hotel room as a duplex. The hotel is located in the Pest region. Pest is a lively place like the heart of the city, so we chose a hotel in this area.

The hotel’s breakfast is an open buffet and is really satisfying. Today we planned to visit Budapest on foot. First of all, we will visit Andrássy út Street, one of the widest boulevards in the city. Andrássy út Street hosts luxury shops and stylish restaurants.

The street, where important buildings of the city can be seen, is a pleasant shopping and entertainment stop. The Hungarian State Opera House is located on the most important street of Pest. Definitely a must see place. You can visit the entrance area and take photos for free.

Spar, a supermarket chain like Carrefour in Budapest. The wonderful 19th-century Neo-Renaissance photography studio is the Hungarian House of Photography. We continue walking on Andrássy út Street and see colorful facades. Museums are closed in Budapest on Monday, so you’d better plan your trip accordingly.

The building, which was used as a police station by the Germans during the Nazi occupation and by Soviet soldiers after the occupation, is today used as the House of Terror Museum. This is a work built in memory of the Berlin Wall and is located right in front of the museum.

Since the stones on the building facades and courtyards are in different colors and patterns, people want to enter all the streets and courtyards and wander around. The elevators and stairs at the apartment entrances take you back to old times.

Kodály Körönd square is one of the two squares on Andrássy út Street. The four buildings in the square form a complete circle, and each has a small garden with chestnut and plane trees and a statue. We entered Munkácsy Mihály utta street and started wandering around. Budapest VI. Ferenc Kölcsey Regional High School

We entered the high school on the street and looked and then started walking towards Heroes’ Square. Heroes’ Square was built for the Hungarian Millennium in 1896 to commemorate 1000 years of Hungarian history. In Heroes’ Square (Hösök tere), there are statues of the most important leaders and war heroes of Hungarian history.

Just behind the square is Varosliget City Park. Budapest’s magnificent medieval castle, hidden in a secluded, quiet grove… Located on Széchenyi Island in Vajdahunyad City Park, Vajdahunyad Castle makes you feel like you are wandering through the streets of the Middle Ages. Budapest City Park (Varosliget), the world’s first city park, was planted in 1751.

There are different seating areas at the cafe called Zöld Küllő located in the park. Sou Fujimoto’s Hungarian Music House, a contemporary cultural landmark dedicated to music in Budapest City Park. The surrounding landscape elements, as well as the Music House, really impress people.

The National Monument to the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence of 1956 is one of the most impressive statues I have ever seen. The monument symbolizes people walking arm in arm. It expresses the strength of the community.

Budapest Ethnography Museum, designed by Napur Architects, stands out with its curvilinear form that continues the park around it. We need to listen to the voice of the city. The glass façade surrounding the museum’s landscaped roof garden is located meters above the ground. One is afraid to look down.

The façade, which consists of approximately half a million pixels and is based on ethnographic motifs selected from the museum’s Hungarian and international collections, is a completely contemporary interpretation. The pixelated texture on the facade was laser cut by a special robot and placed on the aluminum grille.

You can see every shade of green and blue and dancing waters in Budapest. A smart bench playing the works of Liszt and Chopin has been placed in the City Park promenade. East (Keleti) Train Station was built between 1881-1884 and is an impressive train station that was restored in 1998.

For those who want to go to Vienna, this station is located in the heart of the city. There are opportunities to imagine yourself as a prince or princess for a day. New York Cafe can help you with its wonderful atmosphere.

A very beautiful historical building. Do not neglect the opportunity to drink coffee, eat dessert and listen to music in such an environment. You can sip your coffee while listening to live classical music. While wandering around, you have the opportunity to see wonderful buildings that are not on the plan.

The architecture of the Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest’s lobby is breathtaking and located just a few steps from the Danube. The restaurant of this magnificent environment is open to the outside and you can take your time and have a dinner. Our walking point for the evening was Vaci Utca, the famous street of Budapest.

This street is designed entirely for pedestrians; It is possible to find souvenir shops everywhere on the left and right of the road. You may find yourself dancing when you hear beautiful music on the street. You buy a ticket from the machine and wait at the pier. And your 1-hour Danube River tour begins.

In Budapest, boats depart from the Pest coast, from the ports between the Chain Bridge and the Elizabeth Bridge, and finish their tours at this point. You feel mesmerized by seeing Budapest’s skyline illuminated in the darkness. Seeing the Parliament Building from the Danube River.

There are some cities whose nights are brighter than their days. Budapest gives us this feeling. On the second day, we decided to visit St. Stephen’s Basilica. Entrance tickets to the basilica can be purchased from the sales offices on the right side.

The construction of the basilica, which started in 1851, took more than 50 years and was finally opened in 1906 with the participation of Emperor Franz Joseph. You also have the chance to see Budapest from 364 steps up in the basilica, which reflects the magnificence of the period with its neo-renaissance style interior decoration.

Keep in mind, there are church organ concerts every Monday at 17.00 in St. Stephen’s Basilica. Saint Anne Parish Catholic Church is located in Szervita Square, close to Deák Square and Váci Street. The interior of the church is also in Baroque style. We go to Market Hall (Central Market) from Vaci Street.

The sky and weather are magnificent. The Grand Market (Central Market Hall) is one of Budapest’s most popular shopping spots and the largest indoor venues in the city. Designed by Hungarian architect Samu Pecz and opened in 1896, the building was heavily damaged in World War II.

The building was restored in 1990 with colorful Zsolnay honeycomb roof tiles. The interior of the market place is lively and colorful. It is a building worth seeing with its magnificent architecture and delicious tastes. It has a wide range of products, from fresh fruits and vegetables to textiles and souvenirs.

The ground floor of the 3-storey market looks like a classic marketplace. Bálna: designed as a center of entertainment, culture, gastronomy and commerce. Its popular name is Glass Whale.

It is located in the world heritage protection area on the banks of the Danube River and there are many nice cafes on the parts overlooking the river. A SHORT BREAK. Public transportation in the city with metro, tram, trolleybus and buses is quite developed.

When you exit Central Market Hall, the bridge on your left is the Liberty Bridge. When you cross this bridge, you will reach Gellert Thermal and Gellert Hill. The church carved into the rocks that form the hill and the historical Ottoman bath located at the foot of the hill are among the must-see places.

On the Buda side, seating areas in the form of an amphitheater were designed along the Danube River. As we continue walking, we come across the Gellért Thermal Springs.

Swimming in the pools between the Art Nouveau style marble columns of the Gellert Thermal Spa, located within the historical Gellert Hotel, opened in 1918, is an unforgettable cultural experience. Gellert Hill is an enjoyable route for walking. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and remember that it is a long walking route 🙂

The Swedish Embassy Building appears at the foot of Gellert Hill. Before we go up the hill, a modern villa integrated with green and blue catches our eye. ‘For example, you can sleep comfortably here.’ said. And… Gellert Hill’s abundant sunshine, beautiful weather and magnificent parks…

You can watch the most beautiful views of Budapest from the slope of the hill overlooking the Budapest Castle and the Parliament Building. A popular spot for photographers. We are going down the paths in a magnificent forest.

As we continue our way after descending the hill, colorful buildings and lush parks welcome us. The Buda side is a place with greener areas and houses with gardens compared to the Pest side. Buda Castle began to appear.

Today, this region has been on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List since 1987, thanks to its Gothic buildings, 18th century Baroque houses and cobblestone streets. Buda and Pest, which came under the rule of the Ottoman Empire in 1541, remained within the Ottoman borders until 1686.

The Royal Equestrian Hall was destroyed during World War II, and the building was rebuilt in 2019 according to its original design by Hauszmann in 1901. The National Hauszmann Program was launched in February 2019, and within this scope, the renovation of the Buda Castle Palace District began.

It was rebuilt according to Alajos Hauszmann’s original design. The glass windows were produced by Hungarian mosaic and stained glass artist Miksa Róth. The Hauszmann Ramp was reconstructed according to contemporary photographs and designs and opened to the public in 2021.

Buda Castle is a multi-layered place, there are different surprises at different elevations. And the Matthias Fountain… Flowing courtyards and magnificent structures.

If you want to have a fun and very cheap ride with the Funicular at the Buda end of the Chain Bridge, you can go up to the castle from this historical point. (1870-Monday – Sunday: 08:00 – 22:00)

Matthias Church is one of the oldest churches in Budapest and It is one of the most unique churches in Europe. (1015) The building, where coronation ceremonies were held by Hungarian kings for centuries, was used as a mosque by the Ottoman Empire for more than 150 years. Eye-catching stained glass windows.

Its mystical exotic atmosphere combined with its neo-Gothic features makes it different from other churches. ZSOLNAY Ceramics adorns the facades and roofs of many buildings in Hungary. The varnishing methods used give the products a pleasant iridescent atmosphere. ZSOLNAY Roof

Tiles Fisherman’s Bastion offers panoramic views of the city’s most beautiful attractions. It was built at the turn of the century to celebrate the 1000th birthday of the Hungarian state. Castle Tunnel in Buda – 1865 The Chain Bridge connecting Buda and Pest, the two beautiful shores of Budapest, adorned with historical buildings…

Between 1944 and 1945, approximately 20,000 Jews in Budapest were shot against the Danube River by removing their shoes. Turkish director Can Togay designed an open-air museum in 2005 and its sculptor was Gyula Pover. Simply put, Budapest is a great city where you can spend 4-5 days, not 3 days.

While the train to Vienna is waiting for us, our hearts remain in this city. While going to the train station by tram, we have the opportunity to revisit the routes we walked. Now we recognize ZSOLNAY Roof tiles wherever we see them 🙂

Bridges, river, baths, green, blue, food, parks, historical buildings, hill, castle… everything is like a dream… See you at another sunrise, Budapest. Goodbye Budapest, hoping to see you again one day…
