In Budapest, city authorities are not allowed to build high buildings. In such a way, churches and towers of historical buildings in the downtown areas give the silhouette of the city. I have read an article a few weeks ago that Budapest doesnt really have an obvious silhouette which can be used like a logo (Just like Manhattan in New York or the Pudong area in Shanghai).
But to be honest, the building of the parliament or these gentle roofs of churches are like logos of my city to me.
What a beautiful skyline. The patina on the spires make them so lovely. Your city is beautiful.
that was one of the questions i had when i arrived in BP, how come modern buildings are built horizontally ? isnt it costly?..thanks to your post I do have the answer.
I remember reading in Budapest sun about some new high-rise buildings, but cant find the link now

I agree with others.The skyline is in this way so beautiful and peaceful, not aggressive at all.
Have a nice Sunday in your beautiful city, where I have been only three days and remember
best the river and bridges, the huge church, where we were listening a wonderful concert and where was very good acoustic. This was about twenty years ago, you did not have been born yet :)
That’s what makes Budapest so unique! With this light and colours you managed snal and preserve a beautiful moment! Thanks for bringing it to us!
I agree with you; it’s special. And the colors do play a big part. (Gosh, that bridge is shiny, though!)
Amazing vista!! Looks like a fairytale village.
wise authorities! the spirit of the city should be kept alive, unlike in Bucharest… great photo!
