We have wet, humid, rainy days nowdays. This photo I took in the VIIIth district of Budapest, in the Balassa street. Though Budapest is very crowded even in the downtown you can still find some empty lands waiting for investors.

Zöld Pardon – Green Pardon
Twilight KFC
It was about 8:30pm in the evening and this is the twilight for now in the Spring time in Budapest. The twilight here is much longer than in Singapore, about half an hour (unlike in Singapore it is 10mins) :) I love photos taken during the twilight because the sky has a beautiful blue. Do you like photos taken during this time of the day?
élelmiszer áruház means ‘Grocery Store’
What you see on this photo is a grocery store called Rothschild élelmiszer áruház in Budapest. There are varieties of products, from diabetic, glutenfree, to bio-products, and Hungary’s most important wine-cellars’ wine. Last but not least, the kosher goods! They also extend free house delivery for orders above 10.000 HUF within Budapest area.
Details in the Basilica
Golden detailings everywhere. That’s the Basilica built in honour of Saint Stephen I of Hungary, the first King of Hungary (c 975–1038), whose incorruptible right hand is housed in the reliquary. You can access the dome by elevators or the 364-stairs for a 360° view overlooking Budapest.
Conference on travel medicine
The University ELTE where I teach rent out the campus building at times for conferences or other events. Yesterday I went to examinate my students and I have found this conference on travel medicine there.:)
Vajdahunyad castle
Again a different angle. The roofs of the Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest.
Bicycle road
Not an Amsterdam yet but thank God we have more and more roads for bicycles in Budapest.
Ajtósi Dürer
This street is name after Albrecht Ajtósi Dürer (1427-1502) that was born in Hungary (in Ajtós). He was the father of the painter Albrecht Dürer.
On the photo the building is a higschool which is recently under (before?) renovation.
Szent István Park
One of my favorite place in Budapest is the Szent István Park. The photo shows only the entrance of the park and more of the Pozsonyi street but I like this whole area for the green athmosphere and for the life there.
The 1000th Post for Budapest Daily Photo!
A special reason to celebrate today and I have the honour to post on this day for our 1000th post. YES, a thousand! It means you get to see 1000 different photos of Budapest daily. But perhaps you HAD seen them as you visited this site every other day and had journeyed along with us all these while, for that, we really THANK YOU!
We would like to feature the ”9 MUST-SEE in Budapest!”. If you are planning your stay in Budapest for five days to one week, you are recommended to at least catch a glimpse of ALL (if not most) of them :)
