The XIIIth district of Budapest is traditionally a working class district. But nowdays I can see there more office buildings especially in the area of the Vaci street-Dózsa György street corner.

Gül Baba street
I like streets with special mood. Gül Baba was an Ottoman dervish and poet living in the middle ages when Buda has been occuppied by the Ottomans for 150 years. The street named after him is a little narrow street leading up to the hill. There is nothing special, no stores, museums or anything like that just a little street with special mood.:)
Kőbánya
Kőbánya is the Xth district of Budapest. This is the district where I was born:) On the picture you can see the Kőrősi Csoma sétány which is lets say the main street of the district.
Streets of Buda
I like the special mood of the streets of Buda in Budapest. This photo I took in the Ist district not far from the Buda Castle.
New bicycle road
I took this photo in the XIIIth district. I hope to see more and more bicycle roads like this in the city. Budapest might be like Amsterdam one day where you can see a lot of bikes replacing cars.

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.
Zebras in Budapest
1,5 years ago cows were occupading the streets of Budapest. Now you can see these zebras at several places in the city. I guess this is an awareness campaign to improve the moral aspect of the Budapest traffic. Drivers usually don’t pay enough attention to walkers on the roads.
The new Budapest
This photo represents the new Budapest hopefully. Lot of constructions everywhere (and scandals around them of course):) and more and more cyclists in the city.
