Its eleven-kilometre-long, narrow gauge line runs through the woods of the hills of the city on the Buda side.The story of the Children’s Railway reaches back to the middle of the 20th century.The idea of a railway staffed by children was raised right after the end of World War II. Similar institutions had been opened in the former Soviet Union a few years before and in Yugoslavia at the time. It had supporters and opponent as well.

Posted in 30th of September 2011, Friday

By the turn of 19th and 20th centuries, Pest and Buda had been the home of coffee houses, coffee shops and cafés for centuries. The publishing and printing houses were operating in towns, and the writers, who had been working in country mansions, set out to find their luck in the cities. More and more took up residence in the well-heated, well-lit cafés, which offered good company, and a chance to chat, talk politics, or gather information.

Ruin Pubs, Retro Gardens

 About Hungary, Hungarians, Events, Interesting

Posted in 30th of September 2011, Friday

The beginning of the 21st century was an exciting turning point in the nightlife of Budapest: in the central area of the city new places were opened one after another in tenement houses and factory buildings doomed to destruction. These were equipped with rejected furniture of old community centres, cinemas, and grandmothers’ flats, bringing a retro feeling into these places. They were soon called ruinpubs and became popular very fast among the youth of Budapest – ruinpub is the exact translation of the Hungarian name.
To see more about our reused ruins please go to Ruinpubs!

Ferenc Liszt

Ferenc Liszt

 A series of concerts and masses in the Inner City Parish Church and in the Saint Teresa of Avila Parish Church “I have long been attracted and greatly interested in the composition of church music,” wrote Liszt in 1855 Baron Antal Augusz. Two years later he wrote: “the church composer is both preacher and priest, and where the word is not enough to express the sentiment, the voice gives it wings and transfigures it”.

Potable Mineral Water and Tap Water

 Interesting

_

Although mineral water contains several elements needed by the healthy organism, it is important to know that there are also several medical conditions that can be treated by drinking them. A couple of glasses of any Budapest thermal water may have a positive effect on your body. However, consuming them as part of a cure and choosing consciously, they may even make you fitter. If you want to do this, you should first consult your physician. In Széchenyi, Rudas and Lukács drinking halls, and in front of Gellért, an open-air spring await thirsty visitors. The most well-known mineral waters with a healing effect available in pharmacies and major stores include Parádi and Salvus. They are also being sold in sulphurous varieties with a characteristic odour, which in itself makes it worthwhile to try it out. It is also important to know that tap water in Budapest is one of the best in Europe, making it an ideal thirst quencher.
