Budapest is amazing

Because I'm way too lazy to write and you probably won't read it anyway, I will just give you some pictures to compensate the loss of all the other pictures thanks to my "Big Brother is watching you"-paranoia. Enjoy!

Heroe's Square

really amazing church.. don't remember which one to be honest with you

Holocaust memorial established by the government, stating Hungary as a mere victim of the Germans

the people of Budapest organized a protest against it

impressive Parliament, most guarded building in Budapest

view from the Fisherman's Bastion

When I found out there was a free walking tour dealing with Jewish history in Budapest, of course I had to join it. I really learned a lot from Zoltan, our guide, and can highly recommend you to take this tour if you're in Budapest - not only for the Jewish history, but also some very interesting side facts about Hungarian society.

Grand Synagogue by the neolog community of Budapest

commemorating the 9 mass graves in the courtyard of the synagogue established by the Red Army when it lkiberated the ghetto

a tree with 6000 metal leaves, commemorating the approx. 600000 Hungarian Jews who died in the Holocaust

first mural on a firewall, showing the most important moment in Hungarian football

the "status quo ante"-synagogue to the left, another mural to the right

this synagogue sadly isn't running right now, because the interieur needs serious renovation

little bit of hypocrisy on a wall memorial in the Jewish district

replica of the wall surrounding the Jewish ghetto during WWII

the orthodox synagogue - with two strictly kosher restaurants and a kosher butcher next to it

only me and two Indians couldn't neglect the fact that these ornaments look like swastikas - the synagogue was built in the late 19th century

the most famous "ruin bar" in the Jewish district"... i forgot the name

Grand Synagogue at night

Flodny - a DELICIOUS Jewish-Hungarian layer cake with all kinds of nuts and jam and other awesome stuff

So what do you say? Amazing!!!
