Slideshow seen by more than 5000 people

Our slideshow with pictures from Budapest has now been seen by more than 5000 people. I must admit that we have much better pictures available now, so we could probably make a much better slideshow with the pictures available now… but this has become such a traditional slideshow, so we decide to let it stay!

But, for those who want more pictures, we recommend our Pictures page.

Events and other information

Normally I am playing football every Tuesday evening. But, this autumn will not be to active because of Debrecen who qualified for the Champions League. Especially when Debrecen is playing at the Puskás Ferenc Stadium everyone is either home watching the match in television, or at the stadium watching it there.

Concerts near Budapest

But, we are also regularly updating our page with information about concerts happening near Budapest. In the start of 2010 Europe will be out touring several cities, and so will Pat Metheny. ABBA – The Show is out on the track again, and of course Depeche Mode. So there are loads of excuses to leave Budapest (at least if you do not visit the concerts as these artists perform in Budapest).

For Hungarian who dont want to leave Hungary it is also possible to check out the Harlem Gospel Singers concert in Szeged taking place December 28. So look around and hopefully you will find some useful information around on our pages.

Stratovarius Budapest 2010

Hungarians like metal, call it black, heavy, power or death metal. Scandinavians are good at producing these kind of bands, so that is why it always turns out to be a popular event when such a band comes to Budapest. In January 2010 Stratovarius from Finland will come to Petőfi Csarnok to play. Stratovarius has sold more than 2,5 million records worldwide since they were formed in 1984.

Parliament finally finished

I didnt even realize that the work with the Hungarian Parliament had lasted for so long, but last week I read that the last 20 years there has been continous work on the Hungarian Parliament, or the side of the Parliament looking towards the Danube. So, I guess we all got used to the workers and the fact that we never could see the Parliament at its best… But, now it is done (the side looking towards the Danube), and hopefully it will stay nice and clean for many, many years.

To see it the best way you should go to the Batthyány Square or you can go up to the Fishermens Bastion (though the view is nicer from Batthyány Square)!

Just some nice Budapest pictures

We love Budapest by night, and below you can see some pictures taken during an evening trip on the Danube with dinner and live gipsy music. The pictures only show Budapest, but the trip and the food was great as well. More information can be found on our Danube page.

As the autumn has come it is getting dark early in Budapest, so boat trips starting at 19.00 is an ideal timing for a good and nice, and maybe even romantic Danube trip in the dark.

Did you by the way know that Danube is the longest river in the European Union, and the second longest in Europe after the river Volga?
