Author: Budapest Guide

Two weeks ago several thousand people had to move out of their homes for quite some hours because they found a bomb in the 13. district of Budapest. Yesterday evening they found an even bigger one (the bomb has a weight of more than two tonns), so today the police is working with getting 16.000 people to leave their homes in the 9. district of Budapest. This is for their own security, in case the disarming of the bomb will not be successful. The bomb was found on the corner by the Vaskapu street and the Tóth Kálmán street.

All the people in the area have not left their homes yet, therefore they have not yet started working with the disarming of the bomb. People have been sent to different places while waiting for something to happen, and almost 500 people could be found in the Orczy Park around 16.00 according to the Hungarian newspaper Népszabadság.

Because of this it can become quite heavy traffic jams this evening and until all the closed roads in the 9. district will be opened again.

This is an offer that should definitely catch your attention! We now offer you a guided tour in Budapest for free… that means 0 Euro, 0 Dollar…. 0 Forint! How come? We are proud of the city, and we would like for you to enjoy it as much as we do. That is why we offer you this, and the only thing we encourage you to is to give the guide a good tip if you are satisfied with his/her work!

Enjoy this video… hopefully if you have surfed through our Budapest guide you have better knowledge than this lady. Enjoy it!

We do this more and more often, though our page is meant to be about Budapest only. Earlier we published some pictures from Balaton, earlier this week we wrote about Balaton Sound, and now we though we wanted to tell you that according to the Hungarian news we saw this morning the Lake Balaton already has a temperature of 21 degrees, which means it will be even warmer in some weeks, but still warm enough to swim in already.

So, it might be a good idea to jump on a train or a bus, and enjoy some days outside Budapest this summer as you come to Hungary!

We have earlier written about the Formula 1 Budapest and now it is time to do it again. The annual Formula 1 competition will be in Budapest from Thursday, July 31st and it will last until Sunday, August 3rd when the big race will be.

This year will be the 20th time the Formula 1 (F1) race is being arranged in Budapest, and the most winning competor is Michael Schumacher, who has won the race four times. Now, as we all know, he is no longer driving, but it will for sure be exciting to see who will win.

If you have not done it already; book your hotel or apartment, grab your Formula 1 tickets, and prepare for a great weekend in Budapest.
