There are many beautiful parliaments on this earth, but one of the nicest one is for sure located in Budapest. But, there is still a very important question to answer. Which Budapest Parliament is the nicest? The one located at the Szabo Marcipan Museum in the Hilton Hotel, or maybe the one in the Szamos Marcipan Museum in Szentendre? Or, maybe the one located by the Danube bank on the Pest side, designed by Imre Steindl is the most beautiful one?
Take a look yourself, and feel free to share your thoughts 🙂

Within the next seven days there will be quite some spectacular concerts in Budapest. It all starts tomorrow with a gospel kind of concert in Budapest Sportarena. Here the crowd will be able to hear the famous worship band from Hillsong London and also London Community Choir.
The highlights of the week will though be on Saturday and Sunday for most people. On Saturday Sting will enter the Stage in Budapest Sportarena, followed by the crazy Lady Gaga on Sunday. There are big expectations connected to this concert, as Lady Gaga has been praised for the quality of her concert as she is touring Europe.
For those staying in Budapest until Monday Joe Satriani will have a concert, so there should be something to enjoy for all kinds of music tastes within the next seven days in Budapest.
We wish everyone a beautiful week in Budapest!
A few days ago the news was given that a new Starbucks will open before Christmas in Mammut 2 as well. This will then become the first Starbucks on the Buda side of the Danube.
Great news for Starbucks lovers in Budapest, of whom there seems to be many as the Starbucks in Westend is packed from morning till evening.
Yesterday Corvin Shopping Center (Corvin bevásárlóközpont) opened in Budapest. Most shops had great discounts and in the evening the participants in X-Faktor entered the stage in the new shopping mall.
From morning till evening the center was packed with curious people, both young and old, curious at what this new shopping center in the eight district of Budapest had to offer. To be honest it does not have so much new stuff, but one shop that is brand new is Butlers. Until now Hungarians had to travel to Vienna to find this shop, but now it can be found in Budapest as well 🙂
(After writing this article DrDonzo corrected us, and commented that Butlers already exists in MOM Park)
Besides this many other shops could be found in the center (check out our Corvin shopping center page for more information), and many more will be opened within the coming months. The center was not completely finished, and many places work was still done to get this center up and ready.
More pictures from the centre can be seen at Corvin shopping center page.
At 20:30 in the evening the participants from X-Faktor in Hungary entered the stage and they all sang two songs each. Beneath you can see a video showing clips from all artists, and a video showing both songs performed by Norbert L. Király.

Since the middle of October and lasting until April sometime the Fishermens bastion is free to visit again. The guards are on winter holiday which means free entrance for the rest of us.
After a lot of work the part of the Fishermens bastion opposite the Hilton hotel is open as well, so this should give the inhabitants of Budapest as well an excuse to visit this touristy place as well!
Budapest newest shopping center is opening today. The name of the center in Hungarian is Corvin Bevásárlóközpont, and it is a part of the project named Corvin Sétány (Corvin Avenue). This is a project in the eight district of Budapest, known as one of the worst districts in the capital, demolishing old and ugly houses, building new flats, opening new restaurants, a shopping center, a fitness center and creating new office buildings.
Today is the day of the official opening of the shopping center, while most restaurants in the area are expeceted only to open in March/April 2011. In Corvin Shopping center you can find for example: C&A, Hervis, Alexandro (book store), T-Mobile, CBA (grocery store) and quite some more shops. Maybe this new centre also will bring life to the kind of abandoned Corvin cinema?

The sun is still shining in Budapest and October has so far been a great month to visit Budapest.
A general advice is though to bring warm clothes as the wind can feel extremely cold, even when the sun is shining. And as the sun goes down it can get and feel really cold.
One of the coldest places on a windy day is the Gellert Hill and beneath this text you can see a picture from the liberty monument there.
