Gluttonous Thursday 2010 – today

Posted on by Budapest Guide

We wrote about it yesterday and we write about it again today! Gluttonous Thursday 2010 (Torkos Csütörtök) has come upon us again, and that means that we can eat and drink at half price in a whole lot of Budapest restaurants today. Our plans are not yet ready, but I guess we will drop by at least 1 restaurant today, maybe more (time will show)!

A full list of restaurants participating can be found at menjunkenni.hu. Take a look, be prepared and watch out as well, as many restaurants often abuse this event to earn more money in different ways. And as you have been out eating, please come back and share your experience with us and our readers. We would be delighted to hear about your Gluttonous Thursday experience in Budapest or somewhere outside Budapest, so if you have visited a restaurant – please write a comment below to let us know what it was like!

From Degas to Picasso: Museum of Fine Arts

Posted on by Budapest Guide

If you would like to see masterpieces from French painters painted between the middle of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, you better head towards the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest between January 28 and April 25. During that period there will be a temporary exhibition there presenting more than 50 paintings from the given period. All the paintings are borrowed from the Puskin Museum in Moscow for this exhibition.

Among the paintings you can see masterpieces made by Courbet, Corot, Degas, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cézanne, Matisse and Picasso.

Green Day to Sziget Festival?

Posted on by Budapest Guide
Green Day

Before you start rejoicing notice the questionmark in the title. This is not at all sure, but I just noticed someone who requested on the official Sziget page that Green Day should come to Sziget and today as I worked with the page presenting some concerts in cities near Budapest I noticed that Green Day will perform in June 2010. Of course that does not mean anything at all where Green Day will perform two months before the Sziget Festival in 2010, but at least it is possible to hope.

So this text is not based on any real facts or nothing, but it might only represent a hope from thousands of Hungarian fans that Green Day may return to Budapest and to the Sziget Festival in 2010.

Strike still going strong

Posted on by Budapest Guide

The public transportation strike which we have written about several times already is still going strong and most buses, trams and trolley buses in the capital of Hungary are still standing still. Some of them are going and you can read more about that in our former post.

I guess the taxi companies enjoy the strike as they probably have much more to do than under normal circumstances, but it would be nice if they could finish this strike within shortly.

One addition to the strike is the fact that MAV (train company) has joined into the strike and especially in the early morning many trains stand still and do not transport passengers!

Strike in Budapest

It is winter in Budapest and the buses of the local transportation company, BKV, is having a hard time. But not only the buses, but the drivers and other workers are not at all satisfied, and the rumours are even spreading that some drivers just leave their buses in so called wildcat strikes.

In addition a big strike has been announced on January 12, and time will show it it will be a heavy strike or not (I have heard that even if it is a strike the metros will probably be running and  so on)!
