Google street view is in Hungary!

 Google Street View first launched in 2007 in Los Angeles now Hungary has been added to the long list of counties in Europe which are featured on street view. Google Maps can now take you 'virtually' through the streets of Budapest. But at this point I need to stop and share my thought about Budapest.

Budapest is the most beautiful city in Europe! It isn’t just the capital of Hungary which has been located in the middle of the country but more than that it is also heart of Europe as well.

 

Danube, one of the largest rivers in Europe, flows between the two parts of the city. The east side called Pest, is a rapidly growing modern city while Buda the west side is on the highlands. Buda’s is the old castle’s districts which became a UNESCO World Heritage Committee site.

Yes, we are surrounded by treasures!

Tourists think about Budapest based on our famous tourist spot such as the Gellért Hill with our Statue of Liberty and the Citadel, and the Castle of Buda.

 

 

 

What about Pest side? You can visit the House of Parliament, the famous Andrássy Avenue and Heroes Square or St. Stephen's Basilica and Vajdahunyad Castle and many great parks too.

 

What do we as Hungarians think about Budapest? 

For us we think that the Millennium underground is still part of Budapest's transport system, but did you know that it was the first underground in the continent of Europe?

Do you know the legend of the stone Lions who guard the chain bridge on either side of Buda, and Pest? The historical fact is that in 1842 Pest and Buda was connected together but, a fun fact is that what most Hungarians want to know is whether the Lions have got tongues*? And What about the shoes on the Danube’s embankment?

 

Hungary has lots of great history, and lot’s of great things you can find here, from the latest supermarket to a thousands of years Roman ruins. So if you have no plan for your summer vacation, come to Budapest.

Visit the most amazing city ever!

 

 

*I think they do have tongues :), but this can stay a Hungarian disagreement forever!
