Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is it? We had learned this in history classes and I eagerly opened this to see the Pictures in fact. And it looks excellent though I wish there was more of it as we know this place must have many more iconic and unique Places and buildings.
If my memory is correct what I learned during school, there is also a river that defines the culture and identity of this place. Some of your pictures looks really interesting to make it as a place in the bucket Iist that I wish to travel, but I know it will only remain as dream, but you know in our country there is no tax for dreams, hehe... just kidding.

That's right, Budapest is the capital of Hungary. We hear a lot about so many places in class but it sure helps to see actual pictures of those places, otherwise they just remain abstract.
You're right too about the river Danube, which flows through the city and separates it in half, Buda and Pest, which used to be two different cities. The Danube actually flows through many other European cities, such as Vienna or Bratislava, but we felt its beauty and majesty were really enhanced in Budapest.
Thanks for your comment anyway and we're glad this post made you travel to this stunning place for a while. As you said, dreams are free! ^^ And we can always hope they eventually come true. :)
Sometimes I too travel in my country, and as you said it really makes an awesome feeling when we see some places and eventually gets to know we were knowing this place as we studied long time back. I heard about the river but never know that Buda and Pest are two different locations.
Some great rivers are lifeline of City's and sometimes different countries which defines the culture since ancient times, I believe Danube is one such one.
Your Post was good with stunning photos. Have a nice day. Cheers

That’s a great feeling indeed to discover in real life these places that have appealed to our imagination as kids. It’s part of the magic of travelling. :)
I didn’t know either that Buda and Pest used to be two different towns so that was a fun fact to discover.
It’s true that rivers are an important part in the identity of many cities. Here in France and where I live especially, the Seine river has been a key inspiration for Impressionist painters. Same for the Danube which was the central theme of Strauss’ musical masterpiece. So it’s always interesting to see how rivers have inspired many people so powerfully throughout the years.
Thanks again for your nice comment and have nice day as well!
