It is the third southernmost public road bridge in Budapest, located at the southern end of the City Centre. It was originally named Ferenc József híd.<br /> At its two ends are two public squares, Gellért tér (at the foot of Gellért Hill, with the Gellért Spa and Hotel Gellért) and Fővám tér (with the Great Market Hall).<br /> The Liberty Bridge is the shortest bridge in Budapest's center. Initially built as part of the Millennium World Exhibition at the end of the 19th century, the bridge features Art Nouveau design, mythological sculptures and the country's coat of arms adorned on its side.<br /> The northeastern house contains a museum on the bridges of Budapest. The bridge was the first in the city to be rebuilt after suffering heavy damage during World War II.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/54878070@N02/">Wiggy66</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/54878070@N02/54697012983/" title="Shanghai Airlines B787-9"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54697012983_89cd9e797c_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Shanghai Airlines B787-9" /></a></p> <p>BUD 19/06/2025</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/victorsilaghi/">Victor Silaghi</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/victorsilaghi/54697148365/" title="9130 - 76 - 25.07.2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54697148365_15f6529a13_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="9130 - 76 - 25.07.2025" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/victorsilaghi/">Victor Silaghi</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/victorsilaghi/54696814281/" title="5000 + 8119 - 25.07.2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54696814281_f3e0efc024_m.jpg" width="240" height="217" alt="5000 + 8119 - 25.07.2025" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/victorsilaghi/">Victor Silaghi</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/victorsilaghi/54697055864/" title="5000 - 25.07.2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54697055864_af088d3aed_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="5000 - 25.07.2025" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/andreaguagni72/">andrea.guagni 7,9 Million</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreaguagni72/54696927049/" title="National Theatre, Budapest (Hungary)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54696927049_6f7a5e27ed_m.jpg" width="240" height="154" alt="National Theatre, Budapest (Hungary)" /></a></p> <p>The National Theatre, located in Budapest originally opened in 1837. Since then, it has occupied several locations, including the original building at Kerepesi Street, the People's Theatre at Blaha Lujza Square, as well as Hevesi Sándor Square, its longest temporary location. It currently occupies the National Theatre building, which opened March 15, 2002.<br /> The concept of a national theatre in Budapest was born at the turn of the 18th-19th century, promoted by influential thinkers including Ferenc Kazinczy and Baron István Széchenyi. Széchenyi was a major figure in Hungary's reform. He dreamed of a great building on the bank of the Danube that would operate in the form of a joint-stock company. He proposed his plans in his 1832 pamphlet, A Magyar Játékszínről.<br /> The Hungarian Parliament made the decision to move forward with a national theatre in its 41st article of 1836. Led by Antal Grassalkovich, construction began in 1835 on Kerepesi Street. With a company assembled in the previous four years by András Fáy and Gábor Döbrentei (playing in the Court Theatre of Buda), the theatre opened on August 22, 1837, under the name Pesti Magyar Színház (Hungarian Theatre of Pest). Its goals were to give birth to the national drama and to showcase classics of world literature. Nationalized in 1840, the name was changed to the National Theatre, which it still holds today.<br /> The National Theatre building was demolished in the 1900s. The company moved to the People's Theatre at Blaha Lujza Square in 1908. In the following decades, the company was only a tenant of People's Theatre, and the building's state continually deteriorated. In 1963, authorities decided to demolish it, citing metro line construction as the reasoning. Operation ceased one year later, and the building was demolished on April 23, 1965. The company transferred to the renovated Petőfi Theatre (today is known as Thália), in Nagymező Street. Two years later, it relocated again to the former Magyar Theatre in Hevesi Sándor Square.<br /> After the demolition of the People's Theatre, a proposal was made to build the new theater in the City Park, at Felvonulási Square. An international design contest for the new theatre was held in 1965. No first place prize was awarded, and instead the second place prize was shared between the plans of Miklós Hofer and Jan Bogusławski - Bohdan Golebiewski. The planning, led by Hofer, stretched on for the better part of two decades. The building permit was finally granted in 1985, but the construction work went no further than chopping down a few trees. In 1988, a tender was held for a new location and Engels Square (today Erzsébet Square) was chosen. Another decade passed without any progress. In 1996, Parliament agreed to move on to the next phase. However, the project was delayed again due to political quarrels over the next several years. The project resumed again with architect Ferenc Bán being declared the winner, but the newly elected government stopped the work, finding it too costly.<br /> In 1999, ministry commissioner György Schwajda commissioned Mária Siklós to make plans for a building at a new location Essenza, the bank of the Danube. This decision was met with anger from the Hungarian architect community, and a bid was held. György Vadász's won the bid. He did not modify Siklós's plans further, and construction began with Siklós's plans on September 14, 2000. The new National Theatre opened on March 15, 2002, Hungary's National Day.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/andreaguagni72/">andrea.guagni 7,9 Million</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreaguagni72/54697020710/" title="Hotel Gellert, Budapest (Hungary)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54697020710_4b66e3b68d_m.jpg" width="240" height="148" alt="Hotel Gellert, Budapest (Hungary)" /></a></p> <p>The Hotel Gellért is a historic Art Nouveau hotel established in 1918 and located on the west bank of the Danube in Budapest, Hungary.<br /> The hotel closed for renovations on December 1, 2021, and is scheduled to reopen in 2027 as Mandarin Oriental Gellert, Budapest.<br /> Construction on the Hotel Saint Gellért started in April 1911. The hotel was named for Saint Gellért (St. Gerard Sagredo), the first bishop of Hungary in the 11th Century. The 176-room hotel was designed by Hungarian architects Ármin Hegedűs, Artúr Sebestyén and Izidor Sterk. Work on the hotel slowed due to World War I, and it did not open until 26 September 1918, just as the war was ending and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was descending into chaos.<br /> The hotel was commandeered for military use throughout 1919, during the Aster Revolution, the Hungarian Soviet Republic and the Romanian occupation of Budapest. When Admiral Miklós Horthy led the forces of the Hungarian National Army into the city, on 16 November 1919, he made the hotel his headquarters, and gave a speech to the huge crowd gathered outside.<br /> Once Hungary was established as an independent country, the hotel proved so financially successful that it was expanded in 1927 with 60 more guest rooms and an outdoor artificial wave pool built on the site of the hotel's gardens. Noted Hungarian restaurateur Károly Gundel took over management of the hotel's restaurants in 1927 as well. In 1934, the &quot;thermal bath&quot; was added, in place of the hotel's glass-domed Winter Garden.<br /> The hotel remained open throughout most of World War II, until it closed on 26 December 1944, as the Siege of Budapest began. It was bombed out and largely destroyed in January 1945. The wave pool reopened in summer 1945. Post-war Communist authorities removed the &quot;St.&quot; from the hotel's name and it became the Hotel Gellért. The Gellért Hill wing of the hotel reopened on 26 March 1946, with 50 rooms, using the baths entrance on Kelenhegyi Street. The hotel's first guests were Danish relief workers bringing food aid. The hotel's Marble Room restaurant reopened soon after, on 20 August 1946, just after the new currency, the forint had been introduced, to stabilize the Hungarian economy.<br /> The restaurants leased by the Gundel family were nationalized in 1948, after which the entire establishment was state-owned and operated. The main Danube River wing of the hotel was rebuilt starting in 1956 and was officially reopened in 1960. While the facade was restored to its pre-war appearance, the hotel's interiors were rebuilt in a modern style. In 1972, the Gellért Hill wing, which had not been part of the 1956-1960 renovations, was completely reconstructed.<br /> Danubius Hotels assumed management of the hotel in 1981. After the company was privatized in 1992, it purchased the hotel outright in June 1996[6] and it became the Danubius Hotel Gellért.<br /> On June 24, 2019, Danubius sold the hotel to Indotek, an investment group, which announced plans to renovate and restore the Gellért and reposition it as a five-star luxury hotel, under the management of an international chain. The hotel closed for renovations on December 1, 2021, and ceased to be operated by Danubius Hotels at that point.[8] Indotek sold the shuttered hotel in December 2022 to BDPST Group, owned by István Tiborcz, son-in-law of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.<br /> On December 22, 2023, it was announced that the hotel will be operated by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group as the Mandarin Oriental Gellert, Budapest when it reopens in 2027. Design work will be done by London-based Alexander Waterworth Interiors Ltd. The historic Main Lobby, Danube Room, Music Room and Tapestry Room will be restored to their original state, based on historic photographs and plans. The remainder of the building will house 143 rooms, including 38 suites.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/100954775@N03/">Norbert Bánhidi</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100954775@N03/54695859632/" title="Lada 2101"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54695859632_d3486d8b2d_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Lada 2101" /></a></p> <p>Lada 2101 seen in Várnegyed (Castle District), Budapest, Hungary - October 2024</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/100954775@N03/">Norbert Bánhidi</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100954775@N03/54695859547/" title="Lada 2101"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54695859547_81a89d4ee0_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Lada 2101" /></a></p> <p>Lada 2101 seen in Várnegyed (Castle District), Budapest, Hungary - October 2024</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sevdelin_atanasov/">sevdelinkata</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sevdelin_atanasov/54696258241/" title="Budapest, Hungary"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54696258241_ef18500d00_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Budapest, Hungary" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lukedrich_photography/">lukedrich_photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lukedrich_photography/54695039492/" title="Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54695039492_0bc527f132_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Budapest" /></a></p> <p>Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest</a><br /> <br /> Budapest is the capital and most populous city of Hungary.

It is the tenth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and the second-largest city on the river Danube. The estimated population of the city in 2025 is 1,782,240. This includes the city's population and surrounding suburban areas, over a land area of about 525 square kilometres (203 square miles). Budapest, which is both a city and municipality, forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres (2,944 square miles) and a population of 3,019,479. It is a primate city, constituting 33% of the population of Hungary.<br /> <br /> The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Re-established Buda became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. The Battle of Mohács, in 1526, was followed by nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest of Buda in 1686, the region entered a new age of prosperity, with Pest-Buda becoming a global city after the unification of Buda, Óbuda and Pest on 17 November 1873, with the name 'Budapest' given to the new capital. Budapest also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved in 1918, following World War I. The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the Battle of Budapest in 1945, as well as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.<br /> <br /> Budapest is a global city with strengths in commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. Budapest is Hungary's financial centre. Budapest hosts the headquarters of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the European Police College and the first foreign office of the China Investment Promotion Agency. Over 40 colleges and universities are located in Budapest, including Eötvös Loránd University, Corvinus University, Semmelweis University, University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Opened in 1896, the city's subway system, the Budapest Metro, serves 1.27 million, while the Budapest Tram Network serves 1.08 million passengers daily.<br /> <br /> The central area of Budapest along the Danube is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has several notable monuments of classical architecture, including the Hungarian Parliament and the Buda Castle.
