Plenty of cars, pedestrians in limited number.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jainbow/">Jainbow</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jainbow/55130738727/" title="Lion Fountain, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55130738727_c8baebbf1e_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Lion Fountain, Budapest" /></a></p> <p>We decided to see if we could find the statue of Columbo and his dog, so this required another tram ride from Vörösmarty Square, which was conveniently close to our hotel. I stopped to take a photo of this fountain while we were walking around the area. <br /> <br /> <i>Vörösmarty Square is one of the busiest places in the downtown section of Budapest. This area is a hubbub of activity, boasting luxury stores, antique shops, a famous pastry shop and several other retailing establishments. It is also the start of the city’s most famous shopping street, Váci Utca. Nearby stands the Lion Fountain (Oroszlános kút), a popular meeting point. Children love to climb on the lion statues, and tourists often rest on the fountain’s steps. The fountain was built in 1985 at the site of a well. It was created by László Wild and sculptor Ágnes Péter, who was responsible for the lion statues. The four stone lions surround an ornate iron lamppost, which dates from an earlier period.</i>(From aviewoncities.com)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jainbow/">Jainbow</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jainbow/55131816763/" title="Brexit Bear, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55131816763_ef06eefe09_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Brexit Bear, Budapest" /></a></p> <p>Here you can see the location of the teddy sculpture - quite high on the wall! I wonder how many people walk past completely unaware!<br /> <br /> <i>Mr. Bean's Teddy in Budapest is a small bronze statue created by artist Mihály Kolodko. It is located on the wall of the former British Embassy at Harmincad utca 6, in District V, near Elizabeth Square and the Kempinski Hotel. The, sculpture is part of a series of mini-guerrilla art pieces hidden throughout the city.</i> (From Google AI)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/petrhorak/">Petr Horak</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/petrhorak/55131133999/" title="Budapest night"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55131133999_1489c0d97e_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Budapest night" /></a></p> <p>Sunday 07-Feb-2026, 17:17:22.<br /> <br /> Vár, Gimnázium utca, Buda, Víziváros, 1st district, Budapest, Central Hungary, 1015, Hungary, HUN, altitude 158.75 m.<br /> <br /> NIKON CORPORATION NIKON D780, serial number 6002739, VR 24-70mm f/2.8E, 62 mm, F/8, 1.6 s, ISO 100.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.deadmount.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.deadmount.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/kareszzz/">kareszzz</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kareszzz/55131133504/" title="Take-off"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55131133504_1bce2155ed_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Take-off" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/131947100@N08/">kud4ipad</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/131947100@N08/55131056184/" title="Market"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55131056184_37ba8e0158_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Market" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bombito2010/">Frederico Domondon Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bombito2010/55129708602/" title="IMG_5902 (1)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55129708602_29926c897e_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="IMG_5902 (1)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/bombito2010/">Frederico Domondon Photography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bombito2010/55129710427/" title="IMG_5902 (1)-3"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55129710427_56b323ae4b_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="IMG_5902 (1)-3" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jainbow/">Jainbow</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jainbow/55130409191/" title="Anna Cafe, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55130409191_d86e380489_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Anna Cafe, Budapest" /></a></p> <p>For lunch, after we'd visited Madame Tussauds and Pop&amp;Roll, we walked a little way down the street and chose Anna Cafe.

It was quite a challenge but we found it quicker than we'd expected!<br /> <br /> <i>With the UK finally exiting the European Union after a protracted withdrawal period, Kolodko has decided that we all need a bit of comforting with his latest piece, Brexit.<br /> Mounted on the wall of the former British Embassy at Harmincad utca, this bear will be instantly recognizable to most as Mr. Bean’s beloved Teddy. In divisive times, it may help bring a little comfort to a fractured union.</i> (From budapestflow.com)<br /> <br /> It may be controversial but I want my European friends to know, we didn't want Brexit to happen. We were sad with the direction things went in.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/27775023@N04/">B.Zoli</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/27775023@N04/55130416189/" title="Margit híd - Margaret Bridge"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55130416189_63f121c5bb_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Margit híd - Margaret Bridge" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/scatman_otis/">scatman otis</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/scatman_otis/55130166694/" title="Budapest January 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55130166694_d8ab532985_m.jpg" width="240" height="187" alt="Budapest January 2026" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/locosteve/">Loco Steve</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/locosteve/55105470493/" title="Fading Echoes: Abandoned MÁV Wooden Freight Wagon – Istvántelek, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55105470493_c905b4229a_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Fading Echoes: Abandoned MÁV Wooden Freight Wagon – Istvántelek, Budapest" /></a></p> <p>A haunting view of a decaying wooden freight wagon standing silent at the Istvántelek works yard (Istvántelki Főműhely) in Budapest, Hungary.<br /> <br /> Constructed in the early 20th century, these covered goods wagons were the workhorses of the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV). While once used for transporting goods across the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later the Eastern Bloc, this particular model is often associated with a darker chapter of history; similar wagons were notoriously used for the mass deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz during WWII.<br /> <br /> Today, the Istvántelek yard serves as a &quot;rusting museum&quot; where nature slowly reclaims some of Hungary's most legendary locomotives and rolling stock.<br /> <br /> History &amp; Context<br /> The Site: The Istvántelek Main Workshop was established between 1901 and 1905 as a premier repair hub for locomotives and carriages in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.<br /> <br /> The Wagon: This is a covered goods wagon featuring a wooden body on a steel chassis. These were versatile &quot;G-type&quot; wagons used for everything from grain to livestock.<br /> <br /> Wartime Significance: Historical researchers note that the 10-meter long wooden wagons seen at Istvántelek are the same models used by the Nazi SS and MÁV to transport over 400,000 Hungarian Jews in 1944. The presence of barbed wire or narrow, high-placed vents (as seen in the image) is a characteristic of these transport conversions.<br /> <br /> Current State: Most of the rolling stock at Istvántelek is technically owned by the Hungarian Railway Museum, but due to lack of funding, they remain in a state of &quot;stabilized decay&quot; within the partially active industrial site.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/i_csuhai/">Istvan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/i_csuhai/55129009132/" title="Hegedű utca"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55129009132_1a8aea8e97_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Hegedű utca" /></a></p> <p>A relatively small street in the downtown of Budapest.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/201306958@N06/">jcsmith30</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/201306958@N06/55130258120/" title="View"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55130258120_5090151dd4_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="View" /></a></p> <p>Badapest</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/europapont/">Európa Pont</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/europapont/55129576835/" title="2026.03.04.
