<p>Captured at the Hungarian Railway Museum (Magyar Vasúttörténeti Park) in Budapest, this is the MÁV Pft 661-U, a specialized track-inspection vehicle.<br />
<br />
Based on the Polish-built FSO Warszawa M20 (a licensed version of the Soviet GAZ-M20 Pobeda), these &quot;sínautók&quot; (rail-cars) were modified by the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) for maintenance and inspection duties. While the body remains largely stock—complete with its 2.1L inline-four engine—the original tires were swapped for flanged steel wheels to navigate the standard gauge tracks.<br />
<br />
To solve the issue of reversing on rails, these cars were equipped with a mechanical center-jack under the chassis, allowing the driver to lift and manually rotate the entire vehicle 180° on the spot. Though the original car could reach 105 km/h, railway safety regulations typically capped these draisines at 80 km/h. Today, it stands as a rare survivor of the roughly 200 Warszawa rail-conversions ever produced.</p>

<p>Here is a collage of photos taken inside the Szimpla Kert Ruin Bars - we arrived on opening time, 3pm, and treated ourselves to soft drinks there. It was all very calm when we were there, but I can imagine there's a different vibe after dark. We bought our coke, lemonade and orange juice from the bar, bottom right photo - we know how to live it up!!<br />
<br />
<i>Szimpla Kert is one of the best bustling ruin bars in Budapest, and the oldest of them all, with a vibrant atmosphere, eclectic crowds on most nights, enjoying a live concert, film screening, chatting, people watching and clubbing. Spot on. Drinks are mostly (including craft beers and cocktails) at reasonable prices. The ruin bar offers fresh bakery products, home made style street foods, and delicious warm meals too.<br />
All in all, Szimpla Kert (which literally means Simple Garden) is the grandfathers of Budapst ruins and an amazing community place, the oldest of all, with a great vibe, minimum 3 concerts a week free of charge. To boot, every Sunday there is a  Farmer’s &amp; Flea Market (where even  shisha awaits guests) with traditional and alternative foods, farmer’s fresh produces, jams, honeys, fruits, veggies, etc.<br />
Discover the nooks and crannies of the maze in Szimpla Kert ruin bar (it is a labyrinth of multiple rooms of various sizes). The pub is largely open air, so in winter bring a coat. If you feel overcrowded just hop into another nearby ruin bar. If you are need of guidance, book a ruin bar pub crawl in Budapest and get some insider tips and safe guidance from a professional pub crawl guide.<br />
It is probably the most touristy ruin bar of Budapest but the most funky and unique, too. Relaxed during the day, busy at night, the dog- and bicycle friendly Szimpla Kert is a great place to enjoy the atmosphere if you like indie things, independent art, films, people, good music, or if you just want to chill or have fun and meet new people from all over the world. There is a living library, lots of workshops and meet ups by day time, and let’s not forget their delicious weekend brunches (Saturday and Sunday, normally until 2pm).</i> (From ruinbarsbudapest.com)</p>

<p>El interior de San Esteban es muy rico en obras de arte, con mosaicos, estatuas o pinturas de importantes artistas húngaros. Aunque el principal tesoro que guarda la iglesia es la mano derecha incorrupta del rey San Esteban I,  principal reliquia del templo.<br />

<p>La Basílica de San Esteban es de estilo neoclásico y tiene planta de cruz griega. San Esteban tiene unas dimensiones poderosas. Mide 87 metros de largo por 55 metros de ancho, alcanzando una altura máxima de 96 metros, siendo exactamente igual de alta que el Parlamento. Un gran templo para hacer los honores a San Esteban I, el primer rey de Hungría y quien instauró el cristianismo en el reino.</p>
