100-year olds in Budapest

Budapest is a relatively young city, built most actively in the beginning of 20th century, which means that many of its buildings are celebrating their 100th anniversary these years.

To mark those occasions we have Budapest100—festival of one-hundred-year-old buildings, which will be held this time on 6-7 April, 2013. On these dates, 50 residential buildings and institutions will open up to the public.

The Budapest100 Festival program will include tours by architects, and public transport company BKV will run their Nostalgia tram service.

Christmas tram to Christmas market

The most popular Budapest tram line — No. 2 — got Christmas makeover with flashy trams. The tram runs along the Danube (so it's not only fun for passers-by with their cameras on, the passengers have the view too), and takes you right to Christmas markets on Vörösmarty tér and this year on Fővám tér too, right across from Central Market Hall. Happy whatever does not offend you, don't eat too much.

Garbage Day

Each year each Budapest district has Lomtalanítás - a day when you can get rid of your garbage, from old papers to sofa, for free. It is a day much loved both by those getting rid of their rubbish, and by those who can put their hands on it. And it is always a treasure hunt for crafty people not afraid of getting their hands dirty (literally). Let's take a look at Garbage Day 2012 in XI district on Buda side.

Flood 2010

Budapest Flood 2010

Whether caused by melting snow or excessive raining, flood comes to Budapest almost every year.

Nightmare for city budget and motorists, it is a spectacular event both for locals and tourists who come to the Danube embankment to gasp at the power of river and to take photos.
