This video is a tribute to the beauty of Budapest our Nation's Capital. The current character of the city was developed mainly during the 19th century until the Millennium Celebrations in 1896. On the old postcards you can see the city without smog and traffic jams in its original magnificence accompanied with the music composed by Ferenc Erkel.
The history of Budapest goes back to the ancient times. In the area of the Gellérthegy and Tabán remains of Celtic villages were found. After the Hungarian Conquest in 896 Árpád and his first troops settled in here. King Béla IV ordered to build the first castle of Buda in the 13th century. In 1361 it became the capital of Hungary. King Matthias had his famous Renaissance court in the Castle of Buda during the 15th century. In 1867 the age of the Compromise Buda and Pest became the twin capital of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire with Vienna. In 1873 Buda and Pest were officially merged with the third part, Óbuda (Ancient Buda). At the turn of the 20th century were the golden ages of the city, the most beautiful buildings have already existed, but after the 2nd World War they had to be reconstructed. You can find some shocking pictures about the destruction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLo2MLNxV_s

  • Budapest 100 éve: európai, művészi, minőségi, kifinomult, patinás, harmonikus, rendezett, tiszta.

    Budapest ma: balkáni, proli, igénytelen, silány, lepusztult, rendezetlen, összevissza, mocskos, gazdátlan.

  • Pedig a romokból épült újra! Több növényt és kevesebb autót a belvárosba! :-)

  • Sajnos azota 110 ev telt el,akkor meg nem volt ossze zsufolva Budapest!

    Levegos tagas terek,szep muemlek epuletek, mind ez mar a multe,ami meg maradt, a pusztulasi alapotban talalhato javareszt!

  • Megszakad a szívem, ha ilyen videókat nézek.

    Szégyen, gyalázat hogy mi lett a városunkkal. Egyetértek belerux-szal, balkániaskodott az egész.

    Először is a fejekben kellene rendet tenni, mert van mit.

  • Legfőképpen az épületállományt kellene felújítani. Szépen házról házra, modernizálni és megszépíteni, mint Bécsben vagy Prágában tették. Ha a rendszerváltáskor elkezdték volna, ma úgy ragyoghatna a város mint Bécs.
