Strolling around Budapest

Hi. I'm back from vacations and ready to begin working on new designs for Lirio, new projects, some study and to continue my very intense physical training (more on that in following days).
But first I want to show you some photos of Budapest. A fantastically beautiful city.
I'll be showing you my trip images in 4 parts so you won't get annoyed with too many photos.
Let's begin.
Budapest, January  2010.



A brilliant day to go up the hill and watch the city in all her splendor from the Royal Palace.




At the feet of the Palace Hill the Danube. This is the Chain Bridge, one of the many bridges that comunicate Buda and its hills with Pest at the other shore. The art nouveau building in front of the bridge is the Gresham Palace, nowadays a hotel.
I loved to cross that bridge, at day and at night time.



The city extends along the Danube with impressive buildings like this one:




The Parliament



To my left the Fishermen's Bastion, a fairy tale - like construction built solely as a viewing platform. Behind that... the Buda hills.
Tomorrow I will show you some streets and squares of Budapest.
