Download or read book Budapest written by Victor Sebestyen and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A vivid and enthralling account of the historical and cultural events that defined Budapest, a unique city in the heart of Europe, on the fault line between East and West—from the critically acclaimed author of Lenin “A compelling portrait of one of the most important cities in Europe. Full of sharp insights, elegant writing and vivid characters.” —Andrew Roberts, author of The Chief Victor Sebestyen has written a sweeping, colorful and immersive history of the capital of Hungary, from the fifth century to the present day: a metropolis whose location in Europe has marked it as a crucial city—at times rich and prosperous, at times enduring unbearable hardship. It has stood at the center of the world-changing historical developments for hundreds of years: the Muslim invasion, The Reformation, both World Wars, fascism, the Holocaust and Communism. Sebestyen mixes colorful details and anecdotes about the people, streets and neighborhoods of his hometown with its rich cultural legacy of literature, music, and architecture. He shows how its people have shifted culturally, politically and emotionally between East and West, through many revolutions, bloody battles, uprisings, and wars of conquest won and lost. He vividly brings to life the many rulers: the ruthless early Magyar, Hun, and Mongol chieftains, celebrated medieval kings and princes, Ottoman Turks, and the Hapsburgs, including the beloved Empress Elisabeth (“Sisi”). We also learn about colorful figures in politics, the arts and the sciences, among them Theodor Herzl, father of modern political Zionism; film pioneer Alexander Korda who held court with the director of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz, young reporter Billy Wilder, and photographer Robert Capa in the glamorous New York Café still going today; Edward Teller, inventor of the H bomb; and Countess Elisabeth Báthory, a cousin of the King of Poland, who became a serial killer, among many others. Sebestyen’s compelling history of Budapest is a lively page-turner as well as being uniquely revelatory and authoritative account of one of the most important cities of Europe.

Download or read book Budapest Travel Guide written by Daniel Windsor and published by Interactive Media Licensing. This book was released on 2024-05-25 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is often referred to as the "Paris of the East." This vibrant city is known for its stunning architecture, rich history, and lively cultural scene. Divided by the majestic Danube River, Budapest consists of two main parts: Buda and Pest. Buda is the hilly, historical side, offering spectacular views and a wealth of ancient buildings. In contrast, Pest is the flat, bustling urban heart, home to many of the city's modern attractions and amenities. The city's origins date back to Roman times, and its long history is reflected in its diverse architectural styles, from Roman ruins and Gothic churches to Baroque buildings and Art Nouveau structures. Budapest is not just a visual feast; it also boasts a wide range of thermal baths, thanks to its location on a patchwork of thermal springs. These baths, some of which date back to the Turkish occupation, provide a unique way to relax and soak in the city's historic atmosphere. In recent years, Budapest has become a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors from around the world. It offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, culture, food, or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. From the grandeur of the Parliament building to the charm of the Buda Castle, the city is full of iconic landmarks that captivate and inspire. Budapest's culinary scene is another highlight, blending traditional Hungarian flavors with modern culinary trends. Street food stalls, cozy cafes, and fine dining restaurants offer a taste of the local cuisine, which includes hearty dishes like goulash and chimney cake. The city's markets, especially the Great Market Hall, are perfect for exploring Hungarian food culture and picking up local delicacies. The city's vibrant nightlife, characterized by its famous ruin bars, also attracts a younger crowd. These unique bars, often set in the ruins of abandoned buildings, provide an eclectic and lively atmosphere where you can enjoy drinks and music late into the night. Overall, Budapest is a city that combines old-world charm with modern energy, making it a must-visit destination for travelers looking to experience the best of both worlds.
