Uniquely Hungary: Insider's Guide To Vác, By Anne Zwack
- 23 Jun 2023 7:25 AM
- getting around
Monosyllabic and a little difficult to pronounce, Vác does not sound like an inviting place. It is, however, one of the loveliest small towns in Hungary, or as they say in Italian, a laughing little town. 35 kilometres from Budapest, it has escaped unscathed all the ravages of the sixties and seventies, preserved like a fly in amber so that it looks today much as it must have in the eighteenth ...

- getting around
Take a walk through downtown Budapest, whether it’s the more shabby-chic feel of the inner VII District or its grittier neighbour in the VIII, you’ll find street art and murals adorning Budapest’s once empty 'firewalls', decorating boring business buildings, and lifting up the crumbling walls of old apartment blocks.
Uniquely Hungary: The Ugliest Statue In Budapest, By Anne Zwack

At a time when statues are going up all over Budapest I would like to nominate a candidate for the ugliest statue in town. You should drive up above the Gellért Hotel to the corner of Minerva and Pipacs utca where the one time Swedish Legation is located.
Uniquely Hungary: Budaörs's Redeeming Features, By Anne Zwack
- 29 Oct 2015 12:30 AM
- getting around
Budaörs is not a very charismatic place. We usually drive through it with blinkers on our way to Ikea. And yet it has a very ancient history, going back to the Bronze Age 3.500 years ago.
