Xpat Opinion: Budapest - The Basics
- 20 Dec 2012 8:00 AM

If you thought the only Hungarian connection to vampires is Bela Lugosi, and the only vampire connection to Prince Charles is Dracula – think again. Geneologists claim the connection comes from Princess Marie of Edinburgh (cousin of Charles’ great-grandfather) who married I Ferdinand of Romania.

- 27 Nov 2012 8:00 AM
- entertainment
More often than not, Budapest seems to slip off the radar of renowned touring acts. It’s an up-and-coming city confronted with a new found sense of capitalism. Inevitably, touring bands looking to stop where there’s an audience are starting to give Budapest the time of day and Dürer is proving to be the go-to venue.
