'We Care' Program At Hilton Budapest Hotel

- specials
What do we mean by "We care"? Exactly what we say! But the thinking behind it encapsulates the aims and endeavours of the Hilton hotels regarding environmental protection. Hilton launched its “we care” program worldwide in 2006. The directors understood that something really had to be done to prevent global warming, with its catastrophic consequences, and to protect the environment, especially in ...
Xpat Opinion: Budapest Chinese Market Closing?
- 20 Sep 2012 1:03 AM
- shopping
2014 Update: It was closed down. Hungary is not the most multicultural nation on the planet. 95% Magyar, 2% Roma, and the rest of us. Around 100,000 Chinese live in Hungary, and Budapest has its own Chinatown, well, a sprawling China-shanty-town.

- 29 Aug 2012 9:04 AM
- getting around
I have been cycling up to Romai Part and Szentendre for years, and have always loved the four water and coal-clock towers at the old gas works. Luckily they have managed to survive (so far) the reconstruction of the old chemical works as an industrial park. In 1908 a municipal decision was made to replace several obsolete gas factories with a single new facility.
