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 ...
Uniquely Hungary: Architecture In Budapest, By Anne Zwack

Budapest is a fast developing city. Not a month seems to go by without new building springing up or a busy city square getting a much needed renovation. Also gaining speed is the gentrification of certain neighborhoods in the city – particularly the Jewish Quarter in the centre.

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. Since then it was occupied by the Celts and the Romans and, at the beginning of the 1800’s, it was repopulated by what Wikipedia quaintly calls Schwabian peasants.
