The History of Vorosmarty Ter (Square) in Budapest

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dante Mena and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village in Budapest, Hungary. I'm the author of this travel guide. It's one of the Hunter travel guides called Hungary. One of the aspects of Virtish Martieut is very typical of Budapest. Budapest is a city of the neo-classical. Turn of the century, the Hapsburg dynasties used Budapest as one of the model cities of the empire. And at one time it even rivaled Vienna for the Hapsburg family. And they traveled back and forth, lived in the palace across the street, and often also came down here to Virtish Martie Tare and walked along Vaticut and these other streets that are located here. Behind me as I said before, is the Lutses Department Store. But you can see these lions in their facade below these fountains. And the statue of Virtish Martie is actually behind me in the middle of the square."
