Budapest

Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue :

Hi Today I have received this awesome UNESCO Postcard from Budapest. Thanks you very much Gál József for sending such a beautiful card. This is my first card from Hungary. This is malti-view cards . Most of the site are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

The World Heritage Site consists of the area on the Buda side between the University of Technology buildings and the Lanchid (Chain Bridge), including the Gellert spa baths, the Freedom Statue and the Citadel on Gellert Hill, and the buildings of the Buda Castle. On the Pest side the area includes the Parliament building, Roosevelt Square at the Pest end of the Lanchid, together with the Hungarian Academy of Science and the Gresham palace. The four bridges over the Danube in this area are also a part of the World Heritage Site.
