Христос се роди / Little guide through Budapest

Мир Божији, Христос се роди!
*****************************************************

Today is actually my Christmas but I didn't have a time to make a post dedicated to this big holiday. But two days ago I made one post that I think you will really like. I didn't actually plan this post, but considering how many of you have told me that you are planning to visit Budapest in the near future, I decided to make a small guide for you through the city. I will extract just a few things that you must see if you ever end up in this city.

SREĆAN BOŽIĆ svima koji ga danas slave! Na žalost nisam stigla da napravim post posvećen ovom velikom prazniku (sram me bilo), ali nešto što sam još pre dva dana pripremila za vas, nadam se da će biti dobra zamena. Ovaj post inače i nisam planirala, ali s obzirom na to koliko vas mi je reklo da planira da poseti Budimpeštu u skorije vreme, odlučila sam na vam napravim mali vodič kroz ovaj grad. Izdvojiću samo nekoliko znamenitosti koje treba videti.

1. I'll start with a place that has become a symbol of Budapest - Heroes' Square. It is the largest square in the town and rarely ever tourist goes there without the camera. In the center of the square is the Millennium Monument - Archangel Gabriel with a cross and a crown, and there is a tomb of the unknown soldier. On the left side of the square is the Museum of Fine Arts, and behind City Square Park which probably looks much nicer in the spring or summer.

Počeću od nečega što je postalo simbol Budimpešte - trg Heroja. To je ujedno i najveći trg u gradu pored kog retko koji turista prođe a da ne izvadi fotoparat. U centru trga je spomenik Milenijum - Arhangel Gabrijel sa krunom i krstom, a tu je i Grob neznanog junaka. Sa leve strane trga je Muzej lepih umetnosti, a iza trga ćete videti Gradski park koji verujem da u proleće ili leto mnogo lepše izgleda.

2. Since I mentioned City Park, I can not leave out one of the largest and most beautiful skating rink in Europe which is located next to this park. As you can see in the picture, it's outdoor skating rink that looks amazing. And what will probably all of you surprise is that this is actually a lake which is used for ice skating in winter and enjoying in the boat during the summer.

Kada sam već kroz priču stigla do Gradskog parka, ne smem nikako izostaviti jedno od najvećih i najlepših klizališta u Evropi koje se nalazi odmah pored. Kao što vidite na slici, u pitanju je otvoreno klizalište koje stvarno predivno izgleda. A ono što će verovatno sve vas iznenaditi jeste da je ovo zapravo jezero koje zimi služi za klizanje po ledu, a leti za uživanje na brodiću.

 

3. When you visit a City Park and ice skating rink, something that can not be overlooked is this magical castle Vajdahuyad. The moment I saw it, it reminded me of Harry Potter. I know that it has nothing to do with it, but it has something with the castle in Transylvania (Romania) - the same name.

Kada obiđete Gradski park i klizalište, nešto što vam nikako ne može promaknuti jeste ovaj čarobni zamak Vajdahuyad. U momentu kada sam ga ugledala podsetio me na Harry Pottera. Koliko znam nema nikakve veze sa tim, ali zato ima sa istoimenim zamkom u Transilvaniji (Rumunija) po kom je i projektovan.

4. Now let's get a little closer to the Danube River. When it comes to bridges, this city really has something to be proud of. However, I will extract only one (Chain Bridge), because I do not want to discover you everything...the rest you will see live when you visit this capital city of Hungary. This Chain Bridge actually connects Buda and Pest (eastern and western parts of Budapest).

Hajdemo sada malo bliže Dunavu. Kada su mostovi u pitanju, ovaj grad zaista ima čime da se pohvali. Ipak, izdvojiću samo jedan (Lančani most), jer ne želim baš sve da vam otkrivam...ostatak ćete videti live kada posetite ovu mađarsku prestonicu. Ovo je inače most koji spaja Budim i Peštu (istočni i zapadni deo Budimpešte). 

5. When you cross the bridge you just must visit the Fisherman's Bastion - the place with the most beautiful view of the city. I would say that this is one of the most interesting buildings in Budapest. It consists of seven towers, each representing a single Hungarian tribe. Within these walls is the church of King Matthias and the monument of St. Stephen.

Kada pređete most prosto morate obići i Ribarsku tvrđavu - mesto sa najlepšim pogledom na grad. Rekla bih da je ovo jedna od najinteresantnijih građevina u Budimpešti. Sastoji se od sedam tornjeva, a svaki predstavlja po jedno mađarsko pleme. Unutar tih zidina nalazi se i Crkva kralja Matije, kao i spomenik svetog Stefana.

 

6. Something that you will surely notice from the walls of the Fisherman's Bastion is the Hungarian Parliament building. It is the third largest parliament in the world and second in Europe, and it really looks fantastic.

Ono što ćete sigurno uočiti sa zidina Ribarske tvrđave jeste zgrada Mađarskog parlamenta. To je treći po veličini parlament u svetu, a drugi u Evropi, i zaista izgleda fantastično. 

7. Nex to the above-mentioned Chain Bridge you will see another interesting building (read: building of Hungarian Academy of Sciences). It is located at the Roosevelt Square and that's the place where many cultural events and concerts are organized.

Kod već spomenutog Lančanog mosta uvidećete još jednu interesantnu zgradu (čitaj: zgrada Mađarske akademije Nauka). Ona se nalazi na Ruzveltovom trgu, urađena je u neorenesanskom stilu i upravo tu se održavaju velike kulturne manifestacije i koncerti.

8. When you get in the center of the city, what you should be looking for is the Vaci street. There you will find numerous shops and restaurants, and what should I set aside there is the Hard Rock Cafe - a perfect place for relaxing, dining and drinking. When you enter the first thing you will see is clothes, because this cafe has its own boutique. But when you go downstairs, you will see a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff.

Kada stignete u centar grada, ono što treba da tražite jeste Vaci ulica. Tamo vas čekaju mnogobrojni butici i restorani, a ono što bih ja eto izdvojila jeste Hard Rock cafe - pravo mesto za odmaranje, kafenisanje i obedovanje. Kada uđete prvo što ćete videti jesu raznorazne krpice, jer se u sklopu ovog kafića nalazi i njihov butik. Ali kada siđete dole dočekaće vas divna atmosfera, ukusna hrana i prijatno osoblje.

9. Another cafe which I need to set aside is Anna cafe, and I recommend you the one that is situated in Vaci Street. Warm yourself with a cup of tea, taste some cakes or coffees that they offer, recharge your batteries and continue sightseeing.

Još jedan kafić koji moram izdvojiti jeste Anna cafe, i to preporučujem onaj u već spomenutoj Vaci ulici. Zagrejte se čajem, zasladite kolačem, probajte neku od kafi koje nude, napunite baterije i nastavite razgledanje grada.

10. Under the 10th item I put everything else. A lot of things I left out from the list, leaving you to find on your own, and lots of things I haven't see because I left them for a warmer days, but all in all I hope that this will more or less help you if you are planning to visit this city...and also I hope that I determined for at least a few of you your next destination.

Pod desetom stavkom stavljam sve ostalo. Mnogo toga sam izostavila sa liste i prepustila vama da sami pronađete, mnogo toga i sama nisam videla jer sam ostavila za neke malo lepše dane, ali sve u svemu nadam se da će vam i ovo koliko-toliko značiti ukoliko planirate da posetite ovaj grad...a isto tako se nadam da sam barem nekima od vas ovim postovima odredila sledeću destinaciju.
