Saturday 1 August 1998

Guten Morgen! Jó reggelt! Dobré ráno!

Twenty years ago today, I do something quite unusual. I visit a new country in its physical form, and visit another new country through the radio airwaves. And this is actually possible. How and where? More will be told in a bit. Here is the overview - wake up, have a shower (40 ATS fee with towel), have breakfast - take the tram line 51 to Westbahnhof - In the rail pass, write 01 on top and 08 on the bottom - Board the first class train to Budapest, leave about 10 AM - About 11:30 AM cross from Nickelsdorf (Austria) to Hegyeshalom (Hungary), get passport stamp - 1:30 PM At Budapest Keleti Pályaudvar, board bus to youth hostel - Check in to hostel, walk to the "Ferenciek Tere" metro station. Take M-3 to Déak Ferenc Tér - take M-1 "Földalatti" to Hösök Tere (Heroes Square) and admire the pillars and Angel Gabriel statue - take M-1 to Mexikói Út, eat something unusual at Burger King then back to Vörösmarty tér, buy Hungarian CDS at record shop near the Vigadó, and buy a funny souvenir T-Shirt - Walk along the Lánchid (chain bridge) across the Danube from Pest to Buda, take funicular to Buda Castle - Observe the castle and eastward view across the Danube, even see Parliament, pass by St Matyas church - take shuttle bus to Moszkva Tér and M-2 to Déli Pályaudvar, have sandwich and soft drink - take M-2 to Batthyáni tér, ride HÉV suburban train to Szépvölgyi út and back. - take M-2 to Pillangó utca, sun was starting to set, back to Vörösmarty tér - Chicken dinner at Vigadó and a Dréher beer, and Romani music including xylophone and violin - Take M-1 and M-3 back to Ferenciek Tere, walk to hostel, try to go to sleep in hostel dorm room. And that was all for that Saturday. But here is the more comprehensive story, feel free to read along.

Saturday 1st August 1998 it was declared official on many Austrian radio stations - the German grammar and punctuation reform had taken effect. And to think I was in Austria at that time too. I woke up about 7:30 AM, went to have a shower. To date, the only time I ever had to pay in a hotel to take a shower, was at Hotel Rustler. ?? It was not too bad, just 40 ATS for the key to the shower room and a towel. I had my toiletries with me. After I gave the key back, I was dressed for breakfast. Breakfast was included in the hotel stay. They had my favorites, namely breadrolls, butter, jams, coffee with milk, and deli meats. I remember distinctly in the breakfast room, that someone asked in German if they were allowed to smoke. The owner said please don't. ???????

About 8:30 AM it was time to head to Westbahnhof, but my train to Budapest would not leave until at least 10 AM. I took the tram line 51 to Westbahnhof, and I thought to take the U-6 a little ways up towards Michelbeuern AKH and back, just to kill time. Otherwise I would get on a train that I would have to transfer anyway. The train I was meant to take, it was air conditioned, had nice six-person compartments and restaurant car between first and second class. Before boarding the train, I made sure to mark the next free spaces with 01 on top and 08 on the bottom, leaving three more space pairs. ??

The train left at 10 AM, and would make the following stops Bruck an der Leitha Nickelsdorf (border) Hegyeshalom (border) Györ Tatabanya Budapest Keleti Pályaudvar and on to Szeged, Novi Sad and Subotica in the Vojvodina region of Serbia and finally in Belgrade.

I listened to some Vienna radio stations while the train was going through the Schwechat airport area. One song I heard was "Alles wird sich ändern" by the band Echt. The only other time I heard it on the radio was 8th September 2000 while in Stuttgart. FM4 was off the air as it was only an evening / nighttime channel, it was replaced by Blue Danube Radio until the switch at 6 PM. The last I heard on that station was Paul Young's 1983 hit "Wherever I lay my hat" cover version of Marvin Gaye, then Blue Danube mentioned the border crossing wait time, and for most of the day I heard almost only Hungarian and some slavic language.

The train arrived at Nickelsdorf about 11:30 AM to check for passports. ???????????? I received an exit stamp for Nickelsdorf, the usual Schengen stamp. About 15 minutes later the train arrived in Hegyeshalom on the Hungarian side. The ÖBB train locomotive was replaced by a MÁV locomotive (blue and yellow), and Hungarian customs came to my compartment to check and stamp passports. The stamp I received was red and green. After leaving Györ, there was a representative of the Hostelling International Hungarian chapter. She gave information on a program that the hostels participate in, to shuttle guests to hostels in Budapest near Keleti Pályaudvar, all I would need to do, was to find the shuttle bus, and ride along.

As for radio, between Györ and Tatabanya, I was able to pick up ?????? Slovak radio stations, cabaret comedy ??and music, as if I were actually in Slovakia and not Hungary. One song I remember was "Vsetko Je Inak" by Vidiek. Most of the other Slovak material was two-person standup comedy.

The train arrived about 1:30 PM and I found the shuttle, sort of east of the station. There must have been at least twelve people on that bus, as the Ford Transit non-turbo diesel engine was struggling to accelerate. I did find a hostel that was fairly central, the Apáczai Csere János High School and Dormitory, on Papnövelde u. 4, open for non-students during the summer. I had an ??eight person dorm room and access to the showers and bathroom, but no breakfast was offered. Cafes were far cheaper than in Vienna or even Prague, so finding a place for an affordable breakfast would not be a concern.

And now would be the first time that whatever I learned for Hungarian, would be put to the test. My only task at the time, would be to buy a day pass for the metro. And I had to remember, despite Hungary being next to Austria, few people in Budapest spoke German or English. When I made it to Ferenciek Tere on the M-3 line, I went to the ticket office, and tried to say "napijegy", with a horrible mispronunciation of the "gy", and I had to repeat and even point to the ticket. The lady gave me the correct pronunciation and also a day pass for 350 Forint, punched for 1st August. In Budapest the day passes are valid up to 12:01 AM.

The Budapest metros at the time, except M-1, were similar to those in Moscow, St Petersburg, and Prague. I took the M-3 to Déak Ferenc Tér and transferred to the M-1 "Földalatti" which was in operation as early as when the Habsburg Empire still ruled Austria and Hungary. It follows half its route in a shallow tunnel under Andrássy út. I took the M-1 to Hösök Tere, and admired the columns, there must have been about twelve, and there is a statue of the Archangel Gabriel.

I was getting hungry so I went farther northeast to Mexikói út, past the Széchenyi Fürdö (municipal swimming pool open year round). There was a Burger King and I ordered something a bit different than the usual beef burgers. They had, similar to the McDonalds McPink, the "Piggy Burger", basically a pork patty served with the usual condiments and veggies and so on. After that, I took the entire M-1 line to Vörösmarty Tér almost on the east bank of the Danube. I wanted to buy ???????? CDs in Hungarian, so there was a music store close to the Cafe Gerbaud. I bought a couple, namely "Majom tango" by Quimby, "Rossz Penz" by Gjon Delhusa, "Ugyánaz a tuz" by Manhattan, and a cassette by rap duo Animal Cannibals, formed by Qka MC and Ricsipí, "Kés, villa" (knife, fork) - they started in 1989 and as far as I was able to find out, they still are together. No I did not misuse my phrasebook in the record store à la Monty Python ?? "Eye wheel not bye zeese record, eet eese skretched!"

Around the corner there was a shop that sold typical Hungarian souvenirs, for example cheap "puszta" and a funny shirt with some guy with a few liter mugs of beer, a justifiably wide grin, and the word "BUDAPEST Hungary" on it. I bought one in yellow, thought my photo has only the black version as visible.

After buying my t-shirt, I thought it was a good time to walk along the Danube and cross the Széchenyi Lánchíd (chain bridge). The Danube also has active tram tracks on both banks for an unforgettable ride.

On the other side of the bridge, namely the Buda, was a funicular. To ride the funicular up to the castle, required a 100 Forint ticket, and the napijegy was not valid. At the top was the castle and part of the Habsburg-era old town. The castle itself was built more or less on Greco-roman styling, with corinthian-order columns. Walking northeast towards the Szent Matyas church along Szent György utca, there had to be twenty of the Hungarian flags flying, the ones with red, white and green. Szent Matyas was a quarter mile farther along Disz Tér and Tárnok St. Szent Matyas has its bell tower at the "south" corner closest to the street and the shorter parts are to the other directions, giving it its distinctive design. The Fishermans Bastion overlooking the Pest part of the city across the Danube, is accessible by Szentháromság tér.

After that, I took the shuttle bus to Széll Kálmán tér, known in 1998 still as Moskva Tér. I took the M-2 to Déli Pályaudvar, the south long-distance rail station. I was hungry and bought a pepperoni, salami and cheese sandwich for about 200 Forint and a can of 7 Up. That would be enough until supper. I think it was about 5:30 PM or so. I wanted to take a ride on the HÉV suburban rail system, particularly the current route "H5", so I had to go to Batthyáni tér station and transfer.

To get to the HÉV station, I had to go up one escalator level, and cross a corridor to the tracks for the HÉV, there were two or three as I remember. The trains looked like they were from the mid 1970s to early 1980s, and looked more like the trams and Földalatti than the M-2 and M-3 Metro trains. After the HÉV train left Batthyáni tér, there was only one other underground station, Margit Híd Budai hídfö. The conductor checked everyone's train tickets and also my napijegy. I alighted at Szépvölgyi út and took a photo of the departing HÉV train. Waiting for the return train, I think it was fifteen minutes, and I think it was 6:15 PM when I returned to Batthyáni tér. The HÉV station is in a shallow tunnel compared to the metro. Taking the escalator to the street, I boarded a tram line 19 and rode only to Halász utca along the Buda side of the Danube, and had an excellent view of the Hungarian parliament building. The parliament building is very distinctive, one of the most recognizable buildings on the Pest side of the Danube. In 1998 there were still many Trabants and Wartburgs to be seen, many in either rice pudding color or baby blue, same as prior to the reunification of Germany of October 1990.

Since tomorrow (Sunday 2nd August 1998) the train would not leave until 12:30 PM, I had to find a place to put my clothes bag, so I had to ride the M2 from Batthyány tér to Keleti pályaudvar and see if there was a left-luggage or locker room. The left luggage was attended, so I could go place my bag there for about 600 Forint until it was time for the return train. It was starting to get dark, around 8 PM, and there was one last place I wanted to see, and that was Pillangó utca. In Hungary, Poland, and also Serbia, in the summer, the sun rises and sets earlier, significantly earlier, than it does in Spain. I think by about two hours. In Spain for example, it can be dark until 7:30 AM and in Hungary the sun can be up as early as 5:15 AM. If somehow the European Union discontinues the Daylight Savings Time scheme, the sun will rise as early as 4:15 AM in some locations of the Central European +1h time zone.

Pillangó utca is the first surface metro station after the Puskás Ferenc Stadion, renamed from "Nepstadion". This is one of the few stations on the Budapest metro that have side platforms. You can even see the third rails on the platform edge side. Even on the new M-4 that was opened in 2014, the third rails are on the platform side that cannot usually be seen. I crossed the pedestrian bridge to the westbound platform and could see the sun set. The street lights went on and it was time to head back to Déak Tér and Vörösmarty tér to find somewhere to eat.

I found an inviting place close to Vörösmarty tér and where I bought my t-shirt. This was the Vigadó. They had live music, particularly from a ?????? Romani band that had a xylophone and violin, for a uniquely Hungarian dining experience. I had a Dreher beer to start, and then chicken with paprika with vegetables. I must have stayed there for over an hour because the music was very good. I listened to the radio only when the band went on break.

After supper, I took the M-1 to Déak Tér and the one stop by M-3 to Ferenciek Tere to walk back to the hostel. While trying to go to sleep, I listened to the radio, even hearing the classic "Ringo" by Lorne Greene. "i knew there was still a spark of good, in Ringo ??Riiingo - Ringo??"

My roommates that night seemed to have more energy than myself, were a bit noisy until around 1 AM, made it difficult to sleep but I managed to sleep all the same.

That is almost all for Saturday the 1st August 1998. There was a little more I wanted to see of Budapest before going back to München, I was also able to find an excellent place for breakfast. I got to see the most peppers in my life on display. And then at 12:30 PM I had to go back to München. So there is more fun for tomorrow. Köszönom! D'akujem! And Gute Nacht!

Story of #ParisienCourtyard Budapest Originally the building, called Brudern House, was an eclectic-style residential and office building on Ferenciek Square., named after its owner Baron Joseph Brudern, and built by the plans of Mihály Pollack in 1817 . According to a legend, Mihály Pollack designed the corridor to resemble the Passage des Panoramas in Paris, which is why it was known as the Paris House. The old Brudern House was partially demolished in 1883 and completely destroyed by the end of the century. The corner lot was bought by the Downtown Savings Bank in 1906 to build its new center there. Construction began on May 15, 1909 and was completed by 1912. The function of the “Paris House” shopping part was carried on by the ground floor passage called the “Paris Courtyard”, while offices were located on the upper floors and apartments were created on the top floors. Combining elements of Moorish architecture and Gothic style, the façade of the beautiful building up to the second floor was decorated with copper and glass mosaics, the upper levels had enameled bricks and majolica. As years passed by, the shops in the passageway started to close one after another. The building became abandoned. On the three lower levels, French balconies were formed, with wrought iron railings. On the second floor, the stone-lined balcony is held by angel-head brackets. The building was purchased by Mellow Mood Hotels a few years ago to turn it into a luxury hotel belonging to the Hyatt hotel chain.

Almost thousand top tasks in Poland worth €120bn

Regardless of a short-enduring decline in monetary action brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Polish development industry will keep on showing a critical potential for development straight up to 2025. Strikingly, the standpoint for the structural designing area has worked on contrasted and the past projections.

Libraries are enjoying a new wave of popularity. A place for quiet reading, intense studying or painstaking research. Despite the digital revolution, people are returning to libraries to access works that aren’t available online or just to enjoy the atmosphere of these tranquil spots. Budapest is lucky enough to have what are undoubtedly some of the world’s most beautiful libraries, and many are protected monuments of national importance (what’s known as a “műemlék” in Hungarian). Enjoy our photos, and if you get a chance, you should visit some of Budapest’s stunning libraries…

Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library

#gallery-0-66 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-66 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-66 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-66 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

This library is phenomenal and many don’t know that some of Budapest’s most beautiful reading rooms are open to the public here. This library is housed in what was once the Wenckheim Palace, which was built in the late 1880s to the designs of Artúr Meinig. We started our tour to the right of the main public entrance where we saw a fantastic caryatid by sculptor János Fadrusz; these sculpted miners looks like they’re holding the entire building on their shoulders. In 1927 the Budapest City Council purchased the Palace, which is a very fine example of Hungarian Neo-Baroque architecture, and in 1931 the library moved in. Although the building suffered damage, huge renovations to the Metropolitan Szabó Ervin Library have restored it beautifully. The reading rooms are of different styles (see images), for example, the dark brown room with spiral staircase had been a smoker’s room when it was still a Palace, while the gold room was originally for the lady of the house (can you spot about six little gold birds on the ceiling?), the silver room was for the man of the house, while there’s also a long ballroom and a special wood-carved room – all of which can be accessed by the public as part of the library. We have to say that these are likely to be some of the world’s most beautiful reading rooms, and if you’re looking for something to read, there are more than one million documents in this library’s vast collection. It is named after Szabó Ervin, who helped develop the public library system in Budapest. We should note that this library is part of a network of libraries running under the acronym ‘FSZEK’ and many others of these libraries are sure to be beautiful!

Address: Budapest 1088, Szabó Ervin Square 1.

Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences

#gallery-0-67 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-67 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-67 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-67 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

There are three reading rooms to note within the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. While the Academy’s main library was established in the 1820s, the library moved into the building on Arany János Street in the 1980s to have more space. The library’s design is of a classic style, and the view from some of its windows over the Danube are simply beautiful. The building, which now houses the library, had actually been a block of residential apartments (designed by ) but it was significantly renovated to house the core collection of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences’ library. Among its huge collection, we were able to flip through an original newspaper from 1867 – the Budapest Napló (“Budapest Journal”). The second library of note here is in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences building (accessed via Széchenyi Square) where you can see the Oriental Collection’s library. Its reading room dates back to the 1950s and was designed with Islamic motifs in mind. Finally, up the grand staircase of the Academy is another special collections library, this time for the Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books. It looks onto an inner courtyard with a giant tree.

Address: Budapest 1051, Arany János Street 1.

Library of the Hungarian Parliament

#gallery-0-68 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-68 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-68 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-68 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

What a stunner! This is certainly one of the most astoundingly beautiful libraries in Hungary. The library is located on the Danube-side of the Parliament, and from within there’s a view right onto the river. As you can see on the images there are ornate decorations, ceiling-high shelves of books (the highest of which are accessed via the gallery) and furniture which complements the space perfectly. It’s a public library open to those wishing to study or read from its massive collection, just don’t expect to bump into any politicians as they mostly use another library. The library moved in in 1902, and just like the rest of the Hungarian Parliament it was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl. Some of the decorations and motifs in the library match those in the rest of the building, for example the carved roses decorating the ceiling of the library can also be found in the Vadászterem (‘Hunter Hall’) of the Parliament. The book shelves, window frames and some of the furniture are original from the early 1900s as well. The library’s collection includes documents on the topics of law, politics, history, literature and many other areas. There are also special United Nations and European Union collections. One of the things we liked the most is that you can find the historical documents of the Hungarian Parliament dating back to 1580 here! It must be said that this is not just one of the most beautiful, but one of the quietest libraries in Budapest, and it’s clear that this library’s readers are proud to be able to use such a special space.

Address: Budapest 1055, Kossuth Lajos Square 1-3.

ELTE University Library

#gallery-0-69 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-69 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-69 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-69 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The reading hall of the ELTE University Library is nothing short of breathtaking. Located in the heart of Budapest, the whole building is impressive. It was built with a library in mind in 1876 to the plans of Antal Skalnitzky, but it’s important to note that the University Library had been operating since much earlier at other locations. This was the first public library in Hungary. The classic reading hall is some 200 square meters and is currently undergoing renovations, but in the near future it will be open to the public to use as a reading hall once more. The frescos here are by Hungarian painter Károly Lotz and depict female figures, symbolic of the sciences and arts. There is a glass roof in the ceiling and three giant windows on one side allowing enormous amounts of natural light to fill the space. The library’s collection consists of almost two million documents on topics including history, philosophy, Hungarian literature and psychology. Among the most impressive are the about 180 codexes and 11,000 volumes from the 16th century. We have to mention that the beautiful entry to this library (pictured) is worth seeing in itself!

Address: Budapest 1053, Ferenciek Square 6.

National Library Of Foreign Literature And Music Collection

#gallery-0-70 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-70 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-70 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-70 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Hidden behind an unassuming façade is the beautiful National Library of Foreign Literature, which is slowly but surely being restored to its former glory via a series of renovations. Here you can find books and other resources in more than 100 languages, but it’s worth visiting the reading room whether you’re studying or not. The cream and white decorated hall has a gallery and is a beautiful spot to study quietly. It’s worth paying attention to the frosted glass in the doors and the marble on the walls of the staircases and walkways. Visit the Music Collection area too – it’s a more modern area that’s been renovated in a classic style – you don’t want to miss it. Of the building itself we can say that it dates back to 1897 when the Katholikus Kör (‘Catholic Circle’) used it. In the 1950s it became the Gorkij State Library, before becoming the National Library of Foreign Literature in 1989.

Address: Budapest 1056, Molnár Street 11.

The library of ELTE University’s Institute of Slavic and Baltic Philology

#gallery-0-71 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-71 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-71 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-71 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The library of ELTE University’s Institute of Slavic and Baltic Philology is lucky to be in what was once Loránd Eötvös’ personal library. He was a Hungarian physicist who researched and taught at the University of Budapest, which was then renamed the Eötvös Loránd University in 1950. The small library has a gallery and it’s lined floor-to-ceiling with books. The beautiful deep brown shelving and wooden spiral staircase are the originals from the turn-of-the-century design. The interior is simple, yet very atmospheric making it one of Budapest’s loveliest small libraries. The Institute’s library has a vast collection of literature, dictionaries, history and so forth in the Slavic and Baltic languages. Address: Budapest 1088, Museum Boulevard 4. (Building D)

The National Technical Information Centre and Library at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME OMIKK)

#gallery-0-72 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-72 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-72 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-72 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The National Technical Information Centre and Library at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME OMIKK) is surely one of Budapest’s most beautiful libraries. Overhead at the entry is the Sóhajok hídja (‘Bridge of Sighs’), which is a beautiful sight in itself. The library building, designed by Pecz Samu, was built in the early 1900s. Passing through the central Aula, we reach the famous reading room, which is sometimes used for filming. This is little wonder because it’s very beautiful. The reading room, which has undergone a huge renovation, has big glass windows, a cathedral-esque ceiling and a spacious light-filled interior. While the furniture is a relatively recent purchase it matches the space elegantly. The prime colour, other than cream, is a moss green, which is the typical colour palette favoured by many schools and universities. The library’s collection includes more than one million books including on the topics of economics, engineering and science. Address: Budapest 1111, Budafoki Road 4.

József Pécsi Library of Photography

#gallery-0-73 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-73 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-73 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-73 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

This photography library has operated in the Mai Manó House since 1999, but the building itself dates back to 1893-94. The famous Hungarian photographer Mai Manó lived on the 3rd floor where the library now is. So, as a library, it’s not that “old,” however, it’s certainly beautiful and it’s design matches the style of the entire building. Here you can find all kinds of books on the topic of photography. There is also a terrace, that although you can’t access, looks onto bustling Nagymező Street. The library has a collection of thousands of items, and you can check out the 150 works they’re most proud of here. The library is called the Pécsi József Library of Photography and is named after a prominent Hungarian photographer.

Address: Budapest 1065, Nagymező Street 20.

Library Of The Hungarian Unıversity Of Fine Arts

#gallery-0-74 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-74 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-74 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-74 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Walking along Andrássy Avenue it’s easy miss The Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, but hidden in one of its wings is the Academy’s specialist library. It’s certainly one of the most beautiful – if understated – libraries in Budapest. The library furniture itself dates back to 1900, matching the Neo-Renaissance style of the entire building, and still has the original book shelves and cupboards. As you can see in the photos there’s one long room split into three parts with a split-level created by the shelves and walkways making the space feel enclosed and secretive – like it’s the headquarters of a secret society for wizards! There’s also a fourth light-filled reading room as well. One of the points of interest is the library’s archive in which we can find out who taught the alumni of the Academy and who they went to school with. This, of course, is crucial in the arts when considering an artist’s master and inspiration. Of the many treasures here, we could mention that it has more than 10,000 old photos plus a rare collection of original Succession-era posters. Another interesting point is that this was one of the first higher education institutions that allowed women to study, yet the library was sectioned off with women’s and men’s reading rooms before finally allowing mixed-sex use. Nowadays, apparently the men are campaigning against this because of how distracting the beautiful women can be while they’re trying to study!

Address: Budapest 1062, Andrássy Avenue 69-71.

Library of the School of English and American Studies and the Library of the Institute of German Studies (ELTE University)

#gallery-0-75 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-75 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-75 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-75 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

In the inner courtyard of the main ELTE BTK building in the Eötvös Loránd University‘s Museum Boulevard campus there are two libraries operating side-by-side under a huge glass roof: the Library of the School of English and American Studies and the Library of the Institute of German Studies. This inner courtyard had been a typical open-air courtyard found in many of Budapest’s buildings, and it was once where the entertainment spot Holdudvar (now on Margaret Island) operated. However, because the university needed to find space for the two libraries, in 2006 it converted the courtyard, adding heating from the floor and a huge glass roof overhead. The light-filled space is lined with row-upon-row of shelves, while underground there are many more books in storage waiting to be requested by the readers. The glass roof is covered by a shade cloth in summer to prevent glare. This might just be one of the only libraries in the world that used to be an entertainment spot, and we love it! Address: Budapest 1088, Museum Boulevard 6-8.

The Italian Institute of Culture’s Library

#gallery-0-76 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-76 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-76 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-76 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The Italian Institute of Culture’s library also has a nice reading room. While it’s a modern library space, the building it’s in has an impressive history. Earlier it was the site of the Hungarian Parliament and it was designed by famous . Although it’s a beautiful and tranquil space, in a historic building, the library’s interior is not antique, with the shelving and spiral staircase created in the 1980s. The library itself has a vast selection of Italian books and DVDs, and if you get a chance to visit, it’s worth asking to see the main hall. Address: Budapest 1088, Bródy Sándor Street 8.

Petőfi Literary Museum Library

#gallery-0-77 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-77 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-77 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-77 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

This library is found in one section of the Károlyi Palace which now also houses the Petőfi Literary Museum. The room always functioned as a library, and the beautiful space has a gallery and terrace that looks out onto the Károlyi Garden. The library was designed by Heinrich Koch and the gallery, book shelves and fireplace are all original from the time it was built in 1830s. It’s worth looking up to see that beautiful chandelier as well. The furniture, although befitting the interior, was added during a relatively recent renovation. As a specialist literature library there are some great treasures in its collection, although research permission must be sought to access its documents and books. Interestingly, the library also has the bequeaths of the personal book collections of prominent writers and poets. If you get a chance, it’s worth seeing the rest of the building, including its ornate dining rooms, ballrooms and the winter garden. The Petőfi Literary Museum also offers exceptional exhibitions as well.

Address: Budapest 1053, Károlyi Mihály Street 16.

National Széchényi Library

#gallery-0-78 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-78 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-78 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-78 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

While this might not be one of Budapest’s most beautiful libraries in the classic sense, its location in the Buda Palace, beautiful exterior from the turn of the century and the retro charm of its interior has earned it a place on this list. The wing of the that houses the National Széchényi Library over eight storeys was severely damaged during the . During renovations that took place between the 60s and 80s it was not restored to its former glory, instead it has the hallmarks of the style and ‘socialist’ design of those decades. The Hungarian National Library moved in in 1985 and it’s worth visiting for two reasons. One: it’s like stepping on the set of Mad Men. Two: being the country’s national library it has pretty much every Hungarian book and a whole lot of important documents relating to Hungary. One of the most valuable pieces is the ‘Ómagyar Mária-siralom‘ from the 13th century, which is one of the earliest examples of Hungarian writing. The library also has some 35 codexes (ancient manuscript text in book form). And last year one of library’s scholars accidentally discovered Mozart’s handwriting from among a pile of documents! In total there are more than 10 million documents here. One point of interest is that there had been two open inner-courtyards on either side of the main staircase, but these were reconstructed and filled to serve as several levels of book storage instead.

Address: Budapest 1014, Szent György Square 4-5-6.
