Budapest reflects various cultures that have influenced it over centuries. I was there only for a day. I remember how we spent the entire day in the city soaking in the wonderful atmosphere there. It is a vast city, divided to two parts, Buda and Pest on either side of the river Danube. A lot of planning is required if you wish to systematically see all the major sights.
My travel experience of Budapest is posted here at Yahoo travels. Here is a picture of Heroes’ Square, a world heritage site. It was built to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Magyar conquest of Hungary in 895. The tall structure in the middle is the Millennium Monument. That is the statue of the archangel Gabriel at the top. And there are statues of famous men who made their mark on Hungarian history in the semicircular colonnade.

Such a historic place and a beautiful capture for the day, Indrani! Hope your week is going well!
Absolutely stunning shot. I enjoy your travel shots so much.
Must have been a great journey. Wonderful picture.
Great shot, Indrani. How wonderful that you had time to see Budapest.
We were actually there last weekend, the final port in a river cruise, but I was unable to go ashore because I wasn't well. However, coming into "the jewel of the Danube" at night when everything was alight was absolutely beautiful, and I have those memories of Budapest to last me for the rest of my life. My husband took many photos, so I have those, too.

Lovely composition!
Many years ago I had a pen friend from Hungary and since then have always wanted to visit Budapest, you have tempted me again. :)
Wonderful shot and nice to know a bit of history and the fact that it has 2 parts... Buda and Pest!
This is a marvelous photo. My late wife was Hungarian and always wanted to take me to Budapest. Unfortunately, we never made it.
Europe is full of rich history and they are good at showcasing the same to the world.
Like that panoramic picture showing all the details and its enormity.
