Budapest turned into a ghost town amid pandemic – VIDEO
Botond Nahimi has uploaded a video of the empty streets of Budapest as people opt to stay home during the Coronavirus outbreak.
When 444.hu asked Botond when he made the video, he answered that it was all taken on the same day, between 6 and 11 AM. His route started on Moszkva to Kossuth square, the Basilica, Deák square, Kiskörút, Keleti station, the National Musem, the Whale, Váci utca, Vörösmarty, Fashion street, Heroes’ Square and the Buda Castle.
“The funny thing is, in only one or two places did I need to wait a bit or find a sneakier angle, there really was a huge emptiness everywhere. Budapest is the city of dog-walkers, crows and pigeons,” said the video maker.
