Discover the American side of Budapest! – VIDEO

There are several places and events in Budapest that will remain memorable for a long time due to some great American icons who left their mark on the Hungarian capital. Who are they, and what did they do in the Hungarian capital? Come with us for a travel in time and discover the American side of Budapest. 

The historic atmosphere of Budapest is not only interesting for Hungarians but also for Americans. That is what inspired the initiative called “Hosszúlépés. Járunk?” (Great step, are we going?) walking tour, organised by the National Library for Foreign Languages. Within the framework of the programme, we can visit buildings on a variety of topics, while expert speakers who know the city well tell lesser-known stories about Budapest’s architectural treasures and hidden places.

The special walking tour includes American-related sites.

It shows us the mysteries of art deco, which is the first style trend that – even though it started in France – grew a lot in America and ended up in our small country.

As the Hungarian news portal Index reports, such walks are exciting any time of the year. You can choose from tours with different themes, so everyone can find the one that interests him/her the most – and then the city reveals a completely different side.
