Interesting maps of Hungary that give a new perspective — PART I

We know many faces of Hungary, Europe and the world. But let’s break away from the familiar. We will show you maps and images that can give you a new perspective on your view of the world. Check out our interesting and varied compilation.

Budapest instead of Seattle

Everyone has a basic knowledge of geography. However, the following map can put latitude into context. This map replaces the familiar European castles with cities in Europe and North Africa, and does so with the replaced city at the same latitude.

Thus, in Spain, Barcelona is replaced by Beijing, and in Italy, Palermo is replaced by San Francisco on the Sicilian peninsula. England’s capital, London, is replaced by Edmonton, while Yakutsk is replaced by Norway. In Hungary, no other city has been replaced. And the latitude of Seattle is almost the same as Budapest.

Most famous art work

There are no cities on this map. Here, you can see the countries of Europe. However, within the country borders you can see one of the iconic paintings of that country.

Within the borders of Italy, we are greeted by the Mona Lisa, in Germany by Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, in Greece by Venus de Milo, and in Hungary by The Old Fisherman. It was painted by Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry around 1902.
