Vaci Utca

We spent the rest of the afternoon just wandering around, as is our habit, first to a craft-market near the synagogue, then down toward Vaci Utca, one of the main pedesrtrian shopping areas.
Fixer-upper Art Deco











Nice Art Nouveau all around, although not as prominent as
in Prague










All kinds of nice buildings to look at












Vaci Utca; we have, at length, figured out that
utqa means street; ter means plaza or square;
fortunately, many people, especially younger
(as is always the case), speak pretty good
English














Which is good, since there is not so much as a phoneme in
the signage or spoken language we can understand







The central tour bus port in downtown Budapest






Looking across the Danube, the giant Liberty statue
