"The most visible symbol of Budapest's left bank is the huge neo-Gothic Parliament, mirrored in the Danube much the way Britain's Parliament is reflected in the Thames."

Seeing Parliament during construction on one of the building’s corners is not bad timing, but rather unavoidable as renovation is infinite.

"This is the oldest and most beautiful of the seven road bridges that span the Danube in Budapest. When lit up at night, it captures Budapest's radiance as do few other scenes."

"This city icon was designed by Englishman William Tierney Clark and Scottish engineer Adam Clark and funded by influential aristocrat Count István Széchenyi."

"Széchenyi Bridge, or the Chain Bridge, is the oldest in the city... and is magnificently lit at night. Two stone lions on pedestals keep proud watch over either end of the bridge."

"This twin-towered span is the city’s oldest and arguably most beautiful bridge. It is named in honour of its initiator, István Széchenyi, but was built by a Scotsman named Adam Clark."
