This week’s challenge is from Johnbo, with the topic Landmarks & Monuments.
Since it’s such a vast subject, I decided to narrow it down to famous landmarks in Budapest, Hungary.
These places are all in relatively close proximity to one another: The Hungarian Parliament Building, just in front of the iconic Shoes along the Danube.
Fisherman’s Bastion, beside the beautiful Matthias Church.
The Dohány Street Synagogue, beside the Tree of Life, a memorial tree with leaves bearing the names of Holocaust victims.
I travelled to Budapest in November of 2018.
I loved Budapest when I visited 14 years ago. The shoes by the Danube was heartbreaking.
Oh I had to count and that was 8 years ago and it seems like yesterday when we went there. Yes the shoes by the Danube was really sad reflecting about it. Thanks Darlene for commenting.
Such a beautiful city! Great photos, Teresa xx
Thanks Jo, if only I could go back.
I was recently in Budapest and visited all of the places you posted pictures of. It’s a beautiful city. I found the “Shoes on the Danube Bank” to be an incredibly poignant and heart-wrenching monument. What an amazing city.
I agree. It is one of my favourite city as well. I won’t ever forget the feeling that you get while standing on the banks beside the Shoes on the Danube. Thanks for commenting Joel.
You’ve given me a peek at the scenery there later next year. Thanks for the views.

I had to look up the Shoes on the Danube Memorial to learn what it is about. Sad to say, I was thinking I already knew.
