The main building of the University of Debrecen was built bw 1927 – 1932. When inaugurated this was the third biggest building in Hungary after the Parliament and the Castle of Buda (both to be found in the capital). It is really monumental and still serves as the home of numerous University Departments and other establishments. Its central court, a multi-storey, glass-covered atrium is a unique sight and impresses the visitor being an internationally relevant architectural gem. It is home to the regular doctoral degree award ceremonies and other celebrations. It is worth just to take a stroll within the building, or around at the carefully manicured park. You are free to discover the many adjacent old or new buildings of one of Europe’s nicest university campus.

Used over the centuries as a coronation church for the Hungarian kings, the slender and graceful architecture of this beautiful church dominates the main square of the Castle area.
A very nice church on the Buda side at the Fisherman's Bastion. Worthwhile and full of history. Easy to reach, either on foot, by taxi, or by bus (bus line 16; Szentháromság tér stop). You also have a great view from the Pest side on the banks of the Danube. Visit this place once during the day and once at night. Worth it The Matthias Church (Mátyás-templom) - officially: the Church of the Great Blessed Virgin of the Buda Castle (Budavári Nagyboldogasszony templom) - on the castle hill of the Fisherman's Bastion is a must when visiting Budapest. The facade and roof of the church, which is predominantly Gothic in style, are beautiful. The roof decorated with colorful glazed roof tiles is unique. Inside the church there are decorative paintings, magnificent frescoes and stucco decorations, as well as wonderful stained glass windows. The interior is created in a mixture of Gothic style and Art Nouveau. The neo-Gothic main altar of the Matthias Church is adorned with dark gold. However, the story that belongs to this wonderful church is also fascinating, sometimes sad at the same time. First built in the 13th century in the Romanesque style, the basilica was then converted into a church in the Gothic style. Under the Ottoman rule, all the sanctuaries were destroyed and the church converted into a mosque. After the almost complete destruction, the church was built in baroque style. Later it served as the coronation church for Franz and Sisi, the Hungarian royal couple. Before it was badly damaged again in the Second World War. You have to go there, when visit one of the most beautiful cities of Europe!

The domed neo-Gothic structre was inspired by the British House of Parliament and serves as both a vibrant government center and a proud city landmark on the banks of the Danube.

Built in 1896 for the Millennial celebrations, this large complex houses 21 exact replicas of the most magnificent and historic buildings of Hungary.
Vajdahunyad castle is definitely a must, when in Budapest ???? It offers you cool architecture, nice park area for a walk and also agricultural museum ???? It's one of the most beautiful small castles that I have seen, especially in the winter time ????

This famous building is located in the centre of the town. It has a special architecture with an interesting roof with Zsolnay- ceramics. Outside and inside of the building you can see statues and portrait of Hungarian historic people: leaders and kings. You can hear the chime every hour. We were lucky to go into the main hall where wedding ceremonies are held. We have seen the fantastic paintings on the walls.

As you enter the downtown area of Debrecen it is massive and impossible to miss. It is the largest Protestant Church in Hungary and it has the largest Bell of the Protestant Churches in Hungary. That is why Debrecen is called the Calvinist Rome. There were several churches which were destroyed, one before the present church burned during the Great Fire that destroyed Debrecen in 1802 and the construction of this Great Church started in 1805. The capacity is for 5000 people. The towers are 61 meters high. It is worth visiting.
