Snow in Budapest

Snow in Budapest



We had very heavy snow suddenly after a 'teaser spring'. Well, it means on a fine Tuesday, we woke up suddenly seeing snow of 3 inches thick!

Snow

For me I was on my way to the bank first, then I decided to have a longer walk in the snow. It was still snowing and carefully I made my steps to the Budapest Opera House. As I have a date with my love - my hubby, we will see the Mozart's Così fan tutte :)

It's always an experience if it even (once or twice a week), you can get an exceptional service. It would have to be someone Hungarian who really knows how to extend a good service! That would be a lucky day. As usual, the Hungarian ticket sales assistant wasn't the best in her best sales service. What can I say, it is part of Budapest too.

So without more expectations, I left the ticketing office holding the two tickets, happily walking home. The snow was fast flying past my face. It's a strange day with so much snow all of a sudden but it was certainly beautiful!

I made more photos along the way.
Andrassy ut, Budapest, and snowing

There is a girl who is Singaporean and living in Budapest. We haven't met but it was amazing to see her notes about her feelings about the beautiful Budapest. Today I found a video made by her (see above) and I just want to share it. I think it's a great clip to have a feel about how its like living here.

Opera House, Budapest, Hungary


The Opera is one of the most significant 19th century historic buildings in Budapest, together with the National Museum and the Vigadó. Its architect, Miklós Ybl did not use the square form developed by Gottfried Semper as a reference (a hall around the auditorium), otherwise regarded a standard, but he was taking into consideration the capacities of the site, he looked at the Parisian Opera as an example, where there are ornamental stairs placed at the axis of the auditorium.
