I have previously posted photos of streets in Szczecin, Warsaw and Poznan, but Budapest is the best of those put on steroids.  No way to get photos of these.  Big, incredibly fancy late 19th century buildings everywhere, block after block of them.  The late 19th century was a period of great prosperity for Budapest, and I am sure I will find Vienna as well.  This was the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and of course all this ended with World War I.  There is also statuary everywhere.  Of all the places that I have seen in Europe, this in the one place I know I need to return to, there is so much.
