Bizonyára tudják, hogy Budapest legismertebb, gyönyörű építményei, látnivalói a kerületünkben kitermelt kövekből állnak: a Lánchíd, a Citadella, a Mátyás-templom, a Halászbástya, az Akadémia, az Opera épülete, az Andrássy út számos palotája. De azt tudják-e, hogy Kőbánya miből épül fel? Kerületünk legfontosabb pillérei valójában nem kőből és habarcsból állnak. Hanem olyan emberekből, akik ebben a kiadványunkban is szerepelnek. Ők teszik olyan erőssé Kőbányát, az ő tetteik, az ő életük az, amelyre egy egész kerület fejlődését alapozzuk. Amivel ők szolgálják nap mint nap Kőbányát, azt nem lehet megtanítani semmilyen iskolában, nem lehet beleírni a munkaköri leírásba – az szívből jön. Ez teszi a foglalkozást hivatássá, ettől válik az ügyszám emberi sorssá, így lesz a gyerekből, a diákból kibontakozó tehetség, a páciensből Józsi bácsi vagy Tóth család – a munkából pedig a közösség szolgálata. Ez az, amitől igazán jó kőbányainak lenni. Igen, fontos a fejlődés, hogy megújuljanak a középületeink, megszépüljenek a köztereink, hogy megfelelő körülményeket biztosítsunk a gyerekeknek, az ügyfeleknek, a betegeknek. De ennél is fontosabb, hogy szeressünk itt élni. Akik hittel és elkötelezettséggel dolgoznak a közösségünkért, azok az emberek teszik igazán szerethetővé Kőbányát. Mi minden évben kiválasztjuk közülük azokat, akik a legjobbak voltak a legjobbak között, és az egész kerület nevében megköszönjük mindazt, amit Kőbányáért tesznek. Róluk szól ez a kiadvány.

  • Activities in Budapest Sights To
    Activities in Budapest Sights to see 1) The Buda castle A must-see for everyone who visits the Hungarian capital. Besides its romantic streets, shops and cafés, the castle includes famous buildings such as the Matthias Church, the Fisherman’s bastion, or the National Gallery. Bus 16 takes you up to the castle, but you can also decide to walk from Clark Ádám Square – or take the unique funicular from there. 2) Gellért hill Gellért Hill is one of the top tourist attractions of the city thanks to the magnificent panorama from the top of its cliffs facing the Danube. You can climb the hill from two sides: take the stairs by the waterfall at Elizabeth Bridge, or take the gradual, but somewhat longer pathway by the Gellért Bath. 3) St. Stephan’s Basilica Located near to Deák Ferenc Square, St. Stephan’s Basilica is one of the most beautiful and monumental churches of Hungary. Here is found the ‘Holy Right’, a mummified right hand dedicated to St. Stephan, the first king of Hungary. 4) Heroes Square and Városliget Heroes Square with the statues of the most famous figures of Hungarian history is among the most popular sights of Budapest. Beyond the Square lies Városliget, the big city park of Budapest, which also includes the Vajdahunyad castle and the Széchényi thermal bath. To get there, take bus 105 or Metro line 1 (Földalatti) from Deák Ferenc tér. 5) Opera House The Hungarian State Opera is the masterpiece of Miklós Ybl, one of the greatest Hungarian architects of all time. The Opera was opened in 1884.

  • BUDAPEST-Sightseeing Survey at Google Maps, According to Listed S/N
    BUDAPEST-Hungary Christos Gkoutzelis, HUNGARY-Budapest BUDAPEST-Sightseeing survey at google maps, according to listed s/n. 1. Liberty Bridge (Szabadsag hid) Liberty Bridge (Szabadság híd,is maybe the less attractive bridge in the city center ) is the one located at the southern end of city center, leading to Gellert Hill. The 333.6 m long bridge was built between 1894 and 1896. Its middle part was destroyed during World War II but it was rebuilt in 1945, and further restoration work was conducted to eliminate all war-related damage between 2007 and 2009. The bridge's main ornaments, four falcon-like bronze statues sitting on top of the bridge's four central masts (these are actually turuls, a mythological bird that represents power, strength and nobility in Hungary), were also restored. The bridge was originally named after the Emperor Franz Joseph, but it was renamed Liberty Bridge when the country was liberated from the Nazi occupation by the Soviet army at the end of World War II in 1945. The same year, the Liberation Monument was erected at the top of Gellert Hill. This imposing statue takes on the form of a woman holding a palm leaf above her head and can best be admired while crossing the bridge. 2. Corvinus University of Budapest (250m,3min from Szabadsag hid) In 1846, József Industrial School was opened gates for economics and trade for upper grade students. The immediate forerunner of the Corvinus University,the Faculty of Economics of the Royal Hungarian University, was established in 1920. The University admitting more than 14,000 students offers educational programmes inagricultural sciences, business administration, economics, and social sciences, and most these disciplines assure it a leading position in Hungarian higher education and is among the best institutions on various national and international rankings.
