Covid-19 related news of Hungary

As we have shared in our previous blog articles, Hungary is fighting against the 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic at the moment. Sadly, today is the second day when the number of the victims is around 250 people ( all together since the outbreak of the epidemic it is about 19 000 Hungarians that passed away because of Covid-19 ).

There are about 1.7 million Hungarian people who got vaccinated with the first dose of the 5 vaccines that we are using and there are about 495 000 people who got the second jab as well. Read the latest official news here:

Since there are still a lot of restrictions in power, we do not run our daily free tours in Budapest until further notice. Thank you for your understanding.

News of Budapest – closure & renovation of the Chain bridge

As we have mentioned in one of our previous blog posts, the first and most iconic bridge of the Hungarian capital on the river Danube, the Chain bridge is being renovated starting from this month. They closed the pedestrian part already on the 17th of March; cars and buses can still run on it, but it is going to be shut down completely in a little while. The renovation works will last until about the end of the year 2023. This is the reason why we will have to divide our General Budapest Walk into two parts: we will have a General Pest Walk and a General Buda walk in the selection of our free walking tours in Budapest. More details later when the reopening of the country comes close enough…

Now, let’s see a couple of details about our beloved Chain bridge!

It is literally a ‘chain bridge’, which is a historic form of suspension bridges: they used chains or eye bars instead of wire ropes to hold the bridge deck.

The Chain bridge sits on the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of the Hungarian capital. It was designed by the English engineer called William Tierney Clark and built by the Scottish engineer Adam Clark. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in our country, opened in 1849. It is a 172 years old this year!

The bridge’s full name is Széchenyi Chain bridge. It also has the name of István Széchenyi, the Hungarian politician and nobleman who initiated and supported its construction. At the time of its construction, the bridge was regarded part of the modern world’s engineering wonders.

It meant an enormous significance in the country’s economic, social and cultural life, just like the Brooklyn Bridge in New York and the US. The Chain bridge became a symbol of national awakening, advancement, and the linkage between East and West.

You will be able to hear more about and see this wonder on our free tours later on when we are back on track again… 🙂

News & the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49

Covid-19 related news of Hungary

As we are in the middle of the 3rd wave of the coronavirus epidemic, many restrictions are in power right now in Hungary. We summarized them in one of our previous blog posts, please have a look at the following link, if you are interested.

Regarding the Covid-19 vaccination in Hungary: at the moment there are about 1 320 000 people who got the first vaccine and there are about 393 000 Hungarians that got the second dose as well.

Our daily free tours in Budapest are still not running until further notice. We are going to keep you updated with news every week on our blog.

15th of March – National Holiday in Hungary

Today we commemorate the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49 which broke out on the 15th of March. This day is one of the most important national holiday of the country. Normally there are big, crowded commemorations, but not this year because of the coronavirus pandemic…

Our 1848-49 freedom fight was one of the many European revolutions of 1848 and it was quite closely connected to other revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg (Austrian Royal family) areas. This revolution is one of the most determinative events in our country’s modern history – it formed a key element of modern Hungarian national identity.

Hungary was part of the Austrian Empire from the late 1600s when we were liberated from the Ottoman Empire by the Holy League led by the Austrians. We were demanding freedom, full independence for Hungary. After a series of defeats suffered by Austria in 1849, the Austrian Empire came close to collapsing. The young emperor, Franz Joseph I had to ask for Russian help and Tsar Nicholas I answered. He sent a 200 000 army with 80 000 auxiliary forces. In the end, the joint army of Russian and Austrian forces defeated the Hungarians. After they restored Habsburg power, they placed Hungary under brutal martial law. Finally our country gained full independence from the Austrian Empire only after the first world war.

You can learn more about our history when we are back doing our daily free walking tours in Budapest! https://www.triptobudapest.hu/tours/

On this day, even Google commemorated the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-49! 🙂

Covid-19 news & International Women’s Day

Latest Covid-19 related news of Hungary

Today is the day when the latest restrictions and another lockdown start in our country. You can read about these in more details in our last blog post on the following link:

https://www.triptobudapest.hu/tightening-covid-19-restrictions/

Unfortunately we, the Trip to Budapest Team, are still not running our daily free walking tours in Budapest until further notice. 

We are still far from reaching herd immunity, but the good news is that in Hungary about 1 million people has got their first dose of the vaccination and about 307 000 got the second dose, too. These are not bad numbers in the European Union compared to the fact that the population is about 10 million. However, the number of new cases are still rising in our country during the 3rd wave of the pandemic now, and the number of people in hospitals and in emergency care units are quite high. Hopefully the new restrictions and the lockdown will be effective in the next 2 weeks or so. We will keep you updated with the news.

International Women’s Day

Every year the world celebrates International Women’s Day on the 8th of March. For many decades this day has been a moment to celebrate the economic, cultural, political and social achievements of women. 

This day serves an important purpose: it forces conversations about women’s achievements and global gender inequality into the mainstream – and it invites people of all backgrounds, ages and genders to consider what they can do to make the world a more equal place for everyone.

The Trip to Budapest –  Free Walking Tours Budapest Team wishes all women in the world a happy and content International Women’s Day and a successful life! Hug your grandma, mom, girl siblings, friends, colleges and other women in your life today for us, too (in a mask, or in mind of course)!

Covid-19 related news

Coronavirus related news of Hungary on the 26th February 2021

As we wrote in our previous blog post, the 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic has hit Hungary as well, there have been more and more new cases and they have extended the Covid-19 related restrictions and border closure until at least the 15th of March. Probably they will be extended even until after this date. Our daily free tours in Budapest are still not running until further notice.

As said in our previous articles, vaccination started in Hungary, with 5 different vaccines. Right now there are about 522 000 people that got the first round and about 240 000 individuals that got the second round of the vaccination. Official news say that there could be about 2.5 million Hungarians vaccinated until this Easter out of the 10 million people living in our country.

Remembering the Victims of Communist Dictatorships on the 25th of February

The commemoration of the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Communist Dictatorships (or the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Communism) was adopted by the Parliament of the Republic of Hungary on 13 June 2000. According to this, Memorial Day for the Victims of Communism is held on February 25 every year in secondary education institutions.

Béla Kovács, Secretary General of the Independent Smallholders’ Party (FKGP), was arrested by the Soviet authorities on this day in 1947 for his opposition to the Communists and taken to the Soviet Union, where he spent eight years in captivity, first in the Gulag and then from September 25, 1951 in the State Security Ministry’s Central Prison, in Moscow.

The arrest and detention of the politician was the first step on the path by which the Communist Party eliminated its opponents and thus moved towards the establishment of a total one-party dictatorship. The case thus became a symbol of the disregard for democracy and freedoms that characterized the nearly 50-year rule of communism. Béla Kovács became a role model for people who were considered victims of the party state regime.

The Black Book of Communism puts the number of victims of communism worldwide at about 100 million, according to estimates and archival research. In Central and Eastern Europe, the number of victims of famine, forced labor camps or executions reaches one million, but the victims of the system are also those imprisoned, interrogated, tortured, stigmatized, persecuted for their group or religious affiliation, ie everyone deprived of the opportunity for free action and choice, mutilated physically and spiritually. You can learn more about the Communist Dictatorship in Hungary (~1948-1989) on our free Communism walking tour in Budapest, when we can be back doing tours and showing you our city & culture.

Latest News – 23rd February 2021

Latest Covid-19 related news in Hungary and at the Free Walking Tours Budapest Team

Regarding the Covid-19 related restrictions in our country, there has been one change made since our latest blog post: the parliament has extended the “emergency phase” of the country, it will be in action for another at least 90 days. We are still not running our daily free walking tours in Budapest until further notice.

Unfortunately, the 3rd wave of the coronavirus pandemic has started in Hungary recently, there have been more and more new cases and deaths reported in the last week or so. Vaccination has started too, so far Hungary uses the Pfizer/Biontech, the AstraZeneca, the Russian Sputnik V and the Chinese Sinopharm vaccines. There is about 460 000 people in our country that got the first dose of the vaccine and roughly 206 000 got the second round, too.

Covid-19 vaccination is going on all around the world

Another piece of news regarding our walking tours in Budapest is that they are going to start the renovation of the iconic Chain bridge, the first permanent bridge on the Danube in Budapest ready in 1849. They are going to close the bridge from traffic and pedestrians, too this spring for a long time (possibly more than 1 year). Our General Free Budapest Walk and most of the travelers walking in our city used to cross this bridge on the way to the Buda side from the Pest side, all the other bridges are a bit too far for crossing in a reasonable time on one tour. This is why we are going to divide our Free Budapest Walk into 2 tours, a Pest tour and a Buda castle tour with different starting times and different meeting points. We are going to upload all the things you need to know, once we are back on track and can run our daily free walking tours in Budapest again.

Stay well and safe!

 

News & Carnival (Farsang) season in Hungary

Latest Covid-19 related news of Hungary

Since our last blog post there has not been any changes to restrictions in Hungary, please click on the following link to read about the latest Covid-19 news and restrictions of our country:

Carnival Season = Farsang in Hungary

Farsang in Hungarian is the name of the period from Epiphany (Vízkereszt in Hungarian, on January 6th) to Pancake day (Húshagyó kedd in our language, it is before Ash Wednesday, it is the 47th day before Easter Sunday), to the beginning of Lent. It is traditionally celebrated with happy feasts, balls, fun, folk festivals. The characteristic of the carnival season is that there is no important religious holiday associated with it in the Christian liturgical calendar, it is mostly based on folk traditions. Carnival events from pre-Christian times were prohibited in the 16th and 17th centuries, because of their wild customs mostly symbolizing lust, hedonism. In Hungary during old times, Farsang was also a period of mating and was also an important “wedding season” as it was already forbidden to hold a wedding during the Easter fast period.

The highlight of Farsang is the carnival. This period of the last three days from Carnival Sunday to Pancake day is actually a winter farewell, too. Famous carnivals (the Rio Carnival, the Venetian Carnival) are held in many cities around the world, and in Hungary the most notable event of the carnival is the ‘Busójárás’ in Mohács, a city on the southern part of Hungary, close to Serbia.

The Busójárás

Busójárás is a celebration of the Šokci people living in the town of Mohács, Hungary, held annually at the end of the Carnival season, Farsang, ending the day before Ash Wednesday. The celebration features Busós (people wearing traditional scary masks) and it includes folk music, parades and dancing, masquerading. There are 2 reasons why they dress up in scary costumes:

  1. To scare winter away
  2. To scare the Turks away… (A big part of Hungary was under Ottoman occupation between 1541 and 1699)

The Busójárás lasts for six days and it is held usually during February. Ten thousands of people visit this event and since 2009 it has been on UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list.

A delicious thing we eat at Farsang

The Farsang Doughnut or Farsangi fánk as we call it in Hungarian. It is a soft yeast cake, we deep-fry it and fill it with fruit jam or eat it empty with some powdered sugar on top, yummy! Once we are back on track after the Covid-19 restrictions are eased, you can learn about more delicious Hungarian sweets on our Free walking tours in Budapest!

News & The story of the world’s oldest Olympic champion, who also survived the Holocaust

Latest Hungarian Covid-19 related news

Right now there are about a 150 000 thousand people vaccinated with the 1st dose of the vaccination and about 12 500 with the second dose as well in our country. In the last two weeks the number of cases seems to be decreasing, but the threat has not yet passed.

You can read the short summary of the valid Covid-19 restrictions in Hungary in our previous blog article:

The story of Ágnes Keleti, the world’s oldest Olympic champion

This lady just celebrated her 100 birthday on the 9th of January which made her the world’s oldest living Olympic champion, we are very proud of her… 🙂 And now, let’s see her story…

The hundred year old Ágnes Keleti, the world's oldest living Olympic champion with her birthday cake on the 9th of January

100 year old Ágnes Keleti on the 9th of January (photo: Keleti 100 – Facebook page)

It is not rare that many famous sportsman are preparing for another profession, but then chance determines their career and “accidentally” they end up as some of world’s best sportsman… Ágnes Keleti wanted to be a violoncellist, she was talented, too, she had already performed at the Hungarian Academy of Music, but then a Christmas party came , when she was in high school.  She made a mistake… She wanted to play the swan (Saint Saens) when she was hit by a sudden “short circuit” and froze. She might have played in a symphony orchestra as an adult, she might have been one of the best cellists of Hungary.

But finally she became one of the most successful athletes of her age, whose name is known all over the world. If she had a little more luck, she would have won even more than five Olympic golds, she could have gotten up to eight. Of course, five is not a small thing, there is no other Hungarian athlete who won four golds at an Olympics. Unfortunately, they could not celebrate her successes, what’s more, after 1956 (there was a revolution in Hungary against the Communist dictatorship that year), she entered Hungarian territory again only in 1983, so she is hardly known at home…

She was 16 when she started doing gymnastics, at first just to entertain herself. However, Zoltán Dückstein, one of the good coaches of that era, noticed her talent. In 1940, when she was 20 years old, Keleti was already a Hungarian champion, if the Olympics were held that year, she would have had a place in the team… but since she’s Jewish, she could not be part of it. Unfortunately, because of her Jewish origins, the following years were more about survival, than doing sports…

Trying to survive

She took any kind of jobs what she could, she was a furrier’s apprentice, worked in a munition-factory, and used all tricks to survive. She did not put the stigmatizing yellow star on her clothes, and she bought the documents of a certain Piroska Juhász, she paid with all her valuables and money for it. Her uncle and cousin were taken in front of her eyes by the Arrow Cross (the Hungarian fascist party that supported the Nazis and the deportations of Jewish people in Hungary). Her wealthy father, who was a co-owner of a factory, died in Auschwitz. In 1944, the worst year of the Hungarian Holocaust, Keleti was hiding on the Hungarian countryside. Then in January, 1945 the siege of Budapest ended, and her husband returned  from the Mauthausen concentration camp in the spring weighing 33 kg…

A new beginning after WW2

By the fall of 1945, they already restored a gym to such condition that they could do sports there. They achieved that Rezsőné Herpich, the most prestigious coach of the era, was able to return from the expulsion, and the national team reunited. The team traveled to the 1948 London Olympics with the chance of winning, but Keleti was injured unexpectedly. She watched her team in London finish second behind the Czechoslovaks…

The first golden medal

Keleti was already 31 years old at the Olympics in 1952 in Helsinki and there she wanted to make her big dream come true and become an Olympic champion. They prepared for the final of the ambiguous railing under political pressure while knowing that they had to loose the golden medal and the Soviet team had to win it… However, Mátyás Rákosi (the leader of the Hungarian Communist party 1947-1956, during the period we call the “Heavy dictatorship”) changed his mind in the last minute and asked the team leaders to do everything for the Hungarian success.
You can learn more about the Communist dictatorship in Hungary after WW2 on our Communism tours in the future, when we start running our free tours again: https://www.triptobudapest.hu/tours/communism-walk/

Four gold medals from 1 Olympic games – a Hungarian record

In 1956 in Melbourne, where Keleti’s sister had been living, her farewell appearance ended with four gold medals, and if she didn’t have a spoiled jump, she could have won the fifth as well. Even so, there are two important records attached to her name:

  • No other Hungarian gymnast has ever won gold at two consecutive Olympics
  • To this day in Hungary, she holds the most Olympic medals (10) preceding swimmer Krisztina Egerszegi  and sprint canoer Danuta Kozák
  • Internationally, her performance is not small, Keleti has the third place in the eternal ranking of gymnasts behind the Soviet Larissa Latinyina and the Czechoslovak Vera Caslavska

Her life after 1956

Keleti did not return home to Hungary (like many other Hungarian sportsmen…) from the Melbourne Olympics. She settled down in Israel in 1957, married a Hungarian man there and had two sons. She came home first after the change of regime in 1989, and has visited several times since. She played a key role in the creation of Israeli gymnastics, and from 1958 to 1980 she was the federal captain of the Israeli national team, while preparing the Italian national team for the 1960 Olympics. The 3 things that describe her the most: Humor, love of life, laughter 🙂

We wish you these all over the world, especially during these hard times…

The story of Alexander Korda, world-famous film director and producer of Hungarian origin

Sir Alexander Korda, in Hungarian Sándor Korda, was born in 1893 in Túrkeve, Hungary and passed away in 1956 in London.
He was barely two years old, when thanks to the legendary French Lumière brothers, the world’s first public screening took place in Paris on December 28th, 1895, giving birth to movie theaters, cinemas that defined his entire life later.

Black and white photo of Sir Alexander Korda world-famous producer and director of Hungarian origin at work

During his young years, he tried journalism, preferred to publish articles on films, was a film critic, and then worked as a director from the age of 21. From 1916 he became the chief director of a film factory opened in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, the seventh film factory in the world. Jenő Janovics, the founder of this film factory, later recalled this period: “Not too long ago, the young Korda was daydreaming in the New York café in Budapest (one of the most famous and fancy cafés in Budapest from the 1800’s…) about having a not too well paid journalist job, then I made him sit on a train, come to Transylvania. And today? Sándor Korda, the founder of English national film production is celebrated by the audience of five continents of the world. ”

In 1917, he and Sándor Korda bought the Corvin Film Factory, whose Budapest studio became the stronghold of Hungarian film production for the next hundred years.
In the early 1920s, Korda tried his luck in the big world, he worked in Vienna, Berlin, and then Hollywood as well, where he became the director of an American film studio founded by Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin, among others.

Korda’s success in Britain

Eventually, Britain became the part of the world where he achieved his greatest success… He settled down in London and founded a film studio in 1932. His films were really spectacular, which only intensified with the appearance of color films. He has shot several internationally successful films and has even been nominated for an Oscar.

Korda had a huge hit in 1933 with “The Private Life of Henry VIII” that he directed. This film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and established Korda internationally and made a star of actor Charles Laughton. As a producer, Korda’s works include movies such as the “Jungle Book”, “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” or “Richard III”.

Korda was knighted in 1942, and the British Film Academy named the prize of the most outstanding films of the year after him.

His homeland, Hungary also cherishes his memory in a worthy way, he is the namesake of the Korda Film Studio established in Etyek, Fejér County not far from Budapest. It is worth a visit when you are in Hungary and have time after your Budapest sightseeing and after taking some of our free walking tours, it is an interesting and exciting adventure.
