Sándor Petőfi was a #Hungarian poet and liberal revolutionary. He is considered #Hungary's national #poet, and was one of the key figures of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. This subtle #monument to him is high up on the corner of a #building on Kossuth Lajous U in #Budapest. #IgersBudapest #IgersHungary #politics #history #culture #fact #education #travel #tourism #tourist #leisure #life #sculpture #art #memorial

The next stop after #Bratislava, was #Budapest, which was a 2 hour and 40 minute train journey away.

The old #Slovak National #Theatre in #Bratislava. This Neo-Renaissance theatre #building is in the #OldTown of Bratislava, #Slovakia and dates back to 1886. There is now a new modern National Theatre building on the bank of the #Danube.

An old #Bratislava #tram, the network dates back to 1895, these particular work horses have been running since the days of the #Soviet Union!

This rather interesting trip hazard piece of public #art in #Bratislava is called #Cumil. The #bronze #sculpture is of a man peeping out of the manhole. According to locals he is either resting after cleaning the sewer or is looking under women's skirts! He has lost its head twice due to inattentive drivers! Rubbing his #head allegedly makes wishes come true... #Slovakia #IgersSlovakia #Igersbratislava #travel #tourism #tourist #leisure #life #education #culture #history

A little #perspective beneath the #steel and #concrete underside of the #MostSNP #bridge over the #River #Danube in #Bratislava. The bridge is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 303 metres. It was completed in #1972. In the distance on the left is Bratislava #Castle, which dates back to the 9th Century, although it was completely rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s. #architecture #explore #travel #tourism #tourist #education #fact #culture #history #Winter #snow #IgersBratislava #IgersSlovakia

#Warsaw's #Palace of #Culture & #Science, as it is #illuminated at #night along with the #HardRockCafe #guitar, it is the tallest building in the city at 237 metres to the top of the #antenna. It hosts an observation deck over the #city at 114 metres, as well as #museums and #theatres. It was completed in 1955, when #Poland was under #Soviet occupation, and whilst it is a top #attraction, many locals consider the building a colonial stain from their country's dark #history, nick naming it "#Stalin's Wedding Cake". #IgersWarsaw #IgersWarszawa #IgersPoland #IgersPolska #architecture #education #fact #Travel #tourism #tourist #leisure #life
