"There is such a panoramic view from here that practically at a distance of 50 km you can see, half of the country with little exaggeration. People always like spectacular things. We don't need things like the London Eye or something like that. This Castle Quarter is a real cultural heritage of Hungary, which is unique and can not be found anywhere else. Just like the Parliament building on the opposite bank of the river, which is also exceptional. I think it is one of the top 10 buildings in the world. To be able to see such a panoramic view from here is an unmatched phenomenon.”

"Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I say this without being biased. I would say it can compete with New York City, even with London, Paris, or any other city in the world, because it is a cultural place that has preserved its traditions. (Buda)Pest did not stand in line in the sense that the abundance of newly built houses did not ruin the skyline of the city. Old monuments and buildings have been preserved and it is important for Budapest.”

18. Various shots of the former royal palace
