English Summary:
Budapest is already an elderly lady, slowly getting on in years as she heads towards Europe. Her houses recall a more and more romantic past, and have incredible stories to tell. Looking back from the vantage point of passing time, the stone carvings of the ancient Matthias Church and thoseof the more recent Fishermen's Bastion merge into one. More and more ghost-figures tread the narrow inner-city streets and the wide boulevards; the stories narrated by the shabby houses become more and more exciting. If we manage to ignore the cars parked on the pavement which block our way, and allow ourselves to be carried away y the atmosphere, the city will tell us a most fascinating tale.
