The Streets of Pest

Like other European cities, Budapest features many of the great, winding streets with pastel walls and rooftops that all seem to melt together in a logical way and make the world look like a beautiful labyrinth. Many of the walls in Pest are more ragged and in disrepair than some of the cities I've seen in Eastern Europe, but the overall effect of this neglect is that it really suits these old buildings, lending character and tradition to the impression. It's amazing to me to see full streets and neighborhoods within the depths of a city without a familiar commercial brand or neon sign in sight!
