Budapest is a city I wouldn't mind settling down in!
Ó, boldog Szocializmus!! Köszönet a filmért .
Gorgeous city. Today much more beautifull
But you have to stay only on the main streets and boulevards. The inner streets has a lot of parking cars blocking the sidewalk and beware of dog 💩. And don't use the metro during the summer, no AC on them.
@@grey_mouse I have been there a lot of times. The metros have airco. Almost all of then have
@@exstazius Then why people complained about the hot metro cars during summer? 24.hu/belfold/2020/07/22/karacsony-gergely-ezert-nincs-meg-klima-a-3-as-metron/
This is interesting, as it was while Hungary was still a Communist state, just 4 years later, the iron curtain lifted in Hungary
Yeah it’s quite fascinating. Not a big fan of communism but the stars everywhere are cool😂
How clear and organized was Budapest in the 80s! Living cost was cheaper, public safety existed, people were happier.
As a Hungarian I can confirm this. Our leader Kádár János worked for the people, he never stoled money like today's politicians.
@@janoskadar9164 Yes , Kádár era was the home of cleptocracy for communist IMPEX mafia. The communist IMPEX mafia stole 230 billion dollars during the Kádár era. See: czcams.com/video/Zxih2xE_jYs/video.html
@@michaelwalcund7574 No. We HAD TO join the impex in 1982.
@@janoskadar9164lmao why can u confirm anything u know just as much as us being from there doesn’t mean shit and Hungary was notoriously corrupt back then idiot
@@janoskadar9164Jánoska 😂😂
Wonderful city, puts Paris to shame
Paris really ? i mean im hungarian but i think that our museum is still far off compared to louvre, so i dont know what to say. i mean our parliament definitely looks better than palais bourbon and so does any of our bridges compared to parisian bridges. but still ? why do you think it humiliates paris ?
Amazing. I travelled to Budapest a couple of years after this film. A beautiful city but my main memories are the incredibly aggressive and obnoxious North African money changers in the station and the difficulty of finding a functioning restaurant to buy meals. A weird time there with the benefit of hindsight.
0:47 Communist Hungary was known as "the happiest barracks" in the Communist bloc.
Yes but we had the most disgusting communist leaders in communist block. Sad times...
In Hungary there was no communism, only socialism, big difference, only common thing that it was because of the soviets
@@matedeee Not at all. Did you live in Africa between 1945-1990??? I lived in Hungary so don't tell me this bullsht.
@@gaborpinter3637 A kommunizmus az államtalan, osztálytalan és pénztelen társadalom. Nem hinném, hogy ez volt itt 1945-1990ig.
@@gaborpinter3637 I think Ceaușescu is more disgusting than the hungarian communist leaders
Surely !!! It looked so organised, entertaining and atheistic !
8 years after this, I visited the place
Been there with my lovely dad who was born in Hungary in 1927 💙
I lived there in 2006-7, a period which coincided with anti-government riots, the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Uprising, and Puskas' funeral. The winter was the mildest I've ever experienced, and summer 2007, the hottest. Interesting in many ways, but a year was enough. Now stuck in Bratislava.
@crazyclive Wanted a change and had enough of Budapest.
@crazyclive Hard to say but it was easy to pick up teaching work. Salaries are low but so is rent. Yes the ladies are generally pretty :)
That's good to hear. I mean, Budapest is always a depressing city, no matter how beautiful the architectures seem to be.
The level of unhappiness and aggressiveness is higher than most European cities, and of course, even less happier than some third world cities.@@cashcrop70
Lord why do watching these old Videos make me so sad.Maybe Because the people in the Video may no longer be around to talk to.....
Budapest hasn’t changed abit.
The Children's Railway is still there as well: gyermekvasut.hu/en/home/
I know, right? No matter how many times I press the replay button on the video, it's still the same! Those Hungarians never change...
I completely agree. I was there just before COVID-19.
It has changed a lot. Many, many residential parks and glass office buildings everywhere. Lot of homeless people, african and arab migrants... And agressive gypsies with pocket knives. Public safety became worse in the last 30 years, especially during Fidesz government. Thank you, Pintér "kéthétalattrendlesz" Sanya!
@@aqua5516Vizes mackó.
The last part became an advertisement for the French hotel company. Nice video clip though seeing the Communist country that Hungary once was.
I am here.
👍🤓😎👍🤘
the blessings of communism
2020, the USSR came the to the UK, now I wish I was in the 80s.
Its not the USSR that came to the UK, but the effects of a rotting American empire along with rotting liberalism. Europa can not find peace,civility, or sovereignty when we have US bases across our fields and when our American friends pressured our spineless politicians to take in migrants from the 3rd world after the US pressured our spineless politicians to goose step into regime changes and wars that have cost Europa our men, our cities, and frankly our country. The US couldn't live with a strong Russia or China or Japan, what makes you think they'll live with a strong Europe.
You don`t even understand what kind of crap you wrote. In the Soviet Union there wasn`t ANY private property on the means of production. it was a completely different economic system. And they never had the disorder with migration like the one you`re having now in Europe. No homelessness, no unemployment. You compare a neoliberal economy under imperialism with socialism. How ignorant.

Communism and poverty!
Capitalism and oligarkhs.
@@runoflife87 Hungary in the 1980s was a country of the 3rd world, maximum at the level of Peru!
@@norikmalxas3781 Hungary is a second world country.
@@norikmalxas3781 the real proof that you never been there, just judging by the outdated standards of communism/ capitalism
@@rogervanreijcke2003 Today yes, the second World! But in the 1980s definitely the 3rd world! Where is now Austria and where is Hungary the mure? Especially in the 1980s! K. G. B. Terrorist organization and anti human regime abandoned Hungary 50 years ago!
