| | Budapest Tourism - List of the Most Interesting Sights of Pest Side |
 | | Museum based around the collection of Hungarian businessman Ferenc Hopp, who by the time of his death in 1919, had amassed a huge collection of works from India and the far east. |
 | | The galleries of the museum, which surrounded a central hall of white marble supposedly modelled on the Alhambra in southern Spain, contain a wonderful array of Hungarian furniture dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, Art Nouveau and Secessionist artefacts, and objects related to the history of trades and crafts. |
 | | Unfortunately, the café, which was once the haunt of Budapest's most famous poets and playwrights, was rammed unceremoniously by a Russian tank during the 1956 uprising (it also suffered significant bomb damage during WWII). |
