Luckily, with the Internet and other media, it is becoming easier and easier to take a peek and see things as they were years, even decades ago. It is our good fortune to have stumbled upon this thrilling \u2013 yet somehow meditative \u2013 video that highlights gorgeous old photographs of Budapest as it was a century ago. And because we love putting locations in Budapest in front of your eyes, we went ahead and did a little photo research of our own and gathered a few of the same sites as they are now. It is amazing to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same. That\u2019s one of the things that makes Budapest such a fantastic place to work and film: the melding of the old and regal with the modern and sleek. But enough chattering, have a look at the video, then join us below for a cozy trip back in time. No need to bring your camera: we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Old Photos of Budapest 1900-1917\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NvZ8Y8gyzQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Lukacs Baths (.33 in the video):<\/p>\n<p>Hungarian Parliament (.50 in the video):<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2079\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2079\" src=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">via wikipedia commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Keleti Train Station (1.05 in the video)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2080\" src=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kalvin Square (1.09 in the video)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2081\" src=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-4-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-4-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-4-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fisherman&#8217;s Bastian (2:19 in the video)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2082\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2082\" src=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/flatpackfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/budapest-then-and-now-a-walk-through-the-ages-5-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">via By Ealdgyth &#8211; Own work, CC BY 3.0, https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=2674945<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Flatpack Films<\/strong> is based in Budapest, Hungary.
