Day of Imre in Hungary. It comes from German Amalrich, Emmerich which means powerful, famous, royal.
An another bridge of Budapest. The Elizabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd) with the palace of Buda in the background. Actually this photo was taken right beside the green Szabadság (freedom) Bridge I posted the other day. So in the downtown bridges are pretty close to each other.

The right answer to the previous question was C, roman catholic
The 2001 Census of Population shows there are 10.198.315 people in Hungary altogether.
Among them:
5.289.521 Roman Catholic
1.622.796 Reformed
304.705 Evangelic
But it doesnt mean that so many people are religious in Hungary. They are baptisted maybe but if we look at the statistics how many people visit the churches we find that around 13% (1,3 millon) people are in fact religious. Hungarian society is rather secular.

The bridge and the palace are both beautiful. Doesn't look too cold there yet by what the people are wearing.
Danube, as well as the bridges across it, have a very important role in my life. Thank you for these postings! Have a nice Sunday! Oh, and what's the wiki list :)?
A, including railway crossings.
C As far as I could find out 10 and 1 under construction
faye pekas...the photo was taken a bit earlier..but it was definitelly a cold day. I was in pullover and coat there and these crazy tourists maybe expected something tropical:)
I won't try to guess the number of bridges but I love yesterday's Bakats square church, your photo is magnificent.
PS - I am delighted to now be able to pronounce your name!
ce panorama est superbe. pour les ponts, je voterais pour B.
Bon dimanche
this panorama is superb. for the bridges, I would vote for B. Good Sunday
What an attractive photo - the splash of red against the gray background. It's very interesting to look and look at all the sites and people.
Poeple, bridges and palaces all in one shot. Superb! I guess B.
never been to Budapest, but my Mom did and she loved it, it looks like it's a great bridge city.
this is what i found: "Altogether Budapest has 7 bridges and two for trains."?!
so my answer would be:
A, 9
i'm not really sure if i found the correct answer but still it's interesting to learn more abut Budapest every day. very good quiz.
i like this photo! the real city with people)))
not long ago i've read in newspaper about Budapest, as i remember there are 9 bridges :)
A, 9
I like the way the distant city is cradled in the curve of the bridge. I'll take a wild guess. How about "C"??
Ah, interesting. Shame your new hid won't be named after Stephen Colbert. I think half of America voted for the "Stephen Colbert Hid" in Budapest, anything to prevent another world landmark being named after Chuck Norris again.
Oh, forgot to answer the question. I'm going to guess 9 with the tenth being built. (?)
Hungary Hungary Hiplomat!
And lastly, a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEjOUWf1jzE
in case you don't watch the Colbert Report over there. This is when the Hungarian Ambassador to the UN came to give Colbert a passport and announce he won. Unfortunately, he'd have to be dead to have anything named after him.
Magnificent view!
9 bridges? :)
thank you for the comments!:)
It seems you know a lot about Hungary.:) And its good.:)
James..the Colbert híd story was just funny. But its not in Budapest its a bit to the north. And of course finally they didnt choose Colbert..it will be called Megyeri Híd which refers to the area. I am glad they didnt call it after a person because they always change names after the new ideologies. Hopefully Megyeri will be Megyeri in 100 years too:)
