As a American I was married to a Hungarian girl from Zebegeny we went to Esztergom many times...The cathedral there is magnificent....No more wife but looking forward to going back to Hungary soon to visit. She said they use to go during the soviet times across to Austria to buy food but the border guards would stop you and check your car and if they found food they would take it so her dad made secret compartments in the car to hide all the meat...
I was born and raised in Esztergom, it was really nice to see you there. The green building where you pointed at 9:02 is Bottyán János school there is a Bottyán János bust inside and the students are always touching his nose for luck. Also at 10:36 that is a Piros Kakas ( red rooster 🐔) and it’s the symbol of Párkány( Šturovo 🇸🇰) Keep up the good work as a local I can still learn from you.
I was born in Esztergom and also spent my high school years there. Actually you were passing by next to it around 12:30 I live in UK and this video brought me back some nice memories and I am thankful for that. Congratulations and keep doing it 🎊 🎉😊
Great video! Wonderfully narrated and produced. More knowledge and enthusiasm than most people can muster. Great seeing you again-Steve from Egressy-Gabor High School.
Glad to see you came back for another Esztergom video! The building behind you in the opening scene used to be his house, and in the place of the building all covered up on the corner used to be his brewery. Esztergom also has a street named after his wife.
Thank you for your enthusiasm for my hometown - and I love that people recognized you! I actually went to Bottyàn Jànos preschool/kindergarten (Bottyàn Ovi) 😉. It was up the street from city hall (yellow building) in the beginning of the video. So thanks for spotlighting Bottyàn Jànos - Esztergom has such a long history with so many important figures, I feel like Vak Bottyàn doesn’t always get the attention he deserves. Well done!
Just found your channel. My husband love to go to Hungry. My mother and father use to talk about Eszterbom. I think we had family there. Love for you to do a video about Tatabanya.
Hey Willie! Greetings from the UK! I’m from Esztergom originally and can truly say I thoroughly enjoyed this virtual walk in my home town with you! Köszönöm!!! 😊 Keep doing what you’re doing - awesome content!
2:10 Trnava Hugnarian? As far as I know, Trnava was always Slovak/German. Where did you get that information from that Trnava was a Hungarian hot bed if I may ask? Btw. Nice video :) Enjoyed, your walking tour.
@@gabor247 No. The original name was something like Tyrnavia but it was later changed to Nagyszombat. And for your second argument. The fact that the city has a Hungarian name doesn't provide *any* evidence that the people are of Magyar origin. Trnava never had Magyar population.
@@dsodragus4616 There’s two towns in Czechia near the Slovak border. Uhorske Hradesty and Uhershy brod. That’s your evidence. Every cm in the Carpathians has been Hungarian land for the past 1000 years.

Itt már voltál egyszer!! Úgy látszik imádod ezt a várost! ÉS TELJESEN IGAZAD VAN!! Esztergom imádnivaló!!
Nagyon tetszik ahogy bemutatod magyarország nevezetességeit és történelmét egy külföldi szemével jók a videók.👏
Come to Jászberény too!

That rooster coat of arms, on the bridge, Párkány's coat of arms. :D
Nice work Willie.

The "Rooster" symbol is the crest/symbol of Stúrovo/Párkány (The city of the slovakian side of the bridge)

It’s original name is Nagyszombat. The holy crown of Hungary 🇭🇺 still can be seen on the top of the basilica in centre of the city.

Gyere jászberénybe is
Hi. Esztergom can make with lego (100 000pcs) MOC-124876
Everything looks so old, shabby and empty. Where are people?
Julia do you need glass we have been shown lovely places
Far from the most charming. If you try to live in Esztergom you will see the diffrence. Avoid with children!
