We have been making and using stairs to ascend and descend since, perhaps, we first began to walk on two legs. The incredibly simple structure of the staircase plays a huge role in our daily lives. It is perhaps owing to its ancient structure that there is something a little bit mystical about a staircase. It always leads somewhere, its rhythmic elements taking us upward or permitting us to descend. Its twentieth-century version -the escalator - slithers into the depths, or elevates us to the street or to a higher level, giving us a view from an elevated perspective. Let's take a walk and explore the world of Budapest's staircases. You'll see the city's stairs in a completely fresh new light, and you'll miss the ones that once were there but are now gone forever.
