Budapest might not be one of Europe’s most popular capitals, but it definitely deserves a place on that list. Some of our favorite recording artists were enchanted by its beauty – and you’ll be too after watching music videos they filmed in this city.
Ellie Goulding, Diplo, Swae Lee – Close To Me
The stunning visuals in Goulding’s video for single “Close To Me” basically make up the most beautiful love letter to Budapest we’ve ever seen. In these three-odd minutes, the young singer takes us through a series of scenic locations in the Hungarian capital, including Fisherman’s Bastion and the Gellert Baths.
Katy Perry – Firework
Katy Perry’s hit single “Firework” is probably the most popular song whose video was filmed in Budapest. In addition to sending a powerful message, this video shows famous the hit-maker singing and dancing around Budapest, and it begins and ends with incredible aerial shots of the city.
Selena Gomez & The Scene – Round & Round
One of Selena Gomez’s early hits shows Budapest in incredible detail, and offers a look at several of the city’s main attractions: Parliament, Buda Castle, the Chain Bridge and the Astoria Hotel among them.
