This march I went to Budapest to compare the battlefield to the FB maps. Here are photos from my trip. Almost everyone starting to play FB will probably know this area as the first two scenarios ("Uncles and Pups" and "The devil's free to have a try.") use this part of the mapboard.
No tour of the battlefield is complete without having a look at the tennis courts (as seen from Varosmajor utca).
Standing on Varosmajor utca (H36) and looking at the cogwheel railway bridge.
close up view of the bridge.
View of the elevated RR from H36. The wooden building in G36 doesn't exist anymore.
View of the bridge from the other side of the RR (from hex G39)
Terminus of the tram line.

The cogwheel railway station
We were looking for the "White Villa" but it looks like it has been replaced by the Hotel Budapest. (view from D31)
