i've just watched the third episode of Trinity Blood...

it's happening in Budapest (capitol of Hungary (a country in Europe)).

i'm hungarian and was in budapest a lot of times, so it was really fun
to see budapest shown in an anime...btw. they call the city the City of
Istvan (Istvan is the hungarian version of..hmmm..Stephan?)..

but it is ok, because the anime is happening in a post-apocalyptic
future, so it's quite possible that Budapest (or it's remains) were
renamed to City of Istvan..

one famous bridge in Budapest (Lanchid..in english it would be
Chain-bridge i think) can be seen very detailed in the anime.

screencaptures of the bridge in the anime:

the bridge was destroyed in the second world war (they detonated it with
explosives):

they rebuilt it to it's current form after the war.
