On the steep bank of the Danube stands this fortress-city, which is now rightfully considered the historical center of Budapest. There are so many interesting things that one visit can only run through the main attractions, and then dream about returning and seeing it again. The carved towers of the Fisherman's Bastion are so light and airy that it's hard to believe that this is a fortification. From the observation decks, amazing views of Pest open up. Looking into the waters of the Danube, the grandiose Parliament, the Chain Bridge. Mysterious Cathedral of St. Matthias. The Royal Palace will disappoint a little with its plastic windows! somehow not a palace at all. But the wonderful fountain "Hunting" compensates for all this. There are many museums in the area. And an art gallery and catacombs. Lots of interesting things. Then you can go down on the funicular and cross the Chain Bridge on foot. I haven't succeeded yet.
All this beauty is doubly enchanting in the evening when the backlight turns on! That's when to ride a boat on the Danube! 8 points for plastic windows.
