Fisherman's Bastion – it is one of favourite nooks of residents of Budapest – especially in love, on account of the fairy-tale romantic character of the building. The tower team is stretching out between the lock and old church. Once he constituted the registered office of the fishing guild which in the Middle Ages defended this part of the city against attacks by the enemy, at his feet whereas a fish market was – hence the name of the tower. From walls of the building a superb view is extending to the Donau with the lace building of the Parliament in the foreground.

Actually in real life it is a little less grotesquely painted but the place is amazing and one of my favorite in Budapest. Other travelers, who submitted their testimonials, are absolutely right - it is much more interesting to visit it in the evening when there are not so many visitors (especially if you stay in Hilton that is right by the Bastion:-)...there is a very beautiful panoramic view on Pesht - very recommended in other words!

Wonderful place in mountainous Buda. Amazing panorama of the Parliament, the Danube and the rest of the city! Especially great at sunset! You can walk up or take a funicular. Other amazing sites are easy to get to!

Vanuit het vissersbastion heb je een adembenemend zicht op de beide stadsdelen. Het gebouw biedt trouwens veel mogelijkheden voor mooie foto's. Misschien het enige nadeel is dat er altijd veel volk rond loopt, dat doet vaak wat van de sfeer af.

What a specacular view of the city! While on that side of the river be sure to try one of the little cafes but try to get a block or two away from the touristy area. Be sure to try the baths at The Gellert Hotel. It feels so good
