Budapest Castle Hill Day Tour - Fisherman's Bastion, Matthias Church, Buda Castle

#castle #100 ways to travel #BudapestCastle Hill is a must-see attraction when visiting Budapest. Due to its high fortress terrain, you can overlook the entire Szechwan Chain Bridge and the Danube River, as well as the Parliament Building on the opposite bank, with a very broad view. Castle Hill has an open terrain and three must-visit buildings, namely #Fisherman's Bastion, #Matthias Church, and #Buda Castle, which are recognized as World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations. ✓ Transportation strategy: There are three ways to get there: walking, bus, and cable car. It is recommended to take the cable car up the mountain (Castle Hill Cable Car), walk all the way to Buda Castle, and then take the bus down the mountain (Bus No. 16) after arriving. You can also go the other way around. ✓ Must-see attractions: * #Fisherman's Bastion is a high tower castle built in the 18th century. It consists of 7 spires, representing the 7 leaders who established the Hungarian Empire. The building itself is in typical Roman style, with the semicircular arch being the most classic representative. The gray-white exterior is both low-key and particularly eye-catching next to the gorgeous Matthias Church. The Fisherman's Bastion Observation Deck is divided into two floors. The lower floor is free to visit, and the upper floor ticket price is 1,200 forints. You can overlook the Danube and the cityscape of Pest. * #Matthias Church has a 700-year history. It is a rare Gothic asymmetrical church with a stone spire and a roof inlaid with gorgeous mosaics. It is particularly dazzling and can be said to be the most popular church in Budapest. The interior of the church is decorated with stained glass and ceiling paintings. It also has the largest king's organ in Budapest, and music performances are held from time to time. You need to buy a ticket to enter the building, and the ticket price for the interior and the tower is 1,800 forints. *#Buda Castle The largest building complex on Castle Hill, also known as the Buda Palace, is now planned as the Hungarian National Art Gallery, the Hungarian National History Museum, as well as the Rock Hospital and the underground maze, all of which are worth exploring, but they all require money to buy tickets. The free guard changeover could be something to try. Although it's slightly inferior to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, it's taller and stronger than the others. The entire Budapest Castle Hill is really huge and it takes a whole day to visit it slowly. If you are tired, you can take a rest in the beautiful Castle Starbucks, wait until the sun sets in the evening and enjoy the beautiful Danube sunset, or you can continue your night tour of the Parliament Building. #EasternEuropeFreeTravel #BudapestTravel #Castle #100TravelWays #Danube
