Tips for taking your favorite photo at Fisherman's Bastion. * ☽

#Travel tips for overseas #Hungary #Travel abroad Budapest is divided into the Buda and Pest districts across the Danube River💎 When you think of Budapest, the Pest district has the Parliament Building, restaurants, cafes, shops, and other downtown elements, but the view of the Parliament Building across the Danube is also very beautiful, and the Pest district is also a popular tourist spot🪸🫧 A must-see in the Pest district is Fisherman's Bastion (Japanese name: Fisherman's Bastion) 🕊️ As the name suggests, this place is like a fortress or even a castle, and of course it is beautiful in itself, but the view of the Parliament Building from here is just like a painting 🥺🫶🏼 I wanted to enjoy this view, so I stayed in the Pest area as a base and also stayed at the Hilton Budapest in the Buda area for one night 🌿 The second photo shows the view here, which changes with the time 🌙 The night view is also Before dawn, at sunrise, and after the sun has risen, they are all so beautiful that it's hard to choose a favorite 🤦♀️💕 The third photo was taken by 👦🏻 using the night mode on his smartphone, and after early morning, I went out alone in the darkness before dawn and took photos with a tripod and camera 📸 The trick to taking a good photo of the National Diet Building over the fort is to zoom in on your smartphone or camera 💡 This will make the National Diet Building appear larger 🥰 However, it is important to zoom in on the fort and people. The objects are also larger, so it is necessary to take the photos from as far away as possible... Even before 7am when I thought it would be quiet, there were a lot of people 😳 Tourist buses were coming in droves, and people who seemed to be tour groups were coming one after another 😅⚡️ It was quite a challenge to set up a tripod + camera in a faraway place and take photos by myself 😂 But because I was so persistent, I was very satisfied with the photos I was able to take ☺️✨ I thought there would be so many people there in the morning, but when I visited again two weeks later, it was a Saturday and around noon, so it was incomparably crowded 🤯It was like a theme park...😱 If you want to take your time taking photos at this spot, weekday mornings are a must, and if you want to enjoy the night view and early mornings, I recommend staying at the Hilton Budapest, which is about a 2-3 minute walk away ✍️ By the way...! Along the Danube in the Buda district, there are many hotels where you can enjoy a reasonable view of the Parliament Building across the river, but in fact, Fisherman's Bastion is on a small hill, so I don't recommend walking there and back, even though it is indicated on the map as a 15-minute walk from the Danube. You will end up climbing up and down steep slopes and endless stone-paved stairs. Along with Fisherman's Bastion, you should also enjoy Matthias Church behind the fort. The white walls are beautifully decorated, and the brown mosaic-patterned roof makes it feel like something out of a storybook. This is also a popular spot where you can enter for about 1,500 yen, so be sure to enjoy it together.
