Fisherman's Bastion

4.7/5

Fisherman's Bastion is located on Castle Hill on the Buda side. Named to commemorate the fishermen who defended the Danube in days past, this fortress, together with the Hungarian Parliament Building and the Hungarian State Opera House, is celebrated as one of Hungary's three most awe-inspiring architectural works, and it also serves as an observation point overlooking the Danube and the scenery of the Pest district. Historical background Fisherman's Bastion stands on the banks of the Danube, adjacent to Matthias Church. Construction began in 1895, and the main structure was completed in 1902. This two-tiered grayish-white building is centered on a white spire in the Neo-Romanesque style, and together with several surrounding round towers, it represents the ancestral tribes of Hungary. The towers are connected by corridors, forming a maze-like layout. The several bronze statues on Fisherman's Bastion are also quite striking, among which the more famous is an equestrian bronze statue of a Hungarian king. Built in 1906, it is located between Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion, and the reliefs on its pedestal depict stories from the king's life. Visitor guide Fisherman's Bastion has many steps and pedestrian walkways, and as you climb up, you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Fisherman's Bastion has multiple tower observation terraces. If you encounter windy or rainy weather, it doesn't matter—the arched corridors of the observation terraces are great places to shelter from the rain and escape the heat. When you are tired, you can also rest on the benches in the corridors. Overlooking the view Standing on Fisherman's Bastion, you can take in magnificent views that cannot be fully seen even from the top of Castle Hill: the Danube, Margaret Island, the Chain Bridge, the Hungarian Parliament Building, and Gellért Hill all come into view. Fisherman's Bastion at night is also full of unique charm, and everything around it looks especially enchanting under the special lighting. Street performers on the terrace add to the atmosphere, making a visit here to enjoy the night view a highly romantic experience, and you can see many couples on dates here. The restaurant of the same name as Fisherman's Bastion has seating in both the north and south corridors of Fisherman's Bastion, offering a very pleasant dining environment. The restaurant has a terrace in the high tower, where drinking coffee while looking at the beautiful surrounding scenery is a delightful enjoyment.

It is a good experience to have in Budapest. Especially, after sunset when the city lights up and the illumination effects comes in. You get to see the historic sights and buildings along with an audio guide that gives the history around each of the sights and buildings. Views of the Hungarian parliament were awestruck as well as the history around it. Couple of things you shyou should ensure is to reach much before times (30-45mins) before start time to secure a good spot. It usually gets a little crowded and if you’re travelling in winters you must have all your winter gears from caps, gloves, muffler etc. as you will be standing in a queue right across the river under a bridge where the chilling winds blows very fast and you’ll have to stand there for at least 30 mins. You also has the option of choosing the cruise with drink or food or just the sightseeing. We selected only sightseeing which according to me is good enough as nearby you’ve multiple great restaurants to try food from

Fisherman's Bastion, a complex of buildings that perfectly blends Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque styles, is not only a symbol of Budapest but also a testament to the wisdom and courage of the Hungarian people.
