Budapest

Fisherman's bastion is a viewing terrace on   Buda castle hill with great views over Danube. The terrace appears older than it is, as it has only been built in early 1900s. The area is popular with tourists, so the cafes and vendors are a bit overpriced. Come for the view, and enjoy a moment of feeling like a Disney-princess (or a prince).

The medieval church of Matthias is situated on a busy town square in Buda. I admired the colorful bricks and beautiful pattern on the roof. Later I discovered that the church had been heavily damaged in World War II, and has been renovated twice after that.
The view from the terrace of Fisherman's Bastion is quite spectacular, I wish the weather had been clearer. If you visit by day, like me, return here for awesome early evening pictures!
Perfect blue sky and perfect blue river!! View from the Fisherman's Bation overlooking the Parliament building!!❤️
