Go to Budapest to find a fairy tale world, nanny-level guide.

On one side of the river is Buda, on the other side is Pest. A chain bridge connects the two cities, creating Budapest. This city, known as the "Pearl of the Danube", is the favorite city in Eastern Europe. Here are some must-visit attractions in Budapest: 🌟 Vintage Yellow Tram: Obsessed with the yellow tram on the streets. This type of tram can be found all over Budapest, and its vintage style matches the city's atmosphere. Trams run back and forth on the Green Bridge. 🌟Green Bridge: The Green Bridge, also known as the Freedom Bridge, is not actually named after freedom, but after Franz Joseph. Yes, the emperor husband of Empress Sisi. Movies are movies, and art is indeed higher than life. Empress Sisi lived her whole life for freedom, so it makes sense to rename the bridge after freedom. 🌟Matthias Church: Matthias Church is a beautiful neo-Gothic church and one of the symbols of Budapest. It contains various colors of Hungarian folklore, Art Nouveau style, and Turkish design, especially the white spire and colorful roof next to it, adding some interest and vividness to the whole church. The painted glass and murals inside the church are also highlights not to be missed. 🌟Fisherman's Bastion: Located next to the Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion is a neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque lookout where you can overlook the Danube River and the Parliament Building. However, it is crowded with tourists all day long, so if you want to take pictures with fewer people, you still need to get up early. 🌟Palace: Taking a leisurely stroll in front of the palace gate is a serious matter for tourists visiting Budapest. The observation deck is free to enter, but as a person without much cultural knowledge, I probably wouldn't understand much in the museum inside. The most enjoyable activity is riding the small cable car up the hill, where you can see the Parliament Building on the opposite bank from the observation deck. Of course, there are also many tourists. 🌟Parliament Building: The Parliament Building is a typical Gothic architecture, standing on the banks of the Danube River. This building, which took 8 years to complete and is 96 meters high, used a luxurious 40 kilograms of gold as building materials. It is said that the reason why the height is 96 meters is because the Kingdom of Hungary was founded in AD 896, and it was founded again in 1896, so it has a commemorative significance. 🌟Garrett Mountain: Garrett Mountain is a great place to take night scenery photos. The Viking cruise ship is docked at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is not high, probably about the same height as Sheshan. The round trip is very easy, and if you feel tired, you can take a taxi up and down the mountain. There is a Statue of Liberty on the top of the mountain, where you can overlook the panoramic view of the Danube River.
