    Beautiful Danube cruise with stunning views of the Parliament and Buda Castle. Especially magical at night with all the lights. Relaxing, smooth ride and totally worth it!

    A very beautiful Catholic church, St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary, was built over 50 years from 1851 to 1905. It is the tallest building in Budapest, along with the Parliament Building.

    The official website reservation was sold out four days in advance, and the ticket I got later through Ctrip could not choose the time period. As an important landmark of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is definitely a must-see landmark. Some of it is still used for official business, and most of it is for tourism. The whole process took one hour. The staff generally had average English. If you are late for more than ten minutes, the ticket will be invalid. It is important to remind you that the electronic ticket cannot be used directly and must be printed on paper. You can ask the hotel front desk for assistance.

    I have to say that the Chain Bridge looks good from any angle. If you want to take pictures from the angles of Figures 1-3, stand on the platform on the way to Buda Castle. Figures 4-5 are at the bridge head, which is right next to the No. 105 bus stop. The Leo restaurant and bar on the top floor of the Clark Hotel has an excellent viewing position. You can see the Parliament Building from the left side, and the Chain Bridge and Buda Castle from the right side. Figure 6 is on the protruding platform on the left side facing the Buda Castle.

    The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial erected to honour the Jews who were massacred by Fascist Hungarian militia belonging to the Arrow Cross Party in Budapest during the Second World War.The Jews were ordered to take off their shoes and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. The shoes which were valuable during that time were resold by the militia after the massacre.The memorial represents their shoes left behind on the bank. 👞

    Apart from anything else, the color of this bridge alone is the winner! The night view is just so-so. It is more beautiful during the day. Even with the light, the color is not very beautiful. It is enough to look at the Capitol at night. The Liberty Bridge is also very photogenic, but you have to walk to the middle of the red light to take better photos.

    Gellert Hill is located on the Buda side of Budapest, close to the Danube River, so it is the best place to view the Danube from a distance. In addition, you can also see the Buda Palace and the city landscape on the Pest side. The symbol of the city of Budapest given by the World Heritage is also on the side of the top of the mountain facing the Buda Palace. The statue here refers to the statue of the Statue of Liberty located on the top of the mountain.
