Castle Hill Funicular - Budapest, Hungary

The Castle Hill Funicular, also known as Budavári Sikló, is a historic cable railway located in Budapest, Hungary. It provides a charming and fuss-free way to reach the top of Castle Hill. The funicular has been part of Budapest’s transportation system since it first opened in 1870. It was initially steam-powered, but was later converted to electric operation. To experience the funicular, you simply have to cross the Chain Bridge to the Buda side of the city. The ride up to Castle Hill was really an enjoyable moment for me, and you can also enjoy the panoramic views of Budapest as you go higher. It’s open daily from 7:30am to 10pm, and cost 2,000 HUF for a round-trip. I highly recommend you to try it out! #wecreate #budapest #hungary #europe #darwintravel

Fisherman's Bastion

Budapest is the image of Europe in my mind. Budapest doesn't have "The Grand Budapest Hotel", but it has the most beautiful Castle Hill. Budapest is located on the banks of the Danube River (originally the water of the Danube and the Huangpu River are similar in turbidity), formed by the merger of Buda on the west bank of the Danube and Pest on the east bank. The famous Fisherman's Bastion and Buda Castle are on the Buda side, while the east bank has the Parliament Building and more abundant leisure and entertainment venues. Attractions Fisherman's Bastion, Buda Castle Hungarian Parliament Building, Citadella, a recommended attraction by locals, Danube River cruise | Recommended Legenda Cruise. Budapest: Evening Sightseeing Cruise and Unlimited Prosecco (1.5 hours). If you want to see the night view of the Parliament Building, it's best to book a few days in advance. We booked for 5:30 pm to watch the sunset, and both sides of the river were covered in golden light. Everyone on the boat was having a great time and the atmosphere was super fun, hahaha. These scenic spots have a lot of tourists! So if you want to take beautiful photos, sisters are advised to go early. You may need to go to Fisherman's Wharf at seven or eight o'clock to avoid crowds in the restaurant. Béchamel This breakfast is really delicious! We ate here for two consecutive days and recommend the Turkish Eggs and Croque Madame. Menza Restaurant and Café Authentic Hungarian cuisine, recommended dishes include Roasted duck liver with sour cherry sauce and mashed potatoes (Cherry Duck Liver) and Hungarian goulash soup (beef soup with a Chinese-style flavor). This walk-in restaurant does have seating outside of meal times, but it's best to make a reservation in advance. Comme Chez Soi It's too popular, couldn't get a table even after two walk-ins, always fully booked no matter what time, so if you're coming to Budapest, make sure to call/email and make a reservation a few days in advance. Budapest has too many delicious foods, almost no chance of disappointment, and the prices are very cheap! Transportation Bolt taxi app allows cash payment without card binding. Payment; calling a car is very convenient, basically arriving in two or three minutes; the price is not expensive, and if you don't live too far away, it's only a few euros to go to various scenic spots. BudapestGO public transportation can be used with this app. Budapest doesn't need too much planning, the distance between attractions is close, and it's beautiful to walk around everywhere! It's very safe here, and people are friendly
