On the banks of the Danube, to the left is Buda, to the right is Pest

Fisherman's Bastion Arriving at Castle Hill, head straight for the white Fisherman's Bastion, which blends Neo-Gothic, Neo-Romanesque, and local Hungarian architectural styles, and its neighbor, Matthias Church (the second largest church in Buda during the medieval period). Buda Castle The castle, once built to defend against the Tatar invasions, now serves as an art/museum (when buying tickets, if there is only one hour left until the exhibition closes, the staff will kindly suggest visiting the next day. At least 2.5 hours are needed here). On Castle Hill, an inadvertent walk past a certain house may also reveal a surprise exhibit: Koller Gallery. Gellért Hill Starting the final 'struggle' up the stone steps at the entrance of the mountain tunnel, braving the rare extreme heat of Europe. Dragging heavy steps, a walk of more than ten minutes leaves one gasping for breath. But seeing the views through the branches along the way, and then the standing Statue of Liberty, one finds new strength in their feet. Find a spot on the little hill, sit or lie down on the marble platform, and feel the breeze of Budapest's summer. The feeling of capturing the city's multiple angles all by oneself, is like the joy those who love to reach the summit feel when they conquer Mount Everest.
