Me and my partner went here and had the best time it was such a funny experience. For the price of the ticket it is great value for money you get a printed photo per person to keep. We was only in there for 45 mins to an hour but would recommend as a little stop off

Lovingly restored after being reduced to rubble during World War II, this picturesque area is located in the heart of medieval Budapest, which is characterized by cobblestone streets, narrow alleys and lovely squares surrounded by baroque and classical buildings.

We decided to spend almost one day on the Buda side of Budapest and walk the hills of Buda Castle and see the beautiful attractions over there and also watch the beautiful views of Budapest from up there on the hills. The main attractions on the Buda side include Buda Castle, Hungarian National Gallery and Budapest History Museum, terraces of Fisherman’s Bastion, and Matthias Church. From our hotel in the city center, we could take a bus directly to Fisherman’s Bastion or walk. We decided to walk since we could see the beautiful Chain Bridge again and also walk up the Buda Castle Hills and see the panoramic views of the city. It took us about 45 minutes to walk from our hotel Moments to the top of the hills. It is of course hilly, but is a nice walk. On our way, we passed the Buda Castle, National Gallery and Budapest History Museum, Fisherman’s Bastion, and Matthias Church. These are all beautiful structures. We skipped going inside the buildings since we wanted to spend more time outside and see the views of the city. Of all these sites, the Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church are truly magnificent and we really liked Fisherman’s Bastion. The structures and the views from there are really fantastic. I will review Fisherman’s Bastion separately. The Matthias Church is an amazingly beautiful building. We did not go inside, but the outside structure is so colorful and pretty. All together, we spent about 4 hours walking the Buda Castle Hill and other attractions on the Buda side and took the bus directly from there back to the city center on the Pest side, about 15 minutes bus ride. The walk was very nice and we all enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend it.

Built during the 19th century for the Hungarian Millennium celebrations, this mock bastion features pointed towers and turrets, reminiscent of the fairytale castles in Disney World.

If you love pictures you certainly cannot miss the most popular selfie location...We had the perfect day on Buda side exploring the Budapest Castle grounds, followed by Fisherman's Bastions and the top of Buda where there is a beautiful garden and a stunning little village and church. The Buda sightseeing bus is the perfect way to get yourself to each stop without too much walking. When you get to the Fisherman's Bastions make sure to look at the views as long as take a selfie and group picture, the architecture is really beautiful. I would suggest going early so that you can appreciate the place without all the crowd. Pictures on @lessiaestil

We arrived at the destination of the Heroes square only to be a little confused as the square was completely enclosed with high advertising sheets and temporary seating erected around the square as a special celebration day was taking part in that of juvenile horse racing. No seating available to watch the celebration. We eventually found an entrance to gain a sight of the Heroes Sq. It's the largest and most impressive square in Budapest. The Millennium Monument. It is situated at the end of Andrassy Avenue &next to City Park. It is surrounded by two important buildings the Museum of Fine Arts & Kunsthalle ( Hall of Art). The Millennium Monument in the middle of the square was erected to commerate the 1000 yr old history of the Magyars conquest. The Arch Angel Gabriel stands on top of the centre pillar, 36mtrs high holding the Holy Crown & the apostolic Double Cross of Christianity. The Chieftains who led the Magyar tribes to Hungary are featured on the plinth between the colonnades to the left and right. Statutes of the Kings and other important historical figures stand on top of the colonnades on either side of the centre pillars. If you look on the left of the colonnade the last five spaces were reserved for members of the ruling Hamburg family dynasty. The Hamburg Emperors were replaced with Hungarian Freedom fighters when the Monument was rebuilt after WW11. At the front of the Millennium Monument is a large stone Cenotaph surrounded by an ornamental Chain. The Cenotaph is dedicated "To the Memory of the Heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of the people & the National Independence". To get to Heroes Sq take the metro M1 (Millennium metro) to Hosok Tere station. It's worth a visit to the square both during the day and night, then walk along Andrassy Ave to window shop or sit and have a quiet drink and watch the world go by or stroll over to City Park where the winter skating takes place

Recently traveled to Budapest and discovered this fabulous collection of connected courtyards filled with great restaurants, fun bars and interesting shops. This is the hippest spot in town filled with tourists and locals alike, housed in the old Jewish Quarter and open until the wee hours of the night. Such a variety of excellent food and music it was hard to decide which to choose. Wish we had more time to try them all !

Located in the vicinity of the Hungarian Parliament (in the direction of the Chain Bridge), on the banks of the Danube, the shoes along the promenade is a memorial to all those shot into the Danube by the Arrow Cross militia. You'll see big and small shoes, boots, elegant shoes, children's shoes, etc. symbolizing the fact that no one was spared. The place is symbolic inasmuch as that wasn't the only spot where the executions took place, but in several other places along the banks of the river. It's especially touching during sunset and evening.
