Explore Budapest [ Part 1 ]

Seeing these three cities (Budapest, Vienna, and Prague) ultimately by foot, we walked an average 12,000 steps everyday during the trip. Not to say, It’s all wakable cities, transportation is well connected too. We spent 3 full days to explore each city, and yet we had only barely managed to cover the main attractions of every cities, while we only stretched the surface of what they had offered.






Let’s talk about the first country of our visit- Budapest, it stands out as one of the old fashioned cities in Europe but somehow Budapest is a heaven of cheap and amazing food. The iconic buildings like Buda Castle, Hosok tere , Fisherman’s Bastion, and St. Stephen's Basilica reflect the culture and history of Budapest.

The night view is stunning, especially after sunset, where all the lights hit on the bridge, the building, and the streets.


Fisherman's Bastion

Situated on the Buda bank, Fisherman's Bastion is located on Castle Hill. For the great way to explore this attraction and this city as well, walking could take in more of the local scenery than taking public transportation. Believe it or not. I'll prove you right.






Fisherman's Bastion: This platform provides panoramic view where you can capture the view of the city and all along the Danube River.
