Summary
Fisherman’s Bastion Experience
As promised, here’s the second part of the Budapest post! It continues from where we left off, so grab yourself a cuppa and let’s carry on with our exploration of Budapest! Now, where did we stop? Yup – that’s right, it was raining quite heavily, and we trudged along. Fortunately, this part of the sightseeing involved a huge walk uphill to Fisherman’s Bastion, which was worth it by the time we got to the top as the views over Budapest were spectacular!
Fisherman’s Bastion itself was pretty grand to look at! (Refer to the pictures for what I’m referring to… 🙂 )
Matthias Church Visit
Told you Fisherman’s Bastion was quite impressive. Oddly enough, it felt even more mythical and mysterious shrouded in the shadows that nighttime offers! Plus, it was raining, so it was nice to stay a bit dry!
Next to it, though, is Matthias Church! Another rather impressive sight at night!
Progression Down to Chain Bridge
Finally, we bade farewell to the top of the hill and started to make our way down slowly! The rain wasn’t too bad at this point (in fact, halfway down it pretty much stopped), making it a pleasant amble down to the city. We ended up near the end of the Chain Bridge…
With views of Buda Castle looking over the Chain Bridge…
Finally, we made our way to the bridge and headed to our hotel…
Exploring Heroes’ Square
…and walked past St. Stephen’s Basilica again. Pretty great at night too, more impressive looking than during the day to be honest. 🙂 The outside, anyway…
Finally back at the hotel, we quickly changed into dry clothes and headed straight back out again! This time, food was definitely on the agenda!
Food Adventures in Budapest
Thankfully, I suggested a detour, which took us straight to Heroes Square!
Flanked by the Palace of Art…
… and the Museum of Fine Arts!
We meandered through Heroes Square…
Before we came across Vajdahunyad Castle, which looked so eerie in the distance!
Finally, we headed back in another direction searching for food, this time with no distractions as the hunger in our bellies had turned quite fierce! On the walk over, we passed the House of Terror (which is actually a museum).
And headed towards a main square of sorts! We were quite hungry at this point to try to figure out where we were! We just needed food!
Finally, we found ourselves some food!
With our hunger monster finally sated, we headed back to the hotel for a much-needed (and indeed much-deserved) good night’s sleep!
