Budapest

Detail of the Matthias Church The Matthias Church is one of the finest churches in Budapest. Located atop the Buda Castle hill, it has been serving the citizens of the Buda Castle Hill since 1015. The actual church (restored early 19th century) has a breath-taking interior with colours inspired by orientalism and romantic historicism. Its mystically exotic atmosphere paired with its Neo-Gothic features differentiates it from any other church. #Budapest
Fisherman’s Bastion is one of the top Budapest attractions. The present day lovely lookout towers / decorative fortification of Fisherman’s Bastion were built in the 19th century to serve as a lookout tower. #Budapest #Culture #History
Szechenyi lanchid, the most beautiful bridge in Budapest. #stunningstructures
'River: Danube Completed: 1849 Trivia: According to the story, sculptor Marschalko János forgot to carve out the lions' tongues. A boy noticed this during the opening ceremony. The sculptor became so distressed that he jumped off the bridge into the Danube.' #StunningStructures #waterlust P.S. My take on Budapest (part 2)-- https://bit.ly/2WYzqfK
Old Budapest is magical at twilight. This is an image of the Chain Bridge from the east bank (south of the Bridge) with Buda Castle on the hill overlooking the City in the left background. If you go to Budapest, sit on the bank of the River Danube at twilight and enjoy the view. A wonderful place for lovers!
