Budapest, Hungary (2018)

Our first full day in the city of Budapest, Hungary and we decided to go for a walk along the Danube river. We loved the colourful Budapest trams.

Looking at Buda castle across the Danube river in the city of Budapest, Hungary. It is the place where the wine festival is held and it is where we will be going as that was the purpose of this trip.

Here we are approaching the Széchenyi Chain Bridge. It's a chain bridge that spans the Danube river between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Without a doubt the most amazing bridge in the city.

Pretty soon after the start of our Danube river cruise we were approaching the Hungarian parliament building. It's a truly the most magnificent building in the city of Budapest, Hungary.

Getting so close to the Hungarian parliament building really brings out the details. Most certainly the most amazing building in the city of Budapest, Hungary.

Some historic houses on the Buda side in the city of Budapest, Hungary as seen from the Danube river. Definitely old but still used as apartments where the people have an amazing view on both the river and the city.

The Danube river splits the city of Budapest, Hungary in two parts, Buda and Pest. Obviously many bridges can be used to cross the river, but the Széchenyi Chain Bridge is certainly the most beautiful one.

It was extremely busy when we were visiting the Frigyes Schulek Fisherman's Bastion in the city of Budapest, Hungary. The view over Budapest was really amazing though.

The Hungarian parliament building on the other side of Buda castle in the city of Budapest, Hungary. The view from the castle grounds is probably even better than from the river. We were lucky that the weather permitted us this clear view.

The views from Buda castle in the city of Budapest, Hungary are truly breathtaking. Here we see the Széchenyi Chain Bridge leading to the other side of the Danube river.

Every major city these days has a ferris wheel. This here is the Budapest Eye in the city centre of Budapest, Hungary. We did go up in it and had some amazing views all over the city and the Danube river. Definitely recommended.

I felt like going on an evening walk by myself and I am so glad I did. I was amazed by numerous buildings lit up in the city of Budapest, Hungary. Here I am admiring the fully lit Hungarian parliament building. It was actually hard to leave this awesome place.

The city of Budapest in Hungary is blessed with so many historic buildings. At night the people of Budapest are equally blessed by the many lights shining upon those buildings.

Continuing my evening walk through the city of Budapest in Hungary in order to find more beautiful lit buildings. I truly admired the well lit Matthias church at night on the other side of the Danube river.
