![]() ![]() I can’t mention Fisherman’s Bastion without telling you about a few spots close by. The architecture of this whole place is stunning and the shapes frame the views across to Pest perfectly. It’s made up of two levels at the main point and the bottom one looks like a tunnel made from detailed arches. We’d expected to pay for a ticket but the turnstiles had been turned off while we were there. ![]() The Fisherman’s Bastion itself was located a short walk from the railway and it looked stunning from afar. It was certainly a great start to the New Year and as expected the views were incredible. However, during the time we were hanging out at the Fisherman’s Bastion the sun did try and shine which enhanced the views across the city. There were few places open the morning we went so we didn’t spend too long there and unfortunately the weather wasn’t the best while we were in Budapest. It felt totally different to much of Budapest. The houses are all neatly lined, the ground is mostly cobble stones and cars are sectioned off from some of the areas. On top of Castle Hill feels like a model village. Admittedly there were still more people out for a morning stroll than I anticipated. It was New Year’s Day when we headed up so were lucky to not encounter a huge queue for the railway nor vast queues at the top. We headed to Buda via the Chain Bridge and then up the funicular railway to save my very sore feet. We decided to visit both day and night to make the most of this spot. Monica from The Travel Hack mentioned this place on her blog and the images she snapped here were beautiful. I’d heard so much about the Fisherman’s Bastion that I knew we had to visit during our short break here. One of the best places we went in Budapest was actually the last thing we did.
