Buda Castle is the historical royal palace of the Hungarian kings, perched on Castle Hill in the Hungary capital, Budapest. First built in the 13th century and rebuilt repeatedly after sieges, it now houses the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. Adjacent is the Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya), a Neo-Romanesque terrace built in 1902 with seven turrets representing the seven Magyar tribes of the Hungary country. Its panoramic terraces over the Danube and Parliament are the most photographed view in Hungary Budapest. The hilltop is a UNESCO site and is reached by funicular, walking, or bus 16.
What makes this place special
The seven white turrets and connecting walkway are best photographed at sunrise (free) before the 9 AM ticket window opens. The exact sunrise schedule varies, so check the time in Hungary for your visit.
