ZOLYAN, made this a 6 star review! He navigated us through the mouth watering menu with ease. Finalizing our meal with a bottle of red wine to elevate our experience to a new level. Thank you ZOLYAN for making our first night in Budapest unforgettable.

This is a great location to look across the river to the Pest side and have a fantastic view of the Parliament building. The area includes the Mathias Church, which is a beautiful church inside. There is also a statue of St Stephan in the square.

Thrilling historical site. Great view from the top of the bastion, spreading all throughout Pest, with the magnificent Parliament in its heart. The Bastion, alongisde the rest of the Buda Castle, takes the visitor back to medieval times and help them become part of its story.

Spectacular. The grounds are amazing. Beautiful gardens. The views of Pest are gorgeous. It’s a beautiful historical site with amazing statutory throughout. We were fortunate to catch the changing of the guard as well as guards on hose back.Walking along the upper terrace of the bastion and down the stairs gives you a glorious view of everything It’s a site not to be missed. There were some lovely artisans selling their wares in market on the grounds.

The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is one of the best known monuments in Budapest and certainly has the best views of the Danube and the "Pest" part of the city. Trinity square contains not only the Bastion but also Matthias Church, the statue of St. Stephen and the Holy Trinity Column. The Fishermen's Bastion's main façade, parallel to the Danube, is approximately 140 meters long, of which the southern aisle is about 40 meters long, the north is 65 meters long, and the ornate central parapet is 35 meters long. Its seven high-pitched stone towers symbolize the seven chieftains of the Hungarians who founded Hungary in 895.Since 1987 it has been one of Budapest's World Heritage Sites.

Yes its full of tourist exploring, taking photos, and gawping. I wonder why?? This place must be seen to be believed. It is glorious, majestic, and imperious. Once you ascend the climb this opens up a whole wonderful walk with sweeping views across the city.

We took the metro from Parliament Square (Kossuth Lajos Ter) to Batthyany Ter, 1 stop and 350HUF single ticket and climbed up the steps to the top. It’s steep but if you’re fit it’s not a problem. The views are spectacular especially when sunny. The Fisherman’s Bastion was free to walk along and is so pretty, it’s like a fairytale. Toilets are around but they are 250HUF.

Really enjoyed our visit here. Breathtaking views and ability to access a slightly higher platform for even better views for a small fee. Quite high up, we walked it but there are casts tour buses and also escalators available

Our children loved exploring the castle-like structure and running up and down the stairs. The seven towers and intricate architecture provided plenty of opportunities for them to imagine they were knights and princesses in a fairy tale. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience for our family. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Budapest, especially those with children who love history and exploring unique architecture.

With breathtaking views and a great history, Fisherman's bastion is probably the most iconic landmark in Budapest. It is a stunning Romanesque piece of architecture that has a long terrace with seven towers which overlooks the Danube river and the Pest side. You now have to pay to enter the ramparts to get a view over the city and river which I find is a bit harsh on the tourists. When we went, it was free access so that was good. At the top of the bastion is a café so you cant get in there without having a coffee or drink. This is probably the best viewing area. Go in have a coffee and get the best view. Its also stunning when viewed at night so make sure you go up at night to get a stunning view.
