Except for the Capitol, the rest of the trip felt a bit ordinary. The waiting room was a bit stuffy. The champagne provided on the boat was usually for taking photos. Overall, the boat was quite clean and the price/performance ratio was OK. I'll give it a good review as usual~
Departure at 7pm, but actually it’s about half delayed, and finished at 8:45pm, not as mentioned from 7pm to 9:30pm.

Stunning views and not too crowded. Paid 3000HUK for 2 adult tickets and 1500 for 2 kids' tickets. You can also use the viewing telescopes for free. Next door are two other beautiful churches, including the Mattias Church. The underground labyrinth of Buda Castle is also nearby, where the brave can try to get through the maze and find Dracula's coffin.
A nice little view and a lovely little tourist attraction thats not too crowded and you can take a leisurely stroll around.

The official website reservation was sold out four days in advance, and the ticket I got later through Ctrip could not choose the time period. As an important landmark of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is definitely a must-see landmark. Some of it is still used for official business, and most of it is for tourism. The whole process took one hour. The staff generally had average English. If you are late for more than ten minutes, the ticket will be invalid. It is important to remind you that the electronic ticket cannot be used directly and must be printed on paper. You can ask the hotel front desk for assistance.
The Hungarian Parliament Building is an iconic architectural masterpiece, located on the banks of the Danube River in the heart of Budapest. As one of the largest parliamentary buildings in the world, it features a striking neo-Gothic style, complete with intricate details, spires, and a stunning dome. The building’s grandeur and intricate design make it one of the most recognizable structures in Budapest.

A very beautiful Catholic church, St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary, was built over 50 years from 1851 to 1905. It is the tallest building in Budapest, along with the Parliament Building.
No need to pick up a ticket, enter the church first, there is a tower elevator at the exit, but it does not go directly to the top. After the transfer, you can choose to go up the stairs, or you can choose a small elevator to reach the top. There is a small visiting hall at the end of the ticket package, but I forgot to go there. After I came down, the librarian asked me to climb the stairs again to take a look.

The castle is magnificent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the throat of the Danube. It is said that before the end of World War II, the Soviet Red Army and the German Nazis fought a desperate battle here. The German Nazis once tried to blow up the Budapest Chain Bridge, but were stopped by the Hungarians. This was also where the king once lived, and it is also where Chen Peisi got his name. You can see the Budapest Chain Bridge next to it, and there is a museum exhibition hall.
Castle District is the historical center of Budapest and a World Heritage Site. There are many ancient buildings in the Castle District, including Buda Castle, Matthias Church, and Fisherman's Bastion.

It is worth visiting, and taking pictures is also very special. It is also good to have a coffee at Starbucks next to it. The scenery of the Danube River, the ancient buildings of Fisherman's Castle, and the environment in the church, a good experience. Sometimes there are roadside performers playing. There are a lot of tourists there, is the main attraction of Budapest. If you have time, spend your time slowly!
Located on the castle district, can buy tickets to get inside. Design is quite good, worth for visit.

I have to say that the Chain Bridge looks good from any angle. If you want to take pictures from the angles of Figures 1-3, stand on the platform on the way to Buda Castle. Figures 4-5 are at the bridge head, which is right next to the No. 105 bus stop. The Leo restaurant and bar on the top floor of the Clark Hotel has an excellent viewing position. You can see the Parliament Building from the left side, and the Chain Bridge and Buda Castle from the right side. Figure 6 is on the protruding platform on the left side facing the Buda Castle.
The most famous bridge in Budapest, spanning the Danube, with Pest on the east side and Buda on the west side, the Chain Bridge, also known as the Szecheri Bridge, was reopened to the public this year after more than two years of renovation, but only pedestrians and public transportation can use it.

Castle Hill is a very famous attraction in Budapest and is the most worthwhile place to visit. The scenery on both sides of the river is very beautiful. As for the architecture, there are various castles, churches, and local ancient buildings. It is worth visiting. There is an art gallery on Castle Hill. You can pay attention to the opening hours of the art gallery. It is worth visiting. There is also a good restaurant on Castle Hill that is worth visiting.

Apart from anything else, the color of this bridge alone is the winner!
The night view is just so-so. It is more beautiful during the day. Even with the light, the color is not very beautiful.
It is enough to look at the Capitol at night.
The Liberty Bridge is also very photogenic, but you have to walk to the middle of the red light to take better photos.
Hungary🇭🇺One of the three bridges in Budapest, the Liberty Bridge. It was dark at the time. I couldn’t take a clear picture because my eyes were fixed on the Central Market next to it. It attracted me to go shopping. The sunset over the bridge is beautiful. You can have a picnic here. .Drinking a glass of beer. Like👍🏻Life is the most beautiful
