Fisherman's Bastion
Szentháromság tér, 1014 Budapest
Here is a fortress that was never meant to defend anything.
Gellért Hill & Citadella
1 Citadella sétány, District XI, Budapest, 1118, Hungary
The hill is named after a man who was murdered on it.
Hungarian Parliament Building
1-3 Kossuth Lajos tér, District V, Budapest, 1055, Hungary
This building took seventeen years to construct, used forty million bricks, half a million precious stones, and forty kilograms of gold — and the architect who designed it never saw it finished.
Liberty Bridge
Szabadság híd, District XI, Budapest, 1114, Hungary
The shortest bridge in central Budapest is also arguably the most beautiful.
Rudas Baths
Döbrentei tér 9, 1013 Budapest
The main Turkish bath at Rudas has been in continuous operation for over 450 years, making it one of the oldest functioning bathhouses in Europe.
St. Stephen's Basilica
Szent István tér 1, 1051 Budapest
This basilica took fifty-four years to build, collapsed once during construction, and houses the mummified right hand of a thousand-year-old king.
Széchenyi Chain Bridge
Széchenyi Lánchíd, 1051 Budapest
Before this bridge existed, getting from Buda to Pest in winter meant waiting for the Danube to freeze solid and walking across the ice — or not crossing at all.
