Exploring Budapest

I love exploring cities on foot and Budapest is no exception. So I
went on a city walking tour and came across these beautiful
buildings and sights.



The St Stephen Basilica on St Istvan Square is the biggest Roman Catholic Church in Budapest. It is named after the first king of Hungary. The free afternoon city walking tour starts here.



The Hungarian parliament next to the Danube river (on the Pest side of the city). These photos were taken from the Szechenyi Chain Bridge.





The city known today as Budapest was originally made up of three cities, Buda, Old Buda and Pest. They were merged in the late 1800s. The Szechenyi Chain Bridge is one of the bridges that connect Buda and Pest.



The impressive Fisherman's Bastion is on the Buda side of the river.
