10 Must Sees in Budapest, Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is a famous destination for a city trip. During my city trip to the city, I discovered many beautiful sights which are definitely worth a visit. It was high season, so the weather was fantastic and that is why most of the sights we explored by foot. In this article I will give you 10 must sees in the capital of Hungary.

Close to the Elisabeth bridge, you can find the market hall of Budapest. From the outside it already is a very old and unique building. On the inside you first have all kinds of food stands. You can buy anything and try a lot of Hungarian sweets and food. On the first floor, you can find a lot of stands for souvenirs and Hungarian clothes. The market hall has a nice atmosphere and it nice to walk around.

On the Danube quay, close to the Chain bridge, you can find a memorial for the Jewish people who died in World War II. They were ordered to take off their shoes and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. The memorial represents their shoes left behind on the bank. It is a very impressive memorial.

On the Boeda side of the city, there is a hill with some huge castles which look very, very pretty from the other side of the Danube. I have heard that the fisher’s bastion is definitely worth a visit, but unfortunately I did not visit this one. On the other hand, I did visit the Buda castle, which is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest. It is a very beautiful castle and on top of it, you can have some beautiful views over the city. Furthermore, the castle features a nice garden. You can walk for free around the castle and through the gardens. I did not go inside of the castle, but I think you had to pay an entrance fee for walking around in the castle. ......
