Info: Fisherman’s Bastion, located in the Buda Castle District of Budapest, is a fairy tale-like terrace offering some of the city’s most stunning panoramic views. Built between 1895 and 1902 in Neo-Romanesque style, it features seven ornate towers representing the seven Magyar tribes that founded Hungary. Despite its medieval appearance, it was constructed as a decorative lookout rather than a fortress. Overlooking the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament Building, Fisherman’s Bastion is a favorite spot for photos, sightseeing, and enjoying Budapest’s historic charm. It’s especially magical at sunrise or when beautifully illuminated at night.
