1. Fishermen's Bastion.
The Fisherman's Bastion, with its intricately detailed arches and seven fairytale-like white towers, is a castle that overlooks the entire city. It is extremely beautiful and one of the best things to do in Budapest.
2. Matthias Church
The Matthias Church is located directly behind the Fishermen's Bastion. Its colorful roof tiles, decoration, and architecture distinguish it from other churches in Europe. Both the church and the bastion offer the best views of Budapest.
3. Széchenyi Chain Bridge
Follow the path down the hill to the water and cross the famous Széchenyi Chain Bridge, the first stone bridge that connected Buda and Pest. Once on the other side, follow the river to an impressive piece of history.
The square in front of the basilica is filled with little restaurants to have a morning coffee, but we can highly recommend the Espresso Embassy, which is one street away from the square.
