Budapest is the largest city in Hungary and one of the best cities to photograph. It is bisected by the Danube River, connected by the 19th century Chain bridge that connects the hilly Buda district to the flat Pest side. It is noted for its architecture, including numerous art nouveau buildings lining the Danube and boulevards, old fashioned cafes and elegant bath houses. Here we will tour the city and cover the top places to photograph. 1. Keleti Rail Way 0:35 A vintage and eclectic railway. 2. Heroe's Square 0:58 The largest square in Budapest. 3.

Castle Hill - 1:45 The funicular runs up to Buda's Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from the Roman times onward. Buda Castle was first completed in 1265 and was the palace complex of the Hungarian kings.

St Matthias Cathedral - 2:25 Trinity Square is home to the 13th Century St. Matthias Cathedral and Fishermen's Bastion, which offer panoramic views of the city. The Matthias Church and the Fishermen's bastion are the most beloved sights in Budapest. 7. Fishermen's Bastion 2:44 On the top of the old fortress walls, the Fishermen’s bastion was constructed between 1895-1902. It is named after the fishermen’s guild because according to customs in the middle ages this guild was in charge of defending this part of the castle wall. As a matter of fact it has never had a defending function. Done in neo-gothic style, the seven towers symbolize the seven chieftains, who conquered the land for the Hungarians. The Fishermen’s bastion greatly contributes to the cityscape and offers a breathtaking panorama on the Pest side. 8. Chain Bridge 3:30 The iconic bridge spanning the Danube. 9.
