Many of the “biggest” tourist attractions in Budapest are focused on the Danube River, on both the Buda and Pest sides. The photos above and directly below show the Chain Bridge spanning the river, with the dome of Buda Castle in the distance,

Further upstream we spotted the tower of the Matthias church and nearby Fisherman’s Bastion.

Lights on these structures are turned off at 10 p.m. each night (energy conservation) so plan your photos accordingly.
