Fisherman’s Bastion This place up on the Buda hill offers a brilliant view on the right side of the Danube with the parliament and some well restored buildings in first row. This complex was built at the beginning of the 20th century only as a viewpoint. It’s called Fisherman’s bastion because the fish-market was near by in ancient times.

This is the most popular and biggest square in Budapest, the place of heros with the Millenium Statue in the middle. Built in 1896 this is a gigantic monument with a statue of the angel “Gabriel” on top. It obviously is overcrowded in the daytime, whereas staying here at night is awesome - we went here after midnight and nobody else strolled around and only a few cars circled around the gigantic “roundabout”, which was a special atmosphere. Behind the Hero’s square starts the Varosliget, the great central parc.
