Fisherman's Bastion
Once arriving in Buda we meandered around,appreciating the lovely architecture and quaint streets and steps. Eventually we made our way to the Fisherman's bastion. This is one of the sights that I really wanted to see when planning the trip and it did not disappoint. Built in 1905 this "neo-gothic masquerade" offers amazing views of the city. We were lucky to have warm weather and blue skies so it was comfortable walking around and making the architecture all the more striking. We walked around the Bastion taking in the views as well as the arches, pillars, and statues as well as the musicians playing on the steps. Right next to the bastion is St. Matthias church with its amazingly tiled roof. From there we made our way to the Sandor Palace stopping in some souvenir shops and a small market along the way.
