From the Fisherman's Bastion we went to Sandor palace. There is a cog-wheel railway which connects the palace to the chain bridge below. At the palace gate we met the Turul bird statue which represents the Hapsburgs and overlooks the palace courtyard and the city. The Castle courtyard also has great views of the city along with fantastic bronze statues around the palace. We wandered around the castle courtyard at the edge of the courtyard stalls are set up selling souvenirs. At one stall we bought a cinnamon flavoured panne dolce. This Hungarian treat is a bread baked into a hollow cylinder shape which pulls apart in a spiral. It was warm and wonderful. From the palace we walked along some of the interesting side streets making our way to the Vienna arch and the district walls. We walked down to the river and up to Magrit Island.
