Gabriela MoFebruary 22, 2016One of the most beautiful places in the world! Amazing view. Don't forget to bring your camera. Make a Wikipedia quick research before visiting to make the experience even better. It's unforgettable.
My very special place. Unique architecture and stunning views over the Danube. Come before sunset and watch the city lights come up! No words could describe it... my favorite spot in Budapest. 💛

NikkaJanuary 31, 2015Bastion looks like castle from fairytale&it offers breathtaking view of Budapest.There're playing gypsy musicians over the square,which gives place unique atmosphere.There's church&old houses around.
Upvoted Feb 7- Simple DiscoveriesOctober 18, 2016Beautiful views of the Danube & Parliament here. Come at least 30 minutes before sunset if you want a spot to watch the city lights come up. No need to pay for the view - bottom tier is free & same.
Nantia ModsyMay 8, 2018Beautiful monument, I didn t like the fact that you have to pay for everything. Fisherman’s bastion, the church and the tower have different tickets. Other than this it s beautiful.
JustinSeptember 13, 2017Head to the entrance across from the Hilton. We got upstairs for €1 and it has an amazing panoramic view. I'd still recommend it even if you have also done the citadel.
StephanieNovember 11, 2017If you're looking to take that perfect insta worthy shot, definitely come early before the masses storm this place. Bathroom is €1. You needn't pay extra for the roped off €1 view.
Daniel CarreraDecember 3, 2017Amazing view from this historic view, just look for the free parts, the parts were you need to pay are not worthy. Amazing to watch Pest and the Parlament.
Cenker KöseMarch 26, 2019Try to visit here during sunset time: less crowded, more photogenic, beautiful Budapest view with Chain Bridge + Parliament + Danuba River!
Andre RochaJune 11, 2017Awesome views of the City. No need to pay for the "panoramic view". Walk all the way up to the tower and you find a place to but water, sit on the table and enjoy the view.
Hayo BartJune 6, 2018Quite a busy tourist spot that provides great views of the Danube river as well as Pest. For an unobstructed view of the Parliament, get to the far end of the Bastion, that corners the Hilton Hotel.
Filipe SarmentoDecember 16, 2014One of my favorite places in Budapest! Head over there on the end of the afternoon and take your time (maybe in the restaurant there) until the sunset. The city by night is also stunning.
E Ada OAugust 10, 2016For me, the most amazing place in Budapest. You'll feel yourself in one of middle times castles. Amazing ambiance and sceen! If you wont see, you will lose so many things!
Utku AkdemirOctober 7, 2014In the night the view is amazing, especially from the top (which is free in the night) Budapest looks amazing with night lights. But it's windy, you might get cold.
Matthew CaldecuttDecember 25, 2015You can take your photo with a falconer and see the whole city from this "mountain." Head into the residential area afterwards for lunch.
Amit GaharwarJuly 17, 2018Possibly the first sight that you want to visit in Budapest. Great views and an awesome climb from Clark Adam Tér. You can take bus 16 to reach here. Going on the first level will cost you.- Daniel CarreraDecember 3, 2017Amazing view from this historic view, just look for the free parts, the parts were you need to pay are not worthy. Amazing to watch Pest and the Parlament
Frankie RobertoNovember 29, 2014The admission fee for the top level seemed to have been suspended when I went in November 2014. Even if you have to pay though, it's probably worth it, for the views and the architecture.
Natalya ShantyDecember 21, 2019Beautiful place.Must have to see if you are in Budapest.There are some beautiful locations and which perfect to fit for photoshooting.There are a church, a restaurant and wonderful view on the river
Majed AlashariMarch 3, 2019The most important sightseeing in Budapest. Amazing view over the river & the city. The is a cable car that can take you to the top.
Chris <M>May 8, 2019like being in a fairytale! great anytime of the day! could visit this every single day and night!
Priya TungrusJune 5, 2016Nice views. We visited before 9am and no tickets were needed. Even with tickets only half is open for walking - the other half is comprised of a museum and a cafe.
- Carl GriffinDecember 31, 2015Neo Gothic masterpiece. Awesome views across the Danube to the Pest side of the city.
Tanya VFebruary 17, 2015A must to visit. Such an amazing view of Pest. There are even two cafes to enjoy a drink or a snack. Best photos of the Parliament
Lincy TynckeNovember 29, 2015Ideal pace for a picknick. Best view when it's dark and luckily that's the moment it's free. Second best view of Budapest (after Gellert Hill)
Dimitris KotsiosDecember 27, 2015Best view to all over the city! You can relax by drinking some coffee in very reasonable prices near the Fishermans Bastion!
Druyts ChrisJuly 12, 2017Realy beautifull ancient place. Nice and very clean. Also public toilets are very clean.
Denisa KOctober 4, 2018It is such a beautiful building and the view is unbelievable! It is MUST GO in Budapest!
JenniferSeptember 18, 2010You can pay to go to the top level or stay on the ground level for free! While looking at the cafe go to the left. There is a small opening where you can get to a ledge to overlook the city for free!
RAY AAlAJune 11, 2023The space, the architecture and the weather was all in our favor, fabulous spot
Sophie van GoethemMay 16, 2017One of the best views over Budapest, but try to get a good spot to take pictures, it's soooooo busy here!
Tim HarrisonSeptember 1, 2017Beautiful views of Pest! Also, the view is just as good from the lower level, which is free.
- Benjamin DjidiJuly 25, 2016What a view! Food is great and modern (not for a local experience) and mind the drinks as the check rises pretty fast.
Alex PyatetskyAugust 25, 2015This is cool and a nice view, but I think the existence of Disneyland kind of ruins it for me. It's kind of like real life Disneyland castles.
- MathewMarch 20, 2018It was worth spending a couple hundred forints to get up the section at the side, much quieter making for better photos
MariaAugust 31, 2014One of the best scenic views of the city. It's a must visit if you're in Budapest.
Bart SommenJuly 14, 2014Don't pay for this, just visit it late in the evening. It's very beautifull ... with all the buildings, the lights and the views on the city.
ValentinaJanuary 7, 2015Incredible view on the city. Interesting architecture. Must see in 1st day in Buda!
Emmanuel H LOctober 27, 2014What a wonderful tourist trap! Its so pretty i didnt mind the bus loads of people here and the views are amazing on this side of Budapest!- Marco OrtizApril 10, 2015Great place to visit, you can get amazing snaps of the parliament building from this spot.
