Best Fisherman S Bastion Day Trips & Things to Do

This castle-like structure behind Matthias Church is one of the best places to get panoramic views of Budapest. Built in 1905 on the site of a medieval fish market, the bastion has seven towers that symbolize the tribes that settled in Hungary during the 9th century. The white stone building combines Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque architecture, and rivals the views from Gellert Hill and Buda Castle.
