Fisherman’s Bastion

The Fisherman’s Bastion in Budapest is a stunning architectural landmark that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. This fairy-tale-like structure features seven towers, intricate stone carvings, and decorative motifs, creating a romantic and picturesque atmosphere. The decorative fortification of Fisherman’s Bastion was built in the 19th century to serve as a lookout tower for the best panoramic views in Budapest, Hungary. Needless to say, there used to be real castle walls where now you can take fantastic photos from, but the present day structure has never served as an actual fortification in Buda. It now serves as a popular tourist destination, providing visitors with a magnificent backdrop for exploring the historical charm of Budapest. The towers are open all year round, day and night. Entrance fee: free balconies combined with fee paying top turrets, that represent the 7 Hungarian tribes who founded the present day country in 895.
