Later a royal palace was added, now housing the Hungarian National Gallery and Budapest History Museum, but there's just as much to see around the castle grounds, for free.

Taking the lift or the 364 steps staircase, visitors can easily reach the Basilica's dome offering a spectacular, 360° view over the city and over the river Danube to the Buda hills.

The present day lovely lookout towers / decorative fortification of Fisherman's Bastion were built in the 19th century to serve as a lookout tower for the best panoramic views in Budapest, Hungary.

Start this iconic Budapest walk at the Hungarian Parliament Building, and wander along the river towards Széchenyi Chain Bridge.
