Great viewpoint to see the Danube and across the river to Pest. Pose for pictures and breathe in the atmosphere of this great city.

The Bastion itself is very picturesque and the views it commands are stunning. The only downside is that it is generally heaving with people - so go early or late if you can.

The towers and walls were really nice to visit, also offering great views of Parliament and the rest of the Pest side. It was nice to take the Siklo up to the area and walk over, and visiting Matthias Church nearby was fun too. Definitely one of the best parts of the trip exploring that area.

The church is still under restoration (mainly in the old Muslim corner of the church) but has otherwise been beautifully restored, including a new roof. Well worth a visit.

It is also located in the most charming historic district of Buda. Wonderful area to walk around. We went there to see St Matthias Church--closed early and couldn't enter, but were delighted to see the neighborhood.

Try and go early in the morning because as soon as everyone is awake..... it's sooooo busy. Beautiful buildings and surroundings, though!

The Fisherman's Bastion right next to the St-Matthias Church is a great place to visit. Nice atmosphere, great architecture.

it is not necessary to pay to go up the stairs, the view is equally great and beautiful downstairs, you can safe 700 HUF

It is worth the effort to get up to the Fishermans Bastion and take in St Matthias Church too. As far as photographs are concerned your own personal ones with a view from the bastion go to the left hand side as you look at it and you will get a great photograph of the river and Parliament Buildings.
