Budapest is a wonderful city. It is at the top of my list of places I’d like to revisit. Here is a series of drone photos of the Parliament Building and the Buda Castle that sit along the Danube River.
Budapest Glory
I’m sure I said this in the past, but I’ll say it again. I loved our time in Budapest. The history, architecture, food and people are amazing. I had a great time wandering around taking photos. I got a chance on two nights to just explore along the Danube River by myself and captured this photo on one of those nights. This is the Szechenyi Chain Bride with the Buda Castle in the background. The castle is now used for the Hungarian National Gallery. By the way, I captured this photo with my drone. Our visit to Budapest was part of our Danube River cruise on one of Gate 1 Travel’s boats.

Liberty Bridge
This is the Szabadsag Hid bridge in Budapest Hungary. Translated that means Liberty or Freedom Bridge. It took 2 years to completed with the opening in 1896 with Emperor Franz Joseph putting the last silver rivet in the iron structure on the Pest abutment. The bridge connects Buda and Pest across the Danube River. It features art nouveau design, mythological sculptures and the country’s coat of arms on the sides. Interestingly, this was the first bridge in Budapest to be rebuilt after being badly damaged in World War II.

Szechenyi Chain Bridge
We had a great river cruise down the Danube River to Budapest. There are so many wonderful spots. I captured this photo with my drone of the 19th-century suspension bridge connecting Buda to Pest with the Buda Castle and Palace complex in the background. The castle housed the Hungarian Kings of Budapest. It was completed in 1265 and was expanded/renovated in 1749 and 1769. In the past it was referred to by Royal Palace or Royal Castle. Today Hungary uses it for their National Gallery and History Museum.
