Chain Bridge

Some day…..some day, we’ll travel again.  Budapest is high on my list to revisit. 

I took this photo in the spring of 2019.  The photo includes the Danube River and Chain Bridge in the foreground.  Way in the back you can see the dome from St. Stephen’s Basilica.  I don’t know the name of the building all lite up at the end of the bridge.

Danube Views

In this post, I have the beautiful Chain Bridge and Hungarian Parliament Building along the Danube River in Budapest Hungary.  I loved this city.  If we can ever get over, around and/or past COVID-19, I hope to go to Budapest again.

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.

Szechenyi Chain Bridge

We had such an amazing time last year on the European river cruise.  Our trip ended in Budapest.  I can’t think of a better city to end the cruise at for a trip like that.  It was so wonderful.

This photo is from that trip.  I took this long exposure photo with my drone looking down at the Szechenyi Chain Bridge with Pest side of the city in the back ground….  You can also see a couple river cruise boats along the river side on each side of the bridge.

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.
