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.
UFO Tower
Below is a photo series of the UFO Tower on top of the SNP Bridge in Bratislava Slovakia. This unique UFO structure is an elevated restaurant and observation tower on the south side of the Danube River. I loved this spot and this city…thus I took a ton of drone photos.
Regensburg and Danube River
Here is a throwback to our 2019 Europe river cruise. We started in this beautiful town in Germany. I loved the medieval architecture, cathedrals and bridges. It just made for a very photographic spot.
Crossing The Danube
I loved Budapest and really want to go back. But as we all know, that’s not likely to happen in today’s COVID world. I captured this photo during our European river cruise using my drone.
Danube River Cruising
Here is the Gate 1 Travel river cruise boat called Monarch Princess sitting in the Danube River at Regensburg Germany.
Parliament
The Hungarian Parliament building on the Danube River is just wonderful during the day and at night. I could take pictures of it nonstop….
UFO Observation Deck
This space craft shaped observation deck and restaurant sit high above the bridge over the Danube River in Bratislava Slovakia.
Regensburg - Danube
I took this drone photo looking down on the city of Regensburg, Germany and the Danube River back in 2019. This was right before we got on a river boat and cruised down the Danube all the way to Budapest. Great, great, great trip.
Danube and Parliament
I missed traveling to Europe in 2020. We actually had a couple of trips there that got canceled with everything else. Right now, those are rescheduled for 2021…we’ll see if they really happens.
This photo of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament building is from early 2019.
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.
Hungarian Parliament Building
Here is a short video I took with my drone above the Danube River near the Hungarian Parliament building last year.
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.

Regensburg Blue Hour
I loved my time in Regensburg Germany. This small college city was great with some wonderful historic sites including the bridge, clock tower and cathedral in this photo. I captured this at dusk with my drone.

UFO Observation Deck
This cool looking restaurant and observation deck was on the south side of the Danube River above the bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia. We didn’t go up there, but we should have…. Oh well, next trip.

Monarch Princess
Here is a photo from our Europe River Cruise last summer. We traveled on the Monarch Princess down the Danbue River. As part of the trip, we stopped in this little Austria village for a visit. Great trip.

Liberty Bridge
The Liberty Bridge’s name in Hungarian is called (Szabadság hid). They call it Liberty Bridge or Freedom Bridge in English. This bridge spans the Danube River connecting Buda and Pest. It was the first bridge rebuilt after World War II in 1945. The original construction started in 1894 and ended in 1896. It is a beautiful truss bridge in a beautiful city.

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.
