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.
Ferris Wheel of Budapest
This huge Ferris Wheel is in a public park about 5 city blocks from the Danube River (Pest side of the river). We didn’t ride it during our visit, we had another destination we had to get to that day. But I enjoyed snapping a few photos of it.
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.

Hungarian Parliament
Our trip in 2019 to Hungary was wonderful and we got a chance to experience this building inside and out. The Hungarian Parliament Building is a landmark gothic revival style and is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary. It sits on the Pest side of the city on the Danube River. This is one of hundreds of reasons to like Budapest along with the food, skyline, history, etc…. I could go on forever. Great stuff!!!

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.

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.
