Today I walk to the Buda castle from the Pest side of the Danube river, over to the Buda side. We see the famous Chain Bridge along the way, as well as some famous landmarks on the Buda side. I decided to take the Funicular (hill side elevator) which was built in 1870. It offers great views of the river and they are very historical. Soon I arrived at the Buda castle which is a World heritage site. Buda Castle is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian Kings in Budapest. It was first completed in 1265, although the massive Baroque palace today occupying most of the site was built between 1749 and 1769. The castle is actually a complex of different buildings including the Hungarian National Gallery, History Museum and National Library. There is also the Sandor Palace and other historical buildings. Come and exploring the Buda Castle in today's video.

Interesting Kerry to show Budapest, such an interesting place. Reminds me of Prague a little. So much to see. These historic cities have so much historical value. Well done as always

It does have similarities to Prague. With such a vast and rich history Budapest is a great city in Eastern Europe. Thanks David. 🦅🇭🇺🙏😎

There are so many buildings to explore and they are constantly rebuilding the ones that were destroyed. Too bad everything was closed, but all the more reason to return. 🏰🦅🇭🇺👍😎

What an amazing tour in the Buda Castle. I enjoyed the walking tour over the bridge with the Danube River below. So much beauty around this area of Budapest. The buildings and fountains are architectural gems. Smart idea taking the elevator up to the castle. You did lots of walking today my friend. Take care.

Walking is great for tour health. The castle was absolutely incredible. I really enjoyed the old elevator ride up the side of the hill too. A great day of exploration in Budapest.🏰🦅🇭🇺

The whole things was really cool, especially taking the 150 year old elevator up the hill.

The bridge you crossed is the Elizabeth Bridge. If you're interested in the story, here's how to find it: Sissi! :) The statue on the side of the hill is named after the bishop of St. Gellert. The statue of Sissi is down by the bridge.

This Eagle is called Turul. It is a national symbol of Hungary. You can see the Turul also on the towers of the green Liberty Bridge. The bird has similarities with an eagle and with a falcon. It is said to have led the Hungarians to Pannonia. Pannonia is the territory of today's Hungary.

@TravelAddictGuy Жыл бұрын

The statues depict the Turul so beautifully. I'm excited to learn more about Hungary. 🇭🇺🦅

@eckert7875 Жыл бұрын

@@TravelAddictGuy Glad to hear :). There is so many things to learn about this ancient country. By the way one of the oldest countries in europe. Its foundation was in 896.

Hi! The Roman province of Pannonia extended only as far as the Danube. The Hungarians are considered (old legend) to be related to the Huns, which is why they came to the Carpathian Basin. The name Attila is one of the most common names in Hungary. The Huns drove back the Roman armies further west. The Hungary country name is mean also the land of the Huns (area).

Very informative on Budapest. I like the restaurant videos showing the hungarian cuisine. Any good cafes with pasteries etc there? Any chance you will bump in to Cat Man?

@TravelAddictGuy Жыл бұрын

Catman has been in Spain for years now. I don't think so. We might say a video about Hungarian pastries. Thanks for the idea.

Hi! Just a little information! Come back in three or four years! You won't recognize the Buda Castle district! Many new palaces are being built that were destroyed in World War II. Everything will be rebuilt as it was at the beginning of the 20th century! Already, three buildings are almost finished.

@TravelAddictGuy 11 ай бұрын

I saw a lot of construction going on here. can't wait to come back and see the how they look when finished. 👍🏻
