One of the most important tourist attractions in Budapest with an iconic overlook of Pest

Offering splendid panoramic views, Fisherman’s Bastion is without a doubt one of the best-known monuments in Budapest and a perfect spot for both instagrammable selfies and photos of other key touristic attractions, such as the Hungarian Parliament building positioned just across the Danube River bank, Margaret Island, and more.

Fisherman’s Bastion is a striking neo-Romanesque structure that boasts seven fairytale-like towers and which is believed to be the inspiration behind the Walt Disney logo as we know it today.

Fisherman’s Bastion – a breathtaking location for small groups and couples

Despite its antique look, the construction of Fisherman’s Bastion was completed only in 1902. It got its name after the fishermen that were living at the time in the town beneath it, who defended the area from invaders. Today, the backdrop of the Fisherman’s Bastion is renowned as a perfect set for amazing photos by couples and tourist groups in Budapest.,
