*****
Since its quite safe to walk at night in Budapest, we decided to walk home and meanwhile enjoy the view at night. (to digest the food also actually) ...

Parliament at night

watching Royal Palace at the Buda from the Pest
Buda ~ The hilly West side of the Danube
Pest ~ The flat East side of the Danube, covering the commercial core of the city

Charming castle district at night
The Castle District is the oldest part of the city containing many of Budapest's best-known attractions. 

Chain Bridge
The first permanent bridge that link Buda with Pest at 1849. 
Still now it makes the best and most scenic way of traversing the Danube river. 

While crossing the river and enjoying the breeze to my face
it reminds me a few songs composed that inspired by this river..* The Blue Danube, 爱情多瑙河

The very grand and glorious Chain Bridge

After all these beautiful night scene...Yes! Our mission accomplished for today!

*****

Peoples might have heard of Hungary.....Hungry?? Hungary?? Hungry??
Ya...its Hungary...not Hungry! but not really a lot of them know about Hungary's capital ~ Budapest

During our research for places to visit ....we had chosen Budapest as one of our destination
its was all because the fine introduction of the city attracted us~!

"Little Paris of Central Europe"
"Pearl of Danube"

After check-in the hotel.....maps ready, currency ready...let's start the action-packed tour at Budapest!!


First Stop: St. Stephens' Basilica 

 "hey baby...i found it~!"

 St. Stephen's Basilica is the main church of Budapest. It is an important example of neoclassical architecture, recently renovated. The 96 meter high dome can be seen from anywhere in the city and inside is decorated with mosaics.
