We awoke the next morning pulling into Budapest, Hungary. This was my second visit to Budapest and the country of Hungary. Budapest is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe,ranked as "the world's second best city" by Condé Nast Traveler and "Europe's 7th most idyllic place to live" by Forbes.

Heroes Square is the most visited tourist location in the city. Double decker tour buses stop many times during the day.

The winding cobblestone streets and leafy promenades of Castle Hill lead past baroque houses, Habsburg monuments and cafes including early 19th-century Ruszwurm.

Key attractions include Buda Castle, a palace razed and rebuilt over centuries, now home to the Hungarian National Gallery and Budapest History Museum. The turrets and terraces of Fisherman’s Bastion offer views over the Danube and nearby Matthias Church.

Roof of Matthias Church is very unusual tiles. Matthias Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Budapest, Hungary, in front of the Fisherman's Bastion at the heart of Buda's Castle

View of the Parliament house. It is almost impossible to take a photo of the entire structure.

Following sequence of photos is the changing of the guard at the top of Buda Mountain.
