Budapest Architecture

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been is Budapest. It’s a city with many mysteries and unknown spots. There are so many nice building which you can visit as a tourist, you don’t have enough time for it in one weekend. I went with one of my best friends for four days and I think I’ve never planned my trip that well. Let me give you a little tour through Budapest with his beautiful architecture!

One thing you have to do if you want to see a beautiful building and have a relaxing day is going to the Szechenyi Baths, this is part of a tradition of baths that started during Turkish occupation of the area 600 years ago. As you can see at the picture, the building is really big and beautiful. The building was a place before and now the four wall hide a beautiful warm pool. If you lie in the pool, you should watch how every little detail is having a meaning. The renovation and reconstruction work continues, partially closing down different sections each year.

Another architectural highlight is the parliament. The domed neo-Gothic structure was inspired by the British House of Parliament and serves as both a vibrant government center and a proud city landmark on the banks of the Danube. If you reserve early, you can also see it from inside. Unfortunately, we didn't know that so we only could see it from the outside.

After a long walk up to the castle hill, because we didn’t want to take the warm coach, you have the most beautiful panoramic view over Budapest next to an amazing castle. Lovingly restored after being reduced to rubble during World War II, this picturesque area is located in the heart of medieval Budapest, which is characterized by cobblestone streets, narrow alleys and lovely squares surrounded by baroque and classical buildings.

 In the category churches is enough to find in Budapest. I loved the Matthias Church, amazing at day and night as you can see at the pictures. The Matthias Church is used over the centuries as a coronation church for the Hungarian kings, the slender and graceful architecture of this beautiful church dominates the main square of the Castle area.

 All those beautiful building are just a tip of the iceberg! Also the normal building in Budapest are amazing, food is really good and the people are really friendly. If someone ask me to propose a city trip, I immediately would say Budapest. Leave a comment if you agree or when you have some nice other tips for beautiful buildings in this city!
