The Danube River flows through the middle of Budapest. Budapest was originally two cities that grew together. The hilly west bank (seen here) was Buda, and the flat east bank was Pest. High in the background one can see such tourist attractions as the Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church.
I took these five years ago… how time flies. But, tis the season.

The Neo-Gothic Parliament building as seen from Normafa.
