Visegrád Castle - Citadel
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Visegrad

Visegrád Castle - Citadel

4.3
4.6/5
31 reviews

Visegrád Castle - Citadel was among the first structures of the hilltop palace on the banks of the Danube River, built by the rulers of the Angevin dynasty after they won the struggle for the throne. In other words, most of this Gothic complex was built by Louis the Great in 1370. The castle was destroyed during the rule of Türkiye, used as a stone quarry in the 18th century, and later buried by soil and debris from landslides on the mountain, so for a long time, it was known only from historical records. Excavations began in 1934, and the first thing unearthed was the royal palace courtyard. In the center of the courtyard are the remains of the Renaissance-style Hercules Fountain, commissioned by King Matthias in the Italian style, with the coats of arms of the patrons carved on the side walls of the red marble fountain. Interestingly, the architectural style of the royal palace has a duality: the palace is primarily Gothic, but the various decorations related to King Matthias reflect the Renaissance style of Italian court artists. The Upper Castle was built in the mid-13th century to defend against the Tatar invasion, and the Lower Castle, known as the Solomon Tower, was built around the same time. A bird's-eye view of the Danube Bend from the ruins of the royal palace on Castle Hill is picturesque. From here, you can also see the peaks of the Börzsöny mountains on the other side of the Danube River and the medieval-style houses in the town of Nagymaros.

Liberty Bridge (Budapest)
No. 7 of Night Attractions in Hungary

Liberty Bridge (Budapest)

5.4
4.5/5
114 reviews

Liberty Bridge (Budapest)is a well-known bridge in downtown Budapest spanning the Danube River, connecting the Buda bank on the west and the Pest bank on the east. Although the bridge uses a steel truss structure, its design avoids the heavy feel typical of industrial architecture, instead cleverly incorporating the elegant styling of traditional bridges. The overall outline of the bridge draws on the design features of chain bridges, with clean and smooth steel frame lines, while incorporating Art Nouveau decorative elements, giving the sturdy steel structure a delicate and elegant visual effect. The eye-catching decoration on top of the bridge towers is a bronze statue of the Turul, poised for flight. After nightfall, the bridge becomes even more charming under the lights, with the silhouette of the bridge echoing its reflection in the Danube River, creating a romantic and tranquil atmosphere.

Apart from anything else, the color of this bridge alone is the winner! The night view is just so-so. It is more beautiful during the day. Even with the light, the color is not very beautiful. It is enough to look at the Capitol at night. The Liberty Bridge is also very photogenic, but you have to walk to the middle of the red light to take better photos.

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial erected to honour the Jews who were massacred by Fascist Hungarian militia belonging to the Arrow Cross Party in Budapest during the Second World War.The Jews were ordered to take off their shoes and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. The shoes which were valuable during that time were resold by the militia after the massacre.The memorial represents their shoes left behind on the bank. 👞
