FISHERMAN S BASTION

About Fisherman's Bastion, Budapest

The bastion’s seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that founded Hungary, and its intricate design features sweeping staircases, turrets, and panoramic terraces. Visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the Danube River, the Hungarian Parliament Building, and the sprawling Pest side of the city.

Despite its medieval appearance, the structure was never intended for defense, but rather as a decorative lookout point. Named after the fishermen who once defended this part of the city walls in the Middle Ages, Fisherman's Bastion is a must-see attraction that captures the historical and architectural essence of Budapest.
