We went to the Buda side where there is the odd medieval town built on Castle Hill, with its charming squares, narrow twisting streets and fantastic views over the Danube River, the Pest and Buda sides. There is a beautiful gothic church called Church of Our Lady. The Fisherman's bastion with white towers and a lookout terrace where you can see the Pest side and the Royal Palace that was converted into a centre of culture and becoming the home to the medieval, renaissance, baroque and later Hungarian masterpieces of the Hungarian national Gallery. The palace can be reached from the Danube river embankment by the Castle district's own special
funicular railway line the "Siklo".After we crossed the Chain Bridge, the symbol of Budapest. The bridge was the first permanent crossing over the Danube. On the weekend the bridge closes to traffic
and it has a flea market, foods, music and souvenirs.photos - left - old streets in Buda
