At the opposite end of the natural image of a religious building, the troglodyte church of Notre-Dame-des-Hungarians easily deserves a courtesy visit. Located inside a cave, like the famous sanctuary of Lourdes, this small Catholic place of worship is a truly surprising place.
In the prestigious district of Buda, ancient palaces are kings. There are still several dozen of them, proudly standing, and each of them recalls the memory of the great noble and princely families who once lived on these lands.
With such an opening onto the Danube, it is difficult not to wonder about this monumental silhouette. And as you can see from behind, dominating the city from the heights, the curiosity is even greater.
Welcome to the western bank of the Danube, in Buda! Here you are in the historical soul of Budapest, perched majestically on its green hills. Look around you: these paved streets, these baroque facades, this undulating relief... You are in a real book
Given the look, the name and the geographical position, the doubt is over, we are in the presence of one of the most important monuments in Budapest. Let's dig in together to find out a bit more.
With 800 years of history, the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, more commonly known as the Church of Saint Matthias, has virtually missed no major events that have affected Budapest, near or far.
A true tourist attraction in Budapest, the Fishermen's Bastion fulfils more a decorative function than a historical one. Completed in 1902, after two decades of work, this walk, almost straight out of a fairy tale, is a tribute to the ancestors of the Hungarian people, called the Magyars.
In addition to its obvious tourist attraction, Fishermen's Bastion offers you a royal view of one of the city's most iconic monuments: the Budapest Parliament. There are no two buildings as long, as majestic, placed on the banks of the Danube.
To visit Budapest is to discover a city full of surprises. And to really appreciate it, it's best to keep an inquisitive mind and a keen eye. Exploration, here, makes perfect sense.
Lost between traditions and modernity, between memory and renewal, the Jewish quarter of Budapest oscillates between painful past and abundant contemporary life.

Overlooked by a huge access door, this building, which looks like a railway station, is in fact the city's central halls. In the 19th century, times were tough for Budapest. Food is struggling to be delivered, the condition of food is not great, and infectious diseases are spreading.
Look at this monumental facade that is revealed on your left, with its sculpted entrance, its verdigris domes, and its beautiful balconies... You are in front of one of the jewels of Budapest: the Gellért Baths. It's hard to get more iconic.
