I visited St. Stephen's Basilica, which was close to the metro station Deak Ferenc ter. Walked around it a bit and took a couple photos and didn't do anything else since it was just too effing hot.
Went around some more and saw this rather nice church. I have no idea what it's called. The colourful tiled roof reminded me of the cathedrals I saw in Sibiu, which makes sense since Transylvanians are mainly ethnic Magyars, after all.
Then I went and took a bus uphill to the famous Fisherman's Bastion. I got off at the wrong stop and found myself in the ruins of what must have been a rather beautiful church. I took a few photos and hopped onto the bus again.
This time, I did get off at the correct stop, and the first thing I said was "Wow." I believe this is the Matyas Templom. It was simply teeming with tourists, mostly Asian.
And behind it, the spectacular Fisherman's Bastion.
A close up of the statue.
And prepare to be bombarded by pictures.
A simply breathtaking view of the Parliament building from the Bastion. A pity that the air that day was pretty bad, hence the dirty-blue skies.
Going off to my next destination, but one last view of the lovely square.
