A rainy day in Budapest. We were anchored on the Buda side of the Danube within sight of the famous Chain Bridge.
We had a bus tour of the city visiting Heroes' Square, viewing the beautiful parliament building (the second largest in Europe as it served the Austria/Hungry empire), the Rudas Thermal Baths at the foot of the Elizabeth Bridge and the Buda Castle District. We visited St Matthias Church and the Fishermen's Bastion and enjoyed the beautiful views over the city.
In the afternoon we caught the commuter ferry to the Pest side of the Danube and explored the city centre. We were hoping to visit the central market hall; however, ran out of time as we sailed for Vienna mid afternoon.
