Hermosa iglesia
An absolute must see. Incredibly beautiful. We started at Gellert Hill and walked to the castle complex. The cathedral is the most beautiful church and surrounding museums, restaurants and shops are lovely.

Lovely building to visit with a real sense of history. Fine views over the Danube from just outside. Really good spot altogether with restaurants close by.
Psychedelic-looking church, very special!
