To begin with, archaeological digs have uncovered traces of settlements as far back as the old stone age. The city of Budapest was further inhabited in the 6th century B.C. by Scythians from the Black Sea region. The area that is now Budapest became even more populated with the arrival of the Romans in the 2nd century B.C. They established a Roman fort in the region of Budapest that is now called Obuda. In the year 1000 A.D. Stephen was the King of Hungary and he introduced a feudal state and also introduced Christianity to the region. The region was invaded by the Mongols in the 1200’s and by the Turks in the 16th century. The humongous amount of churches located in the region were converted into mosques. The city was taken back by the Christians under the house of Habsburg in 1686. Now, one important thing to remember is that up to this time Budapest was actually two separate cities, and it would remain that way for nearly another two hundred years. In 1872, a milestone occurred with the cities of Obuda, Buda and Pest were merged into what is now known as the city of Budapest. You can read more about the history of Budapest

The Fisherman’s Bastion is one of our most popular destinations for a walking tour. The reason is because it is simply a beautiful location that offers a remarkable view of the city. This amazing location is open all-year round day and night and only has a minimal entrance fee. The balconies are free but the visitor will have to pay if they desire to visit the highest turrets in the landmark. There is also a great deal of symbolism with the landmark. There are seven notable turrets and they represent the seven tribes that founded the country of Hungary in 895. The locals in the area are also very aware of the fact that visitors enjoy eating out as well, so there is a cafe that is located immediately on the terrace of the Fisherman’s Bastion as well. There is also even a chapel that is now located there that has been open since March of 2013. The area was protected by a group called the Guild of Fisherman during the middle ages, hence the name of the landmark.

If you are interested in the views of the river Danube, the city or other areas then our walking tours should be high on your list of considerations. We provide only the most scenic destinations for you to consider throughout the country of Budapest and the remainder of Europe as well.
