Ride in Buda Castle

For the first several days I’ve been to visit the Buda’s hill. The first time I’ve been there it was a sunny day and I was with Mario, one of my Brazilian classmates.
First to go there, we had to cross the chain suspension bridge where we had a wonderful view of the Danube and the parliament on the background.

After we’ve climbed this very sloping hill by walking one kilometer. The more we climbed over, the more the landscape was amazing. After this hard ascension, we had a wonderful view of all the Pest side of the city (the west side of the Danube).

When we arrived on the top, we have seen the big library of Budapest. It’s an awesome building that was founded in 1802, it contains 3 millions of books and 1 million of manuscripts.

After viewing this building, we’ve seen the Matthias church set on the heart of the Buda’s castle.

In Hungary the night is coming sooner than in France (at 5pm at this time of the year), so we decided to have a drink and to rest up after our long walking in a nice place across the church.
