1. Fisherman’s Bastion (Halaszbastya) is a landmark castle in Budapest, Hungary, located on the Buda side of the Danube River. The name Fisherman’s Bastion comes from the fact that in the Middle Ages, this area was defended by the guild of fishermen. The castle was built at the end of the 19th century in a neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style, as part of the reconstruction of Buda after the Turkish occupation. It consists of a series of towers and turrets, terraces and staircases, and is surrounded by a decorative fence. From the top of the bastion, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Budapest, including the Danube River, Parliament, and the Pest side of the city. 2. The Fisherman’s Bastion is open every day from 9:00am to 8:00pm in the summer (April to October) and from 9:00am to 7:00pm in the winter (November to March). The phone number for the castle is +36 1 458 3030. 3. Admission to the Fisherman’s Bastion is free for visitors who want to explore the lower terraces and towers, but there is a fee for entry to the upper towers and terraces. Ticket prices vary depending on the season, but generally range from 1,000 to 2,500 Hungarian forints (approximately $3.50 to $9.00 USD). The castle can be reached by taking the number 16 bus or the Buda Castle Funicular, which departs from Clark Adam Square.
