Buda

Buda is the fairyland part of the city.

We only saw clean, spotless streets and lanes, castles, towers, tourists, pretty souvenirs and gardens.

As mentioned, the richer section of her people reside here and it is known for its expensive tastes and residential places.

So, tourists from all over the world come here to experience good feelings and the place truly connotes "holiday".

This is the summarized land area of Budapest.

 The breathtaking Matthias Church with its colored majolica tiles was the venue for the coronation of many Hungarian monarchs. Needless to say, the inside must be richly decorated with works of best art. We were however not given a chance to go in. Come to think of it, I wonder why?

Anyway, by this time we have seen enough of churches and castles and how different can they be? Similar architecture from similar periods of history?

Several angles of the church taken to be kept for memory.

The lanes are charming and neat.

It's a fairy land.

Local handmade clothes and souvenirs are very expensive; tourists' price.

I would rather go to a local market place for this purpose.

Dressed in Hungarian style, these ladies added charisma to the place.

They are so pretty.

This another square I guess. Tourists are everywhere and every place looked popular so much so one can hardly recognise where one is.

I have forgotten its name.

 Needless to say again; this must be some form of wish tree for love birds.

It must be. Only those in love would bother about such expressions of love.

They would go to great lengths to attract their lover's attention; little knowing that it is only a fairy tale.

These are some other shots along the side lanes; so quaint and enchanting.

A square again showing monuments of heroes.

This is a view from Fishermen's Bastion. You can see Pest from here too.

Panoramic. 

Later, we will see some of Pest.
