#118 Castle Hill

Castle Hill - Budapest

Buda Castle is, I think, the iconic image of Budapest.

There was a wine festival going on the day I went to Castle Hill.  I  didn't want to buy a ticket (I had already debated about if I would go at all...sore tailbone and everything) so I didn't get to walk clear down to the castle.

There was a changing of the guard ceremony, though.

After they changed guards at this location they marched around the corner and changed the next set.
