Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, is a stunning destination that offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and architecture. The city is known for its beautiful landmarks, including the Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and the Hungarian Parliament Building. Budapest is also a paradise for photographers, with numerous locations that offer breathtaking views and unique perspectives. From the iconic Chain Bridge to the colorful street art in the Jewish Quarter, there is no shortage of photography opportunities in Budapest.
Blue hour by the famous Chain Bridge over the Danube. There was some haze in the air which actually added to the purplish reflection.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Széchenyi lánchíd) is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Die Kettenbrücke überspannt die Donau und verbindet Buda und Pest, die Ost- und Westseite von Budapest, die Hauptstadt von Ungarn
I have an earlier version of this spot here, in evening darkness. This time I wanted to go for the morning blue hour, but in the early morning there are very few lights on. So I will have to go back for a third attempt at some point and get the evening blue hour.
I am posting from my iPad as I am still traveling in Scandinavia and won't be home for a while yet.

Heroes' Square is one of the major squares in Budapest, noted for its iconic statue complex featuring the seven chieftains of the Magyars and other important Hungarian national leaders, as well as the Memorial Stone of Heroes, often erroneously referred as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. At the front of the monument is a large stone cenotaph surrounded by an ornamental iron chain. The cenotaph is dedicated "To the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of our people and our national independence." Directly behind the cenotaph is a column topped by a statue of the archangel Gabriel. At the base of the column is a group of seven mounted figures representing the Magyar chieftains who led the Hungarian people into the Carpathian basin. In the front is Árpád, considered the founder of the Hungarian nation. Behind him are the chieftains Előd, Ond, Kond, Tas, Huba, and Töhötöm. Little survives in the historical record about these individuals and both their costumes and their horses are considered to be more fanciful than historically accurate. The back of the monument consists of two matched colonnades, each with seven statues representing great figures of Hungarian history. The sculptures were made by sculptor Zala György from Lendava.

Elisabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd) is the third newest bridge of Budapest, connecting Buda and Pest across the River Danube. The bridge is situated at the narrowest part of the Danube in the Budapest area, spanning only 290 m. It is named after Elisabeth of Bavaria, a popular queen and empress of Austria-Hungary, who was assassinated in 1898. Today, her large bronze statue sits by the bridge's Buda side connection in the middle of a small garden.

The Great Market Hall or Central Market Hall is the largest and oldest indoor market in Budapest. The idea of building such a large market hall arose from the first mayor of Budapest, Károly Kamermayer, and it was his largest investment. He retired in 1896 and participated in the opening ceremony on February 15, 1897. It is located at the end of the famous pedestrian shopping street Váci Utca and on the Pest side of the Liberty Bridge at Fővám square. Information taken from wikipedia
