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 Budavári Palace is one of the main cultural and tourist centers of Budapest and the former Royal Palace. As part of the Buda Castle District , it has been part of Budapest's World Heritage Sites since 1987. The Gothic royal palace was built in the middle of the 1300s, and its construction lasted until the end of the 1400s, so during the times of Louis the Great, Sigismund and Matthias, the residence of the Hungarian rulers was extended and decorated. From 1541, when the Turks invaded, the palace's condition began to deteriorate and serious damage to both the castle and the buildings of the Castle District had been caused during the siege and recapture of 1686.

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.

Parliament interior Budapest

The church is named after Saint Stephen I of Hungary, the first King of Hungary (c. 975–1038), whose "incorruptible" right hand is said to be housed in the reliquary. This is the most important church building in Hungary, one of the most significant tourist attractions and the third highest church in Hungary. Equal with the Hungarian Parliament Building, it is one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest at 96 metres (315 ft) - this equation symbolises that worldly and spiritual thinking have the same importance. Current regulations prohibit the construction of any building taller than 96 metres (315 ft) in Budapest.

The bridge has the name of István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction, attached to it, but is most commonly known as the "Chain Bridge". At the time of its construction, it was regarded as one of the modern world's engineering wonders. Information taken from wikipedia
