Budapest (Sunrise/Sunset, Lady Liberty Statue, Aquincum)

Because we spent our first night in Budapest on the river cruise ship (our last night on the ship), we had the opportunity to see sunrise on the Danube River in Budapest.

After disembarking from the cruise ship for the last time, we boarded the bus for our half day in Szentendre. On our way there, we made a stop at the Liberty Statue (Szabadság Szobor or Statue of Liberty).

The hill upon which Liberty Statue resides provides more stunning views of Budapest and the Danube River. Our (now former) Gate 1 cruise ship is in a couple of these photographs, which shows how convenient its port was to Budapest.

Although we did not have the opportunity to stop there, we were able to see the ruins of the Roman City of Aquincum from the bus.

After returning from Szentendre and checking it into Hilton Hotel Budapest City, we took a short night cruise on the Danube River. We had seen the splendor of Budapest as we cruised into Budapest on the Danube in the morning, but this was an excellent complementary experience because it allowed us to see the city on the river at night. Sadly, my photographs don't do it justice.

Even with a decent chunk of the day spent in Szentendre and checking into the hotel and walking around downtown Budapest, we still got to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise on the Danube River, the Lady Liberty statue with its views, the ruins of the Roman city, and a gorgeous evening cruise.
