The towers and walls were really nice to visit, also offering great views of Parliament and the rest of the Pest side. It was nice to take the Siklo up to the area and walk over, and visiting Matthias Church nearby was fun too. Definitely one of the best parts of the trip exploring that area.

The church is still under restoration (mainly in the old Muslim corner of the church) but has otherwise been beautifully restored, including a new roof. Well worth a visit.

It is also located in the most charming historic district of Buda. Wonderful area to walk around. We went there to see St Matthias Church--closed early and couldn't enter, but were delighted to see the neighborhood.

The architecture is beautiful overlooking Pest. However, it is not worth spending money on admission as only a small section is restricted. The other section of the Bastion is allowed public access for free and the views are similar.
