I'd wanted to be part of the tourist hype to go to the castle by taking the funicular. But dozens of tourists were lining in front of me, and the slope nearby looked quite friendly. I thus decided to walk there.
其實城堡位高於多瑙河48公尺之山丘，所以並不是什麼險峻難爬的路徑。
In fact, the castle lies only 48 meter above the Danube river, so it's not a difficult climb.
從布達山區可以看到蓋勒丘上的解放女神雕像。
One can see the Liberty Statue on Gellert Hill from Castle Hill.
城堡首度完工於1265年，，由貝拉四世所建，以厚重的城牆為外層，是匈牙利國王生活起居的複合區，之後其他國王擴建，布達佩斯城就是由這一區延伸出去。不過後來被圍剿多達31次，王宮被毀了又重建，但原本哥德和巴洛克以及中古世紀風的建築元素有保留下來。
The castle was first finished in 1265, constructed at the order of King Bela IV, as a keep surrounded by thick walls. It was a castle complex for Hungarian kings. The subsequent kings had the palace built and expanded the castle. It was around this part that the city grew. The castle was besieged up to 31 times in history, and the palace is a result of palaces destroyed and rebuilt over the course of time, but the Gothic and Baroque elements, along with medieval design are retained.
從半山丘俯看城市風光。
One can overlook the city from the hill.
從石牆下走過要小心落石。
There are signs reminding tourists to beware of falling rocks when going through the arches.
多瑙河上風光明媚。
The riverscape of the Danube River is poetic.
