Hálaszbástya 漁夫稜堡
中世紀時,這個居高臨下的戰略要點 (這一帶當時是布達舊城牆及魚市場),是由漁民負責防禦工作。
建築師舒列克 (Frigyes Schulek) 在1905年完成漁夫稜堡,六個角椎型圓塔據說靈感來自游牧先民居住的營帳,表現出強烈的民族色彩。

Széchenyi Lánchid 鍊橋
塞切尼伯爵(Széchenyi)曾為了這個理想,仔細研究過歐洲的許多橋樑,並請英國工程師威廉克拉克(William Tierney Clark)設計,於1849年完成了這個壯麗的布達佩斯新地標。
而鍊橋橋頭的石獅,有則奇特的軼聞。據說當年雕刻師因為忘了為石獅雕出舌頭,竟然難過得投多瑙河自盡。來鍊橋時,記得仔細看看橋頭的石獅。

Szent István Bazilika 聖史蒂芬教堂
為了紀念首位天主教君主而建。伊斯特凡雕像在主祭壇中央;對匈牙利人來說,最具歷史價值的,就是伊斯特凡已風化成木乃伊的右手前臂,保存在像小歌德教堂的聖物箱裡,投幣亮燈後才看得清楚。最引人目光的,就是匈牙利畫家洛茲的金色系馬賽克壁畫。
教堂鐘塔內的電動鐘,是德國帕索市(Passau,在前東德境內)的居民所贈,以感念匈牙利開放邊境,接納數以千計被奧地利拒絕收留的東德難民。

Gresham palota 葛瑞申大樓
在羅斯福廣場(Roosevelt tér)上,葛瑞申是一家英國保險公司,正面頂端是創辦人Thomas Gresham的頭像,旁邊分割成數個弧面。一樓的鍛造鐵門鐵窗,由孔雀造型帶出非凡的線條,令人驚豔!堪稱布達佩斯分離派建築的代表作。
