After our pleasant visit to Buda Hill we made our way down to the river and again crossed the Chain Bridge. The weather had (thankfully) cooled down and the wind blowing down the Danube nearly took us along with it. We passed the Gresham/Four Seasons and headed towards the Basilica of Saint Stephen, the patron saint of Hungary. The neighborhood around it has been turned into a delighful pedestrian zone, adorned with elaborate street lights. There is a large open square in front of the basilica, making the building even more imposing. It took many years to complete and the style is described as 'eclectic'. The interior has a new, scrubbed-clean look, but it is still very beautiful.
