A mellvédekről látható páratlan budapesti panorámája miatt a legjelentősebb idegenforgalmi látványosságok közé tartozik. A Halászbástya Dunával párhuzamos főhomlokzata mintegy 140 méter hosszúságú, amelyből a déli folyosószárny hossza mintegy 40 m, az északié 65 m, míg a díszes középső mellvédfal 35 m hosszú. A régi budai várfalak helyén a Mátyás-templom átépítésével is megbízott Schulek Frigyes tervei alapján épült 1895 és 1902 között, neoromán stílusban. A neve arra utal, hogy a középkorban a várfalnak ezt a részét a halászok céhe védte. 1947–48-ban Schulek Frigyes fia, Schulek János vezette a második világháborúban megrongálódott épületegyüttes helyreállítását.
The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is a terrace in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church. It was designed and built between 1895 and 1902 on the plans of Frigyes Schulek. Between 1947–48, the son of Frigyes Schulek, János Schulek, conducted the other restoration project after its near destruction during World War II.
From the towers and the terrace a panaromic view exists of Duna, Margaret Island, Pest to the east and the Gellért Hill.
Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin in 896.
The Bastion takes its name from the guild of fishermen which was responsible for defending this stretch of the city walls in the Middle Ages. It is a viewing terrace, with many stairs and walking paths.
A bronze statue of Stephen I of Hungary mounted on a horse, erected in 1906, can be seen between the Bastion and the Matthias Church. The pedestal was made by Alajos Stróbl, based on the plans of Frigyes Schulek, in Neo-Romanesque style, with episodes illustrating the King's life.
