Budavár Palace in blue hour

Another great night shot from Almasi. You've timed it right to keep some colour in the sky, just before it goes completely black.

what would be the best settings for taking this kind of photo ? all my nite ones turn out really dark ?

I think the most important thing is timing. You can take these type of photos in blue hour. This is the period just before sunrise/just after sunset, when streetlights are on and sun is away. Your eyes can't see the sky so blue like cam can see, you'll find the sky is grey mostly. I usually use Aparture priority with f/8-11 with tripod and +1 brightness. I hope it helps.
