Free Tour Buda Castle
♡ Save
Explore one of the most significant buildings of the Hungarian capital, the Buda Castle or the Royal Palace, admiring other sites of interest and a panoramic landscape.
The Buda Castle is one of the most iconic places in Budapest. If you want to know its evolution over time, as well as the essential places of this district of the Hungarian capital by the hand of an official English-speaking guide, join our free tour!
We will meet at Döbrentei Square to learn about the origins of the Buda Mountains, before continuing to the Royal Palace. On the way we will discover the curiosities of the Semmelweis Museum or the Castle Gardens Bazaar.
We will move towards the administrative area of the Buda district, where we will find the Sándor Palace, and, after crossing the street, we will enter the residential area, with places like the Rock Hospital or the Ruszwurm Bakery, a regular place for Sissi.
The Matthias Church awaits us to surprise us with its peculiarities, before ending our walk at the Fisherman's Bastion, one of the most popular viewpoints of the city.
Due to works in the surroundings of the Buda Castle, part of the route up to the palace is done by conventional stairs. Please note that if you have reduced mobility, please take this into account before making your reservation.

Budapest in Winter: Cold-Weather Guide and 3-Day Plan
Budapest in winter is exceptionally rewarding for travellers who appreciate outdoor thermal baths in freezing weather, lower accommodation rates, and classic seasonal markets. Although days are short and temperatures regularly hover around freezing, the city's grand architecture, world-renowned indoor bathhouses, and hearty comfort food make it well worth a trip between December and February.
