About this activity

Historical overview of the Buda Castle District, with a private walk through the small cobblestone streets and squares. Feeling the medieval aspects from the first stone laid to the present day use. Your guide will lead you through the Castle area and the historical points, occupations and roles it played throughout the Hungarian history.

Our tour takes you back in time of how the Castle Hill was originally built and designed. How the whole area was and has been used over the centuries by many different cultures and nations. Walk through these major historical points and learn how the Castle District survived and helped its inhabitants defend and live through invasions and occupations for centuries. Learn the secrets of the Buda Castle Hill!

During this tour you will see the major areas of Royal Palace, Presidential Palace, Disz Square, Holy Trinity Square, Hess Andras Square and Fisherman’s Bastion. We show you around inside the Matthias Church with its stories and legends.

We'll also take a break for coffee and cake in a cosy Café of the Castle District.

Our walking tours run with small groups and generally do not have more than 15 participants. This makes them interactive and personal and gives you plenty of chances to ask questions and get to know your guide.

Generally the tour was ok. We visited Fishermen Bastion, Matthias Church, Royal Palace, The guiding could have been richer in information and stories, make the whole thing more unforgettable. But it is possible for a foreign tourist the info was sufficient, I am complaing just because as local I know more about these buildings, its history and just because off this base, I wanted even more.

The guide I can't remember his name was great. My family ended up having a private tour since no one else had booked on this day. The tour guide was very personable and informative. I would defiantly recommend this tour!
