The tour will start by an exclusive journey because we will take the funicular up to the castle.

Once reaching the top, we will find ourselves right next to Sándor Palace where the President of Hungary resides. Opposite Sándor Palace are the buildings of the Hungarian National Gallery where great Hungarian artists’ works of the fine arts can be seen, as well as other foreign artists’ temporary exhibitions such as Frida Kahlo or Vincent van Gogh. Going towards the inner part of the Castle District we will soon reach the Fisherman’s Bastion and the deservedly famous Mathias Church from where a breathtakingly beautiful view over Budapest is guaranteed. Going further north we are going to reach the Tower of Mária-Magdolna and the building of the Military History Institute and Museum. The tour will come to an end in front of the Hospital in the Rock (Sziklakórház) which is to be found under the Castle and which served as a sanctuary during World War II.
