Description

Join a walking tour of the Buda Castle District in English and uncover 800 years of fascinating history. Hear interesting stories, marvel at breathtaking views, and visit the opulent St. Stephen's Hall, all in the company of a knowledgeable guide.

Head to the meeting point and get ready to discover one of the main symbols of the city of Budapest. Wander through the Castle's outdoor courts, see statues and fountains, and admire panoramic views of the city below.

Listen as your guide takes you on a journey through the past, from the Golden Age to the siege of Budapest during the Second World War. Learn about the communist era that followed and find out how the Palace was restored.

Finally, make your way inside St. Stephen's Hall, the only part of the Palace interior that has been fully and faithfully restored to its former glory after being looted and destroyed during World War II.

End your tour with a deeper appreciation of the importance of Buda Castle and understand why the Buda Castle District has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


Before the walks start, our guides will indicate the exact meeting place with a turquoise umbrella bearing the Buda Castle Walks logo.
