Description

Discover the heart and soul of Budapest on our comprehensive tour of the Castle District’s top 3 attractions: the Matthias Church, Buda Castle and the Fisherman’s Bastion. Explore centuries of Hungarian history, culture and architecture with a Licensed Guide who will tailor the experience to your pace and interests. Breathe in Budapest’s rich heritage and beauty!

We offer you a 2-hour walking tour of the Matthias Church, Buda Castle and the Fisherman’s Bastion to bring you the most immersive experience of Budapest’s most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We want to give you an exclusive experience, so we include skip-the-line tickets to the Matthias Church, also known as the Church of the Assumption of the Buda Castle. Avoid the crowds and step right into this Gothic masterpiece, where your expert guide will share the church’s fascinating history as the site of royal coronations, and the artistry behind its architecture, vibrant stained glass windows, intricate frescoes, and the stunningly detailed tiled roof.

Another highlight of Castle Hill is the fairytale-like Fisherman's Basket, a neo-Gothic terrace offering one of Budapest’s most iconic panoramas. Your Private Guide will share interesting facts about this architectural marvel along with some insider tips on how to capture it and the amazing views on camera, so you’ll never forget this experience! We'll also take you to the ancient courtyards and gardens of Buda Castle. Delve into the rich history of the castle, which has stood as a symbol of power and resilience for centuries. This tour combines history, architecture, and stunning vistas, making it an unforgettable journey through Budapest’s most treasured landmarks.

Good to know before you go
  • Check your email the day before the tour for important information.
  • Skip-the-line tickets to Matthias Church are valid all day. You will skip the line at the ticket office but not at the entrance and security checks. Admission is for the church, excluding the tower. Please note that visits during masses and other special events are limited.
  • It is a walking tour, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and dressing appropriately for the weather. We're not afraid of the sun and rain, so the tour will take place as planned, regardless of weather.
  • For the best experience, we limit your group size to 1-25 guests per guide, so that everyone can get personal attention, ask questions and hear commentary clearly. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
