• Batthyany Square - Our fully licensed local (born and raised in Budapest) tour guide will meet you at the metro exit in the park and introduce the itinerary of the Budapest Castle District tour, one of the city’s most historically significant landmarks. The Buda Castle District includes the Royal Palace, Matthias Church, Fisherman’s Bastion, Maria Magdalena Church Tower, and other important buildings, urban public art mini monuments, lookout terraces, and an underground cave system.
• Matthias Church - Discover 800 years of history in an area that has witnessed several wars and occupations, with detailed commentary from your guide. Learn about the daily lives of the German, Jewish, and Hungarian populations in the district. Note: We do not enter the church.
• Fisherman’s Bastion - Learn about the connection between Walt Disney and the Fisherman’s Bastion, the differences between crosses with one, two, or three strips, and how to enjoy a free view from Castle Hill.
• Medieval Jewish Prayer House - Explore the Medieval Jewish Prayer House and the beautiful baroque residential buildings surrounding it.
• National Archives of Hungary - Discover the massive destruction caused by WWII, the location of the Nazi stronghold, where wealthy Hungarians live, and the Muslim pilgrimage site for Gül Baba, the Ottoman Turkish monk and soldier.
• Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum - Learn about the underground life of Castle Hill, its labyrinths, and its defensive role over the centuries. See the funniest public statues in Budapest and learn about the womanizing light cavalry fighters known as “huszar.”
• Buda Castle - View the massive building that once served as the residence of Hungarian kings, rebuilt many times due to war destruction. Learn about the mythical bird of the Hungarians, see where the president and prime minister’s offices are located, and much more.
• Prince Eugene of Savoy’s Equestrian Statue - Enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Pest side of the River Danube from the terrace. If you’re lucky, we’ll test your knowledge with tricky questions about the major Castle Hill landmarks and the life of Hungarians. The tour will conclude with practical information and time to answer any remaining questions.
