Our Secret traveler joined this free tour all about the Castle District in Buda and recommends it as a "fascinating & unique insight to Budapest". "This tour really helps you understand what life was like in Medieval Times under the control of Ottomans, and includes many important sights, monuments, examples from the Middle Ages. The remarkable stories connected to one of the oldest parts of the city and these beautiful buildings like the Matthias Church, the Former Royal Palace, the White House of the Hungarians are revealed by local guides who share the legends and anecdotes with the travelers. A really interesting topic delivered excellently by knowledgeable and passionate local guides!"

Overview

Would you like to visit one of the oldest parts of the city? We show you around the Castle District, where you can find the Former Royal Palace, the “White House” of the Hungarians, and the oldest and the nicest buildings of the city. We go closer to the Matthias Church which is the nicest neo-Gothic Church in the city and if you would like to take stunning pictures of the view, then definitely this is your tour, because we show you the Fisherman's Bastion as well, which is one of the nicest lookout towers in Budapest!

Locals usually say; in Pest there is a lot to do, and in Buda there is a lot to see, so come and check the Buda side with us!
