About this activity

Would you like to visit the most historical part of Budapest? If that’s the case, this is the perfect choice for you! The area on top of the Castle Hill has been the heart of the capital even from the medieval times and partly survived the great wars. Today it is a charming UNESCO World Heritage Site. With cobblestoned passages, Baroque apartments, royal courtyards, cosy cafés and galleries the Old Town of Buda is a mix of culture and heritage, old and new. Of couse we will not miss such important sights as the gorgeous Matthias Church, the iconic Fisherman’s Bastion or the Royal Palace which houses two museums and a library actually.
