Hoogtepunten

Budapest’s Castle District is a 1.5 kilometer-long neighborhood perched at the top of a hill rising from the Danube riverbank. It’s a neighborhood with a timeless atmosphere, surrounded by walls, and with plenty of places to stop and admire the spectacular views of the city below. This tour is an exploration of one of the oldest sections of the city, which is full of history, fascinating stories, and charming architecture, as well as the scars from dozens of sieges and battles. Once you pass the tour buses clustered in a few spots, this is a quiet car-free neighborhood of winding cobblestoned streets, baroque and gothic facades, colorful old stucco houses, and a few of Budapest’s most prominent buildings and monuments. This tour will showcase not only the important sites—such as the eclectic Matthias Church with its colorful tiled roof and brightly colored interior, the Royal Palace complex, and the Fisherman’s Bastion—but also the secret spots hidden in the side streets.

Route

  1. The streets follow the shape of the hill, and have seen plenty of action since the mid-13th century when the first royal residence was built here. Your guide will discuss the periods of history which influenced this neighborhood, with a special emphasis on the Jewish population which once lived here, the Hungarian royalty, and the Habsburg empire.

    10 min

  2. You’ll learn about the heroes and villains of World War Two who left their mark here, and the brutal siege of Budapest in which the neighborhood was demolished when the German and Russian armies met on these streets. Buda became an important European city in the 15th century, a melting pot of nations.

  3. You’ll hear about how the establishment of the Royal Court sparked the beginning of a long golden age—even though no royals ever resided here. The palace and the neighborhood have been destroyed and rebuilt many times over during the course of their history, with each period, particularly the re-building after World War Two (when there was such extensive damage), leaving a different mark on the current appearance of the place.

    10 min

  4. These days the Hungarian president is lucky enough to be able to call this neighborhood home, along with a few hundred regular citizens living in the hundreds of years old buildings. Join us to learn all about this area which has witnessed so much history.

Verzamelpunt
Meet your guide on the Buda side of the Chain Bridge (Lánchíd) at Clark Ádám tér (square), next to the "Zero Kilometer Statue." Look for this giant stone statue of a zero (this is the point from where all distances in Hungary are measured) across the street from the entrance to the funicular.

About Boedapest

Boedapest verbindt heuvelachtig Buda en vlak Pest aan de Donau: een statige hoofdstad van thermale baden, rivierpaleizen en levendige ruïnebars.

Aan de kant van Buda staan op de Burchtheuvel het Burchtpaleis, de Matthiaskerk en de witte torentjes van de Vissersbastei, die allemaal op de rivier neerkijken. De Kettingbrug leidt naar Pest, waar het Hongaarse Parlementsgebouw langs de oever ligt en de Sint-Stefansbasiliek een paar straten landinwaarts oprijst. De Gellértberg met zijn Citadella biedt het wijdste uitzicht.

Top-ranked sights in Boedapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
