The Stories of the Buda Castle

Lively, multicultural trading town in the Middle Ages, strategically important spot in the siege of Budapest in WW2, a home to government offices and amazing museums, while people continuously living in its houses – the Buda castle area truly is a magical place! This tour takes you to the most exciting, most charming area of Budapest – to the Buda castle. It is also the part of Budapest, where history really comes alive – if only these centuries-old walls could talk! We will discover the rich history of the almost 800 years old Buda castle, its traces on the current buildings – but all in a fun, storytelling way! We will be focusing on the unique events, that happened here, the outstanding people that were present in the castle district and the architecture, that makes the Buda castle one of its kind. Oh, and there will be plenty of legends too! This walking tour takes you to both the major sights and the lesser known, quieter (but equally interesting, historic and gorgeous!) streets of the Buda Castle.
