  • Admire the Gothic splendor of the Matthias Church and explore the seven towers of Fishermen's Bastion

What to expect

Your tour begins at the Holy Trinity Statue, from where you walk around the magnificent Matthias Church, built in the splendid Gothic style of the 15th century. Next to the cathedral you can admire the Fishermen's Bastion, a fantastic fairy tale structure offering the best view over the Danube and the Hungarian Parliament building.

After a pleasant walk on the old cobble-stone streets, leave the residential district to travel to the President's Palace and the Royal Palace complexes. Walk around the courtyards and fountains, and look at the proud guards outside the palace. From the royal terraces you can enjoy the the most stunning views of the other side of the city across the majestic Danube River, with full views of its main bridges: Margaret Bridge, Chain Bridge, Elizabeth Bridge, and Liberty Bridge.

After walking back from the Royal Palace, explore the other side of the castle. From the medieval walls you have an excellent view towards the Buda Hills - the western part of the city with its forests and nature parks. Your tour later ends at the tour starting point at the Holy Trinity Statue, in front of the Matthias Church.

    Compared to all the other walking tours during this week (3 others) this was by far the worst. The guide, although a perfectly lovely person, was not enthusiastic or engaging. There were long periods when we just followed her with no information being shared. Typically on walking tours the guide will constantly be relaying facts and anecdotes, both while standing and walking.

    Visited a very interesting area, high up on the “Buda” side of Budapest with magnificent views. Got a cab there as it’s a long climb up and then a two hour walking tour all outside the castle area ( which was in fact a Palace.) Excellent tour guide too.

    Excellent guide & very informative. My only negative point is it was a long way from the ship & it would have been better if it mentioned in the advert how far away it was.

    Dominik (spelling?) made the tour a thoroughly enjoyable and informative afternoon. His commentary was a great balance of local and National history and we were able to understand how the Castle District evolved into the popular Tourist destination we see today. Highly recommended tour guide. Thank
