Amazing place to visit in every season. Lot of ancient buildings and astonishing slight seeing places for left and right bank of Danube.

Awesome place. A must visit when in Budapest. Magnificent views of the city, the river, and the parliament. The architecture is awesome. It can be a bit crowded, and expect high prices in the restaurants. There's nice green spots to walk around and spend some time there too. Better to go during the week to avoid the masses of tourists. I went during the day, but it must be very beautiful during the night as well.

This is definitely a must if you are in Budapest. With magnificent castle, hill, church, the whole complex is just so impressive beautiful. The church itself is very impressive. If you are in the area, ensure to walk all the way to the end for the spectacular church and the Fisherman's Bastion. You can have great view of Budapest parliament from here too. Highly highly recommended!

A very interesting part of Budapest. Lots of things to see. The Budapest card is highly recommended if you're doing just a one day visit. It saves lots of walking.

Fantastic architecture and a view across the danube. You can access the battlements for free and there's a man playing the accordion 🪗 and an artist and places to eat, nice ice cream. Super clean looking but get the electric car to the top as the funicular arrives too far away. More scenery on the car to see going up, 3000 each for all day long hop on and off. Across the backside is the hospital in the rock.

One word, Awesome! I love Hungary.

One of the best things about visiting Budapest is that it is so unique. It has a unique history, a unique culture, and unique architecture. I especially loved exploring the Castle District. The streets are so pretty and you can tell that this is where the rich people used to live. One of my favourite things about visiting Budapest is how unique it is.

This is a must see when visiting Budapest. The buildings in the area make you feel as though you've travelled through time and landed in a medieval fantasy. Plus it offers some of the most spectacular views of the city. Side comment: the chimney cake sold here are about 5 times more expensive than other areas, so do yourself a favour and grab one from any of many the underground stations in the city.

Currently a major construction site. A head of government is erecting a monument here, even though there are already enough of them there unnecessarily.

(Translated by Google) It was very beautiful in this very cold but crystal clear weather (Original) Nagyon szép volt ebben a nagyon hideg, de kristálytiszta idöben

The most historic and breath taking part of town. Don't miss the center : Fisherman's Bastion and Matthew church, but be sure to visit the two extremes of the plateau, on one end the castle itself with the historic museum, and on the other, the tower, only recently reopened and the highest point of view in the city.

Budapest is one of the best places and Buda Castle is not just an excellently build facade, it also provides a clear and distant few of the Danube, the parliament, chain bridge and other significant spots of Budapest. All visitors should essentially visit this place. One can just sit there and gaze at the beautiful city. It is huge at the same time calm.

One of the highlights of Budapest! The castle district offers beautiful buildings with a wonderful view of Budapest and the Donau. A must see when visiting Budapest.

One more wonderful memory from Budapest You can accumulate by going to the Fisherman Bastion and Castle District 🏰 Located on picturesque hill it is giving You the opportunity to explore the city from birds’ eye view 🦅 Beautiful Matthias Church ⛪️ what once was a Mosque 🕌 will mesmerise You by its beautiful architecture and interior. I advise You to walk around and explore the Castle district with it’s beautiful corners, views, cosy shops, caffès and restaurants. ♥️

There are so many things to say about this district. I really suggest taking the small bus that brings you to the main 4 attractions of this part of the city, it's cheap and useful. The view to Pest is stunning and the presence of the immense Parliament will accompany you during all your visits. If possible choose a sunny day for the best experience.

Lots of historical places to visit museums and attractions are cheap to enter, the entire district is really accessible as there is parking in it, there are 🚌 tours etc. Souvenirs are affordable. Would definitely suggest paying ticket for church and tower (be aware there are 200 steps to top and stairs are narrow, not for everyone)

Stunning place. A must-visit when in Budapest. Breathtaking views of the city, the river, and the parliament. The architecture is flawless. I highly recommend a guided tour to learn about its history. Once you are on top of the hill the view to the Pest side of the city is an absolute joy to the eye.

The Castle District is a must see if you visit Budepest. The views are enchanting and mystical as the fog rolls in and out! There is a charge at Fisherman's bastion to view from the upper terraces. The lower terraces are free and have very similar views. Most half day tours take you to both Heros Square and Castle Hill...and drop you off to wander on your own for only about an hour in each place. If you want to plan more of a full day and take your time to stroll the parks and feel less rushed, you can always call a taxi ( or have a hotel call a taxi for you if you don't have an app) for your return trip. You will be glad you spent the 10.00 on avg. extra cab fare for the time to see the beautiful extras the locals enjoy on the Buda side. Don't miss the Buda Castle (a.k.a. The Royal Palace), the Labyrinth of Buda Castle, Mathias Church and the Maison Bistro ( a very nice place to stay and eat). The Buda side starts closing down after 6 p.m. so try to see the Palace first ( it's also closed on Monday). Tour the fisherman's bastion area and the castle district area after all the tourists leave.

It is one of the most unique and beautiful castle districts in the world. Full of amazing historical places, great restaurants, cafés and sweatshops. Almost always, there is some entertainment going on. And at many spots, it provides a breathtaking view to the city. It is worthy to spend there a few hours and just to get lost on the streets.

Castle District on the Buda side of Budapest. You can get there by walking up the hill, or taking the funicular partially up (10 euro in 2023) or take the electric golf cart Bus Tour (14 euro) and it takes you to 4 stops , all which have something to see. Well worth it. We stopped for a drink at stop number 1 . Beautiful fortress There is also a restaurant. The two are separate, the bar is the higher one. Spectacular virews from both. You can only enter if you are a customer. Bathrooms available only for customers here. Worth visiting while I'm Budapest.

Beautiful area but under reconstruction with beautiful views of the pest area. I'm sure it will be even more beautiful afterwards. By all means visit Budapest if you have a chance. It is a beautiful city with friendly people.

Several building restorations in process during our visit so we didn't get the entire experience, we will have to come back for that. Many great views, Architectural treasures and history lessons here. Take time to enjoy them all including the back streets of this area

A wonderful place.

Super location

It is a beautiful place, which you have to see if you are in Budapest. It is covered in a morning or afternoon. The fishermen's bastion is spectacular and exploring the typical little streets is the best. The best are the views. It is worth it at sunset, when you can appreciate the city and then see the Congress illuminated. In autumn it is very beautiful because of the colors of the trees.

It's not very impressive up close but it has some excellent statues.

Beautiful

Nice sight in Buda.

Awesome place with incredible panoramic views all over the city, for free! A must go when in town. You should not miss the chance to visit here and walk around its walls, most deffinitely worth it!

We love this neighbourhood. Full of history, charming beauty, stunning views and if the timing is good even fantastic festivals are held here. An enjoyable must for any visitor.

nice and historical. but asking money for the view is a rip off!! at halaszbastya you actually have to buy a ticket to take a look at the view. now its free because there are no tourists nit maby anyway. hungarians came a long way. their prices are expensive!@

The view is fantastic from here. The architecture, sculptures, ambience and attractions are interesting to say the least. A pleasant place to hangout for a while

Nice, old, ruins everywhere...

The castle was beautiful in all ways. You must visit this amazing site. We wish we had found a guide in order to have a guided tour but we coulnd't find this option. We liked it so much though and enjoyed our visit.

An absolutely beautiful part to visit! We went up on the Castle bus as part of the Budapest Card which was a cute little journey. You can get on and off at different areas as it's actually quite big and there's a lot to see! I would set a day aside for the whole area. There are different buildings you can go in which cost extra depending, so do a bit of research and planning beforehand. It was so nice there we ended up going twice!

The Castle District encompasses Castle Hill (Várhegy) – nerve centre of Budapest’s history and packed with many of the capital’s most important museums and other attractions – as well as ground-level Víziváros (Watertown). What the latter lacks in sights it makes up for in excellent restaurants, many of them around Széll Kálmán tér, a major transport hub and the centre of urban Buda. Major changes are afoot, as the government aims to consolidate Castle Hill as the seat of power, and the Hungarian National Gallery is eventually due to move to a purpose-built facility in City Park.

What an amazing church. Simply stunning. The architecture is incredible and the ceramic roof tiles lend the building an amazing finishing touch. The mounted statue of at Stephen is beautiful and the views over Pest from the fortified wall are stunning. You can get great photos up and down the river with all the bridges from here.

Most definitely worth a visit, many places to see and experience, would recommend taking the funicular it adds to the whole atmosphere. So try to resist the shuttle bus sellers, they’re all around here, especially at the end of the chain bridge.

Excelent area to spend the day walking and visiting all the buildings and statues

An amazing building but currently completely closed because they are working on it. Very disappointing all around the castle area. Between being blocked off, cranes, scaffolding etc the only view you can see is of the river. Even the chain bridge is closed & has wooden scaffolding u

A must see area with beautiful views and gardens and on top of that the National Gallery in the former Royal Palace!

Really great place to visit, ticket price 2000 forint - you can buy in case opposite the enter, cash or by card. Very beautiful place

Nice place. Specially, full city view is beautiful at night

Very nice castle. Too bad a lot was under renovation when we visited. The weapons exhibit was nice.

Beautiful. Great place for a walk and enjoying the sights of udapest

Great part of town, with the bonus that you can see most of the rest of town from here.

One of the most beautiful spots and views in Budapest. A must see.

Great place to take a walk and take in the sights.

Beautiful town view. Walls are magical and well maintained. Just be sure to get there earliest possible if you want to avoid crowds.

View from this bastion castle is speechless you will need to climb long stairs all way up or hike through the way between rocks. Accessing the the towers is not for free however its Worth the visit u still can get an amazing view from the rest of the view points.

Amazing views, Amazing place. I recommend you to visit it!

You see a nice Budapest city view from top of the hill and Tower. Amazing in Night 🌙 when sky is dark and city is shining. The city's reflection in Denub River is Eye-catching for everybody. At last, a good place for Amazing pictures 📸.

For me is the one of the most beautiful places. Spectacular!

This area was so much fun to walk around and explore. Beautiful scenery and a lot of fun restaurants, shops, and museums. This hike up here and time spent was my highlight of Budapest.

Great place to see in Budapest. In fact, one of my most favourite place to visit there. It's a landmark tourist attraction.

Really nice area, sadly they were making a lot of building during my visit

Very beautiful place but be prepared to walk a lot! Its also has cafeterias and restaurants, galleries etc. Most beautiful place in Budapest!

Gorgeous castles and views of the city. Went pretty late at night so it was quite quiet but offered incredibly scenes especially of the lit up Parliament building.

Central place for tourists Very high prices on food Beautiful pano

Beautiful, gorgeous, loved it. They're renovating a lot so I couldn't go everywhere but it was ok

One of the most beautiful places in Budapest. I recommend you go at night for the views.

So beautiful from outside, just don’t enter, you’ll pay about 12€ to see just 1 FAKE ROOM of the castle, just been constructed 6 month ago

A must see for Any itinerary visiting BUDAPEST and the surrounding cities. Came at Christmas so buy some local art, hot wine and chocolate!

Great place to visit for all the lovely landmarks. Museums, castle, gallery, architecture...it has it all and to cap it off...breathtaking views of the city. Definitely get the little city bus golf cart type transport. For 8 euro it takes you all around...hop on and off as many times as you like, it goes round in a big circle of the area dropping at the major landmarks.

Beautiful area of town. Especially during the evening golden hours and sunset. The light brings the entire city and the parliament building to a great view. Fantastic panorama of the Danube and cityscape. Post sunset the city comes to life with lights and has beautiful views

Got taxi there and back as area right on top of large hill. But there is a railway up cliff, and official 'bus' from river side. Beautiful church, wall walks with great views. National art gallery and interesting museum. Standard tourist type shops and cafes etc. Nice way to spend a few hours.

Must visit place in Budapest. It is now under heavy maintenance. Lot of construction work going on. However, it is very well maintained and accessibility options are good. You have escalators, elevators, and a funicular train to reach up. At a couple of places there are guide maps. Still very few directional signs. Once on the top, it offers very good views of the Danube River and parliament building across. The famous chain bridge was also under maintenance and wrapped . We could not visit Labyrinth due to paucity of time.

One of the most beautiful places in Budapest. Art gallery in the palace was a great surprise for us. To tell the truth I have known nothing about Hungarian art. But they have amazing artists. Especially I liked 18-19 century. Highly recommended to visit 👍

Absolutely stunning. We took the Funicular up to watch the sunset on the hill. The views are incredible and the buildings are all gorgeous. Although most of the hill has been rebuilt the buildings are very in keeping with the city's architecture and unless you knew this, you probably would not know! It was quite busy in the evening but not so busy that you couldn't get some pictures. We walked across for sunrise and it was practically empty and the morning light across the city skyline is beautiful. Highly recommend a morning trip up to avoid the crowds! A must do in Budapest

If you're planning a trip to Budapest, make sure to add this place to your itinerary. It's an absolute must-visit for its stunning views of the city, the river, and the parliament. The architecture is awe-inspiring and you can easily spend hours here taking it all in. However, it's important to note that the area can get quite crowded, especially during peak tourist season. If you're looking for a more serene experience, it's best to visit during the week to avoid the masses of tourists. In terms of food and drinks, be prepared to pay a bit more than usual. The restaurants and cafes in the area can be quite pricey, but the views they offer make up for it. If you're on a budget, there are plenty of green spaces around where you can bring a picnic and enjoy the scenery. I visited during the day, but I can only imagine how stunning it would be during the night as well. It's a popular spot for evening strolls, so if you're looking for a romantic or picturesque setting, this place won't disappoint. Overall, I highly recommend adding this spot to your itinerary when visiting Budapest. Whether you're interested in architecture, photography, or simply enjoying breathtaking views, this place has something to offer for everyone.

I randomly decided to go here after a very long night out instead of going to bed so was at dawn. Highly recommend visiting at dawn. Stunning views of the sun coming up and great architecture. I also saw at least 3 couples having awesome wedding/photo shoots, lovely to see

Was a great place to spend a day wandering around. We got a shuttle which took us uphill and had 4 locations where you could get on or off. Usually you can get a funicular to top but it was out for maintenance. Saw the castle and changing of guards, Also found tower which we climbed to top of and had amazing views. Beautiful church to go inside for a break away from the crowds of people.

Super Amazing view at night. You have to climb a little to reach there but the view on river and Parliament visual is worth it, specially at night. Parliament is lighted in yellow lights which gives a golden look from castle. The church here has amazing thin work on it which looks really nice. Roof is with covered with beautiful coloured tiles worth to take few minutes and have a look. Overall atmosphere is so chill.

We walked (climbed) up to the castle complex many times during our 3 weeks in Budapest. Not only is it good exercise, but it's just a lovely, vibrant, clean, safe, place to walk around. The views are delectable!

The old town of Buda with all the famous sights, like the Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, Mattias Church, Sandor Palace and stunning views over Budapest. While these sights are stunning, make sure to wander the pretty old narrow streets admiring the old architecture and pretty buildings…

Great views. Card is accepted for payment to see the inside of the cathedral or the upper levels of the bastion walls. If not it is free to walk around. Not worth paying for the upper walls of the bastion, walk 10 minutes to the buda castle and get the same views for free

Castle district give you amazing views of the Budapest from up on the hill. The castle and surrounding area is great to explore. It is incredible to see how much restoration and rebuilding they have underway to make it even better.

Well maintained, and a must see when you visit budapest. Superb views of budapest and extremely well maintained and preserved statues and castle and surrounding area. Best to visit on a weekday and early in the morning before the tour buses arrive. Also, it can get a bit uncomfortable in the sun later in the day.

A must see if you are in Budapest. It’s great to visit during the day and night. Pure beautiful churches and castles. We enjoyed just walking around and took some amazing pictures.

Must do, must see. Put your comfortable walking shoes on and spend the whole day exploring this district. Please note that the venucular ride is not included in The Budapest Card (although the documentation advises it is) but the castle tour bus is as are the museums. The views are amazing. Not to be missed.

Stunning. The best time to wander about here is in the evenings. You can catch a Castle Bus from the bottom of the hill to Fisherman's Bastion, from where it's a couple of flights of stairs to the castle district. The castle itself is a pleasant walk down the line from Matthias Church.

Armin is beautiful and historically interesting. Worth a visit, there is a view of the Danube and the Pest area. 17. A nice place to sit, a bar or a cafe. Accessible services in the gallery are free with a purchase invoice at a bar or cafe. Do not miss there is a lot to walk uphill there are escalators and an elevator.

It’s quite beautiful up here. The trees here make the views better, and interrupt them at the same time. We didn’t go into the museum, so it was just kind of hike up all the steps, look around and say “Yup it’s pretty.” And walk back down.

Lovely area of Budapest at the top of the hill. I would suggest you get one of the buses (e.g. 16/216) unless you are superfit. There is the castle (more like a palace), lots of great views and places like the House of Houdini and the Labyrinth. It's also just a lovely old area to wander round

Historical site, still being reconstructed to its heyday before 1945. Restorations done well, but still very much underway, meaning lots.of scaffolding at present which interferes with the overall impression. An excellent view of the city available from the ramparts. We were fortunate to be there to see the process of changing the guard (on the hour).

The Castle District in Budapest is a true gem, with its stunning historic architecture, breathtaking views of the Danube, and a rich cultural heritage. It's a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this beautiful city.

Beautiful scenery,architecture is a definite must see. Gorg little hungarian chocolate stall and gift shops.shorr walk to 'that horse!' Lovely views nice and clean.

The Budapest Castle is very beautiful and you easily spend 30-60 minutes exploring all the buildings and clicking many photos. Near the castle you will find the church tower and fisherman bastion

very nice old town, you can see Budapest from the top of the hill. good place for walking and breathing oxygen.

The castle district is as name suggests, a complete fort which is on top of hill. Very huge and amazing area to explore. There are many amazing places here which you can explore. There is local bus which goes through this district so better consider it instead of hiking.

Budapest's Castle District is a historical gem, boasting stunning architecture and rich cultural charm. The Buda Castle, Matthias Church, and Fisherman's Bastion create a mesmerizing ensemble. Narrow cobblestone streets offer a quaint atmosphere, and the Danube River view is breathtaking. It's a delightful blend of history and beauty, making it an essential destination for anyone exploring Budapest.

St Matthias church may be one of the best cathedrals I’ve visited. Decked out for Christmas, its gilded interiors with beautiful painted walls did not disappoint. Don’t miss the museum tour upstairs to get a Birds Eye view!

Great place to go and walk around the castle district. There are museums, houses and a church to visit. You have to buy a ticket to enter the church. There is a Christmas market during the holiday season.

The Buda district with the fishermen's bastion and its castle is a magical and evocative place. With its beautiful architecture and its view towards Pest. Advised!
