On the Grid : Buda Castle

"The Buda Castle is probably the greatest tourist attraction in Budapest, which means you can hardly be alone there. But believe us! You don’t want to miss it! Every street, every corner and every house surprises you and takes you to another world. Try to go off the beaten track, follow your instincts and be absorbed by the beauty of the area!" - Barbara Majsa

"This stunning 18th-century Baroque palace, a World Heritage Site perched on Castle Hill, evokes images of Hungarian kings and the mighty Hapsburg empire. Accessible via funicular or a steep walk, the castle's gardens, squares, and lavish interiors can be taken in on a guided tour or a relaxed afternoon on your own. Various portions of the palace were added in later centuries, offering a cornucopia of architectural and historical sights. The castle's omnipresence (its height makes it visible from many corners of the city) offers orientation and grounding for tourists and locals alike."

Such a magnificent place to visit! It gives you a beautiful panoramic view and its architecture and ornaments are totally worthy of your attention and time. I will for sure revisit this place on my next trip to Budapest. You can find a few machines to collect souvenir coins of the castle and of course you should try to get up there by the funicular. It will give an essence of a different epoque to your visit.

An astonishing place — absolutely worth the visit. The architecture, views, and history make it one of the highlights of Budapest. Highly recommended! Take your time to explore — it’s easy (and enjoyable) to get lost in the castle grounds. Don’t miss the chapel and the lower levels, as well as the areas around the castle. There’s a lot to see, and every corner has something interesting.

The Castle Building is a world-class beauty, and you can't miss it when you're in Budapest. Located next to the Fisherman's Bastion, it's a 100% must-visit spot. The building is huge, and we stumbled upon a garden party with food, drinks, music, and stunning river views. Take your time to explore the area, as the views from this spot truly capture the essence of Budapest. It's a breathtaking experience you won't want to miss!

Huge historical building with amazing views, you need a few hours to watch the whole thing correctly. Access is possible from different parts of the city. Or by funicular or by Bus. A must-visit place in Budapest

Buda Castle is one of the most captivating places I’ve ever visited. Standing proudly on the hills of Buda, it offers breathtaking views of the Danube and the entire city of Budapest. The architecture is grand yet peaceful, and walking through its open courtyards and along the castle walls feels like stepping back in time. To reach the castle, I took the Budavári Sikló, the historical funicular elevator that connects the riverbank to the top of the hill. It’s a short ride, but full of charm. The wooden cabins and the slow climb make it a unique and memorable experience, especially for first-time visitors. Once you arrive at the top, you’re greeted not only by the beauty of the castle itself but also by the stunning views of Pest on the other side. Whether you visit during the day or in the evening when the lights glow over the city, it’s an unforgettable scene. I would highly recommend Buda Castle and the funicular to anyone visiting Budapest. It’s a perfect mix of history, beauty, and magic.

So interesting! Very informative posters everywhere showing the damage after WW2 and how it's being restored. The statues are amazing. A few good cafes. Lots of lovely clean toilets. The funicular up the hill is well worth doing. The views of Budapest from the top are stunning!

Well worth the visit. The views are great from the top and good to walk around outside. The museum is informative and interesting. The funicular is overpriced but always a fun start to the experience.
