The Church of Our Lady of Buda Castle

For me, this church is the second must-see in Budapest. Incredibly beautiful on the outside and very atmospheric inside. I recommend buying a ticket in advance, as the queues for tickets on-site are quite long. I recommend getting the audio guide on your smartphone. The total tour time is 1-1.5 hours. Always crowded, but you can see everything between group tours.

One of the standout buildings in Budapest and a must see. Affordable entry to the castle, tickets can be bought a short walk from the main entrance. We visited when a choir was performing. You can also walk to the far side and head upstairs to get a better view of the main hall.

This is a wonderful church and just looks beautiful from the outside and the inside. The facade matches the Fisherman’s Bastion which makes the entire structure look even more majestic. The walls within the church are beautifully painted. When visiting the church you have the opportunity to visit the top of the tower. It will take you some effort to get there. The view from the top is amazing. From the view of the parliament, the Fisherman’s Bastion to the beautiful ornate roof tiles, you will get to see it all. I highly recommend visiting this sight and recommend purchasing the tickets ahead of time.

Matthias Church stands magnificently restored in pride of place at a high point of the Buda Castle hilltop site. It's gleaming white stone dazzles in strong sunlight with the polychrome roof tiles providing a colourful canopy. Restoration of castle buildings continues all around with cranes and workers moving above the tourist crowds and route deviations in place. The end result will be wonderful and will be worth a return visit in a few years.

We went here as the final stop on a tour and they saved the best time last. The city has so many beautiful buildings and this is certainly one of them. There is a great deal of history here as well as the space. I am not a religious person and I've been to a lot of basilicas, cathedrals and churches since I began visiting Europe some twenty years ago. I've become far more particular about what I visit after having been to so many. This was certainly worth the visit.

The castle is a stunning historical site with incredible views over the Danube and the city. The architecture is unique and the atmosphere is full of history and charm. Walking through the courtyards and along the castle walls is a magical experience. Inside, the museums offer a deep dive into Hungarian art and history. Whether you visit by day or night, the scenery is unforgettable

The atmosphere inside feels both sacred and majestic, with intricate details, stained glass windows, and centuries of history reflected in every corner. Located in the heart of Buda Castle, it offers not only spiritual significance but also an incredible cultural and architectural experience. A truly unforgettable place for history lovers, art enthusiasts, and travelers alike.

I visited Matthias Church in Budapest from the outside, and I was really impressed by its stunning architecture. I took some beautiful photos and loved the view. Definitely a must see even from the exterior .
