The Church of Our Lady of Buda Castle

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

Really exquisite and magnificent. I think it's the most glorious cathedral I've had the opportunity to witness so far! Highly recommend going there. No need to buy tickets in advance, I think. There's also a small museum there. Lastly, no skirts or short dresses allowed for women.

If you’re not sure about going inside, don’t worry as sunset is the perfect time to go anyway! The whole Fisherman’s Bastion area lights up beautifully as the sun goes down, and at night, it’s absolutely magical. The mix of city lights and colorful skies makes it feel like something out of a dream. Even just walking around is worth it. the views, the vibe, and the photo spots are incredible from every angle. I would definitely go back again just to catch that sunset turning into night.

Beautiful place, lots of history. You can go around by yourself, but to be honest, the best way to get to know Buda Castle area is through a walking tour with a local guide. They are very knowledgeable and you'll enjoy even more your time there.

Buda Castle is an absolute must-visit in Budapest! The historic castle complex offers breathtaking views over the Danube and Pest side of the city. The architecture is stunning, and wandering through the courtyards and around the castle walls feels like stepping back in time. Inside, you can explore museums and galleries that dive deep into Hungarian history and art. Whether you visit during the day or at night when the castle is beautifully lit up, it’s an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for history lovers, photographers, and anyone wanting to experience the heart of Budapest!

Magnificent church in itself but we were sent to a heavenly space when we attended an Organ Concert in Matthias Church. Our organist treated us to Bach, Schuman etc including vocals. Super to see such an old less popular instrument like the church organ, been given a central role alongside the use of an i-pad! The sound was awesome. Such a delight. Thanks for the pleasure. A church donation of 45e (2 adults/2 child) was well worth it! Tickets in advance or on entry (like us) 30mins before concert.

Magnificent church. Must see in the Buda part off town. You won't find a square meter within the church that isn't decorated in the most beautiful way possible.
