Free Tour por el Castillo de Buda
Info
The Buda Castle is one of the most iconic landmarks in Budapest. Overlooking the Danube from the summit of Buda Hill, it has been a silent witness to the city's history for centuries. For those interested in learning about its evolution and key sites in this historic district, a guided walking tour with a Spanish-speaking guide is available.
The meeting point is at Döbrentei Square, next to the statue of Empress Sissi, where the origins of the Buda Hills will be introduced before embarking on a stroll towards the famous Royal Palace. Along the way, participants will discover interesting facts about the Semmelweis Museum and the Buda Castle Gardens Bazaar, which provides an opportunity to ascend for some of the best panoramic views of Budapest.
The stories of King Bela IV, General Eugene of Savoy, and Monarch Matthias Corvinus will accompany the group while walking around the majestic Buda Castle, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, alongside the monumental and residential hill complex. The palace currently hosts the Budapest History Museum, Széchenyi Library, and the Hungarian National Gallery.
The next stop is the administrative area of the Buda district, where the Sandor Palace, the official residence of the President of Hungary, is located. Adjacent is the Carmelite Monastery, where the Prime Minister conducts various functions. There will be a brief discussion on the differences between the two offices.
A quick crossing of the street will lead to the residential area, known as the medieval town. Here, the history-laden Rock Hospital and the traditional Ruszwurm Pastry Shop, frequented by Empress Sissi, can be found, allowing attendees to indulge in desserts that delighted the queen.
The Matthias Church is nearby and promises to captivate visitors with its unique features before the group concludes their tour at the Fisherman’s Bastion, one of the city's most beautiful viewpoints, perfect for capturing dreamy postcards. Will you miss out? Reserve your spot now!
