A short minibus ride takes us over the Danube to the entrance gate to the Castle district where we embark on this captivating tour. Wander through the sleepy streets that wind their way around Medieval, Baroque and 19th century buildings, as your guide regales you with the unexpected stories of events that occurred behind the closed doors of inhabitants and house owners. Glimpse into the oldest confectionary shop in Budapest where you might be tempted by the tantalising cakes on offer, before heading to the first private art gallery in Hungary.


Continue strolling through the historical streets around the Royal Palace and Castle Hill, a Unesco World Heritage Site, from where you have breath-taking views over the city, before heading back down to the residential area of the district. A surprise awaits you at the Hilton Hotel before we bring the tour to an end at the one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, Matthias Church, next to the Fishermen’s Bastion in the heart of Buda.
