The area
Address
Neighborhood: District I / Buda
The historical center to a city with a multifarious and intricate past, Buda has some of the most outstanding buildings in Europe and an enviable natural landscape with stunning views onto the Danube. Centered around the Royal Palace, it provides a glimpse into the golden years of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the lives led by the aristocracy at the time. Matthias Church, beside the palace, hosted many events attended by the royal family and was the chosen place for the coronation of Franz Josef, one of the Hungarian Habsburg kings. Having admired the palace and the church, a visit to Buda will be unforgettable by the stunning and memorable panorama over Pest offered by the seven towered Fishermen’s Bastion.

The remains of the church are to be seen with the remaining Buda Tower now accessible via a spiral staircase. Small charge, but amazing views.

Lovely exterior remnants of the church, and very interesting history explained in English placards inside. Incredible view from the top.

Interestingly, there are hardly any ruins to be seen on the castle hill - apart from the remains of an old church. Therefore, it is very striking and worth seeing. The display boards with information were very well done.

Some stones and this anonymous tower remain of the ancient Church. To climb to the top about 200 narrow steps. At the top there is a beautiful view. Not suitable for the elderly, heart patients and panzoi. Cost about 5 euros.

There are actually only a few remains of the church, but the tower has remained miraculously intact from the various sieges and bombings. You can climb to the top and enjoy a decent panorama overlooking the parliament and the Danube.
