Views, views, views.. explore.

It's worth going up even if you don't have any intention of even looking at the castle. The views are literally insane.. Tip: Go just as the sun starts coming down and you will get the most beautiful photos of the Pest side. The views...More

Great views

The Castle is a great spot to visit. Would recommend walking up rather than the lift or bus. There are great spots to stop for photos of the city.

Worth a visit

We walked up to the top but you can get a train for 6 euros per person to the top. Lovely grounds. Views are amazing overlooking both sides of Budapest

At least as special in Buda's skyline as Parliament in Pest.

Many photos are worth seeing and looking around. You can get to know Hungarians a little bit. Pleasant hiking ....

Ok

It's OK to visit this place. You can either just wander around or visit some museums. It's okay to see this place but it's not something that I will go back to visit again.

Fantastic Views!

The whole area around the castle is a must see. The views around the castle are outstanding. There is a good bus service from the city or you can get the funicular, not sure how much it is though.

Grand castle on the hill

It's quite an outstanding building, now housing a gallery and museum. We walked around the outside of the castle and enjoyed the views on a clear day.

Can you walk from Buda Castle to Fisherman's Bastion? If so, how far is it? I am not sure if they are close or if they are at the same level. Thank you.

It's a short very enjoyable walk, plenty to see, make sure to visit the hospital in the rock on the other side, well worth the effort!

Hi Don. It appears you're on the other side to where we were, dear chap, but I would definitely look into seeing if the Metro can get you there. If you haven't been to Budapest before, then it is worth while purchasing a... More
