This breathtaking castle is much better viewed from the Pest side of Budapest, especially after dark, when it is dramatically illuminated. However, strolling through the castle area and atriums is a must when you visit the Buda side of town.

One of the places you just have to visit during your stay in Budapest. Beautiful castle and area around it. The view from Buda Castle is amazing.
