Why you’ll love this…

Begin at the commanding Palace, a symbol of royalty and rebirth throughout Hungary’s history.
Explore the magnificent Matthias Church with its lavish roof decoration and interior, and the romantic Fisherman’s Bastion with unrivaled views over Pest cityscape and the rolling Danube river below.
Stroll through the cobbled streets and baroque facades of the Castle Hill residential district, lovingly rebuilt when Habsburg-­led troops retook it from the Turks in 1686 and again after the Russians crushed Nazi troops there in 1945.
Visit the house of an 18th-century pharmacist’s family, reflecting on everyday life in the Castle District.
End at the Vienna Gate with sweeping views to Óbuda (Old Buda) where the Romans founded the city, then named Aquincum.
