Destroyed by fire in World War II, this imposing 13th-century palace was rebuilt with modern interiors while incorporating hidden walls and medieval structures that remained hidden over the centuries.

Besides the monuments, you get a breathtaking panorama of the Danube with the Chain Bridge and the Pest side of the city on the opposite side of the river.The views are very similar to those from Fisherman’s Bastion. And being connected to the Chain Bridge, the palace complex is breathtaking at night when the overpass and the Castle are lit up. Be sure to also take a trip on the fully restored historic Castle Funicular Railway, which departs from the Buda end of the famous Széchenyi Chain Bridge and deposits travelers in the heart of the Castle District.This entire historic landmark is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can be explored either on your own or as part of an informative walking tour.

We visited the Visegrad Citadel by car on a sunny weekday. Parking was easy, it costs HUF 300 per hour. The parking area was limited. The citadel is an absolute must to see. You cannot get that view of the River Danube anywhere else! :-)

Vajdahunyad castle is definitely a must, when in Budapest ???? It offers you cool architecture, nice park area for a walk and also agricultural museum ???? It's one of the most beautiful small castles that I have seen, especially in the winter time ????

I absolutely loved this castle and the fairy garden around it. We went for a horse racing too just next to the castle. I especially liked the hungarian folk dancers show here.

We took a ticket for the palace and one attraction (the coach museum). The palace is very nice, well preserved and contains amazing furniture and many other interesting things. The visit of the palace lasted about one hour and after that we visited the coach museum and the garden. We really spent some lovely hours there.

This castle was the starting point of the recent Trail run we participated, so we also took the opportunity to look around before the race. We had about 30 - 35 minutes, which was enough to walk up to the castle and visit this interesting place. This is only partly renovated, but worth to visit and learn the history, enjoy the great view from the walls. We also enjoyed the friendly and warm welcome from the staff, and good wishes for the race,
