Buda Castle District: Private Tour including Gellért Hill

What your day looks like

On your private walking tour of Budapest, your expert local guide will take you to some of the most important historical and cultural sites of Buda. Once the capital of Hungary, the Buda area of the town contains monuments that define the city’s legacy. Budapest is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, home to an incredible array of World Heritage Sites and stunning architecture that draws millions of tourists yearly. The Danube River splits the Buda side of the city from the Pest, which, having both been independent cities originally, were unified to become Budapest in 1873. The multitude of hot springs has made the city famous for its public baths, which come in a variety of architectural styles from the Turkish era to Art Nouveau. Your private guide will begin your tour on Castle Hill, which stands more than 100 m above the Danube and offers outstanding panoramas of the city. Here you will find the stunning Matthias Church, dating back five centuries. The Fisherman’s Bastion is also worth your attention, a terrace with stunning views dedicated to the fisherman who defended the city walls in the Middle Ages. Buda Castle is the historical residence of the Kings and Queens of Hungary, an imposing building that has undergone a series of transformations since the mid-13th century. On this tour, you will explore the gardens with your guide.As you wander to Gellért Hill, enjoy yet another stunning vantage point to admire the city in all its glory. The hill was named after Saint Gerald, who was thrown to his death here.

Here, your guide will leave you to enjoy the bathhouse and its soothing pools at your leisure, with tickets included!Please note that children below 14 years are not allowed to enter the Thermal Pools.
