Full description
Start at the Holy Trinity Statue, from where you walk around the magnificent Matthias Church. Admire the Fishermen's Bastion, a fantastic fairy tale structure offering the best view over the Danube and the Hungarian Parliament building.  Head to the President's Palace and the Royal Palace complexes and walk around the courtyards and fountains, and look at the proud guards outside the palace.  Walk back from the Royal Palace, and explore the other side of the castle. From the medieval walls, you have an excellent view towards the Buda Hills - the western part of the city with its forests and nature parks.  After the guided walking tour enjoy a few minutes break in the entrance hall of the Hospital in the Rock Museum. Receive a skip-the-line ticket from your tour guide and who will help you to join your scheduled visit to the museum. This will be the most exciting part of your tour. Have a 1-hour guided tour in the "Hospital in the Rock" WW2 underground bunker museum. This place used to be a secret military hospital hidden deep down below the Buda Castle. The hospital is part of a system of natural caves and tunnels, that stretches over nearly six miles. The museum that is located in the old rooms of the hospital was established to preserve its rich history.  See many rooms exhibiting hundreds of lifelike wax figures and showing you the story of the underground hospital, that was then turned into an atomic bunker during World War 2. Follow your guide through the tunnels of this place and get a feeling of what life during these times, especially as a wounded soldier must have looked like.

Put your guide Kati was lovely and very knowledgeable about the Buda castle area. She was so professional and helpful. Especially dealing with the other woman on our trip who had some booking issues. She was very helpful while focusing on the tour at the same time. Thank you for a great experience and brief education of the landmarks and historical sites. The tour of Hospital in the Rock was a great additional tour and Kati was helpful in getting us to the entrance which was a bit of a challenge to find on your own!

Noémi was absolutely excellent with us today she explained the history around the area and made me and my partner feel very settled and not awkward. We had a good walk and good chat which is always a bonus! The hospital was good but was a little draining we would of much rather of walked another few miles and had Noémi talk to us about the history more lol. Down fall with the hospital is no photography is allowed although several people on our tour didn’t respect the rules which is a little disappointing.
