Castle Hill

Stretching across just one kilometer, this historic district is the oldest part of Budapest, dating back to the 13th century. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers visitors a step back in time.

As you wander along its charming cobblestone streets, you’ll be surrounded by a rich blend of history and culture. The area is dotted with cozy cafés, inviting restaurants, and plenty of sights to explore. While Buda Castle is the crown jewel of the district, other notable landmarks include Trinity Square, the Mary Magdalene Tower, and the Jewish Museum—each offering its own slice of the city's story.

Perched 170 meters above the Danube, the hill provides stunning panoramic views of Budapest. And if you're not in the mood for a steep walk, hop on the vintage Buda Castle Funicular, conveniently located near the Chain Bridge, for a scenic and easy ride to the top.
