the X Park behind it is much more important, you can learn from the hundreds of species of bugs and whatnot living in the trees, and it's a beautiful quiet peaceful place local police in the area are not very friendly to tourists unfortunately

It's cool

Super

(Translated by Google) They were very nice and the foreign management was outstanding. The exhibition is interactive and presents the cultural heritage of the area in a great way! We didn't know it, but there are plenty of opportunities within Kastély. Event and accommodation. We loved it and recommend it to everyone! Important information: during the winter season, you have to book an appointment in advance and group bookings are available. But give us a call and it's worth finding out! (Original) Nagyon kedvesek voltak és kiválló volt az idegen vezetés. A kiállítás interaktív és nagyszerűen mutatja be a környékbeli kulturális örökséget! Nem is tudtuk, de rengeteg lehetőség van Kastélyon belül. Rendezvény és szállás. Imádtuk és ajánlom Mindenkinek! Fontos információ: a téli időszakban előre kell időpontot foglalni illetve csoport foglalás van. De hívjátok fel és érdemes tájékozódni!

(Translated by Google) The castle is a destination and landmark in Békés county that is worth visiting, because it is not just a building, but also a venue suitable for holding conferences, class meetings, further training, cultural and other events, which also has permanent exhibitions, and in whose chapel baptisms and weddings are also held, as well as a venue for temporary exhibitions. And there is even a bio-brewery. (Original) A kastély Békés megyében egy olyan úti cél és nevezetesség, melyet érdemes felkeresni, mert nemcsak egy épület, hanem konferenciák, osztálytalálkozók, továbbképzések, kulturális és egyéb rendezvények lebonyolítása alkalmas helyszín, amely állandó kiállításokkal is rendelkezik, valamint amelynek kápolnájában még keresztelőket és esküvőket is tartanak, továbbá időszaki kiállításokhoz helyszínt is biztosítanak. És még bio-sörfőzde is van.

(Translated by Google) The exterior of the hunting lodge is fine! Inside, the exhibitions, with the exception of the national anthem, are not big bangs. The castle is now more of a place of accommodation and events. It's worth a visit, there is a brewery here called chuhaj... (Original) A vadászkastély külseje rendben van! Belül a kiállítások, a himnuszost leszámítva, nem nagy durranások. A kastély ma már inkább szálláshely illetve rendezvények helyszíne. Érdemes felkeresni, van itt egy olyan sörfőzde hogy csuhaj...

(Translated by Google) The guided tour is super good! The directness and kindness of the lady leading the exhibition made our day incredibly happy! I recommend everyone to visit the castle's brewery and taste the locally brewed beers!!! (Original) Tárlatvezetés szuper jó! A tárlat vezető Hölgy közvetlensége, kedvessége hihetetlenül feldobta napunkat! Javaslom mindenkinek a kastély sörfőzdéjének megtekintését a helyben főzött sörök kóstolását!!!

The landscape is great and I am sure that during summer, when the terrace is open the view makes all the money. The food would be 7/10, the staff, very close to 10/10, professional and affable. Overall it was an OK experience.

This restaurant is quite a legend among locals in Arad. It is a restaurant, but most of its panache is because of the terrace during the warm season. The prices are low, the foods are great, especially the "mici" (minced meat meatballs on the barbecue), draft beers, but they also have a menu. The location is extraordinary, exactly on the Mures river bank. This is the best characteristic of this restaurant. Unfortunately, the services are not great and are always understaffed. This is already in the urban myth and it is known that when you are there, when you get to order, you must order the food, all the beers you want to drink and maybe when you receive them, you pay. Other than that it is great.

this place has an amazingly bad reputation with the locals. it has one of the most adored locations in the city, right by the river, and yet, the management has failed to deliver on a simple aspect in the service industry: quality waiters. apart from the fact that they are always late with any type of order, be it just a bottle of soda that just needs to be taken out of the fridge and taken to the customer, they are rude, rarely answer your calls and if you want the complain and are straight up belligerent. and if the venue hosts football nights, forget about you drinks. :)

Even though the location is nice, the service is horrible with extremely rude staff, just ignoring customers. The waiters do not understand english (i.e. Redbull must be translated to Romanian) and apparently are also suffering from cerebral achromatopsia. Just save yourself some time and don't ruin your day by visiting this place.

Such a shame, wonderful location, but staff incredibly rude. After waiting 25 minutes just for our order to be taken, when complained to the waitress she replied: well if you waited 25 minutes you can wait another half an hour. We got up and just left... Don't waste your time

Lazy and very lazy unorganised waitress. Very nice place location though. It's a pity. Romanian people said that they are like this from last 30 years. Shame. Chelneri lenți și indiferenți. Așa fac de 30 de ani. Păcat de locație.

Good food and wonderfull location!

City is old and run down but people seem to be friendly. But I'm not particularly enjoy the way people drive here, it's crazy! Overall, I've had a good experience here and would like to visit again in the future.

This monument building is one of the significant works of eclectic architecture in Arad. You should visit the interior of this palace. It is wow.

An impressive building dominating Revolution Square in Arad. This is the Arad City Hall. Built at the end of the 19th century, it is one of the finest examples of eclectic style in the city. A perfect spot for photos and an architectural landmark you shouldn't miss when exploring the center of Arad :)

Very beautiful European architecture in the heart of the city.

Very beautiful building outside and inside. The mayor should take care of the building more.

Beautiful building in the heart of the city.

One of my favourite place in Arad, my hometown. If you take a brake on one of the benches situated at the front of the city hall, you can feel the pulse of the city, at any hour. Also, between 19:00 and 23:00 the motorcycles and the sport / tuned cars, are making their promenade! Love it!

Pretty cool castle! Mix of both modern and new areas although more of it is renovated than original. Cool bird outside. Each room has an exhibition and I saw some pretty cool elements which I haven’t seen in other museums before. Worth the visit if you’re in the area!

Nice castle with the river next to it. There are hawks outside the entrance, which was very interesting. Around the river, if you walk, you find lots and lots of ducks and ducklings and other birds

Pleasant and unique experience, an example of how a citadel built in the 15th century, can be enhanced and provide us with a lot of historical information through the owned collections and multimedia presentations. Unfortunately, the multimedia presentations are only in Hungarian, maybe in the future they will add presentations in tune or more international languages

beautiful castle. nicely renovated. independent visiting concept. however, written descriptions were only in Hungarian.

This is one of the most important historical landmarks of Gyula. Visiting it is a nice experience because it's nice and it's a crucial part of the city's history that dates back to hundreds of years. This is a true medieval experience that shouldn't be missed by people coming to visit Gyula. I recommend it! 👍⭐️👏💪

We visited the castle with our 11 and 9 year old kids, they absolutely loved it, and so did us. We paid about 38 EUR for 2 adults and 2 kids, but the tickets included visits for the Andrássy castle too. I say it's a fair price. The castle is completely restaured, there is even a real blacksmith shop on site, where you can buy for about 3 EUR a lucky horseshoe with your name on it.

Gyula Castle, located in southeastern Hungary, is a beautifully preserved medieval fortress offering a unique glimpse into the country's rich history. Built in the 15th century, the brick castle features a moat, high defensive walls, and a stunning inner courtyard. Inside, visitors can explore a well-curated museum showcasing period weapons, furniture, and historical exhibits. The panoramic view from the tower is worth the climb. Seasonal reenactments and cultural events add extra charm to the visit. Its peaceful park surroundings and proximity to thermal baths make it an ideal day trip destination. Gyula Castle masterfully blends history, architecture, and leisure.

Great exhibition! We had a guide. Interesting stories. Teenagers enjoyed the guided tour. Magic mirror!

Wonderful, a place full of history. They preserved some parts from the original castle. The museum is very well done, organised and I like a lot the exhibition. You can buy a ticket to visit the temporary exhibition which unfortunately it is only in Hungarian, you can buy a ticket for the permanent exhibition which is amazing, everything is also translated in English, so that's great and you can also pay to go on the roof top of the castle to enjoy the wonderful view. Totally worth it! Enjoy!

The castle itself is beautiful inside and outside, great interactive exhibitions on a huge site, a very good value to money! The temporary Sissi exhibition however was small and less outstanding. It was also interactive though and they shared a lot of information about Sissi, but there weren't many of her clothes or furniture from her castle in Gödöllő, where I believe the original Sissi exhibition is. I have found the temporary exhibition a bit pricey, comparing it to the whole castles entry fee which is only 50% higher, but there are a lot more to see and do. The castle also has a brilliant gift shop, selling all sorts of things from fridge magnets to books and even umbrellas about the castle or the towns other sights and about the temporary exhibition. The on site coffee shop serves nice coffee in various tastes and delicious cakes. The terrace of the coffee is dog friendly and you can also smoke at the outside tables.

The renewed building is very impressive, the staff and exhibitions are real professionals. The interactive parts of the exhibitions make it real joyful and fun to the entire family; go with your kids and all of you will enjoy the story and also the history. 😊🏰🗡⚔️🛡🙏🏼👽

This castle exceeded my expectations! It was traditional, full of history but very modern (with the newest interior decor trends) at the same time. If you visit this place, you can learn a lot about the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries’ lifestyle and how people lived, worked and behaved, what the etiquette was how the children learnt, what fashion trends were impressive at that time. It can take 2-3 hours to see everything and I am not kidding!

Very nicely renovated, displaying a lot of artifacts that take you back in time. New technology implemented to help visitors experience past times. Visited also a Herendi porcelan exhibition in one section of the castle, it was quite impresive. Highly recommend to visit.

The castle itself is really nice with interactive pieces being present for the visitors. However, I was very sad when I saw a real pen with ink asking me to write my letter, yet we didn't receive any paper to write on. I still recommend visiting the museum, but be aware, that you should spend at least 2 hours just to walk through and take a look at things.

Great place to learn about Hungarian nature and wildlife.

Why on earth open a trophy hunting exhibit? one that displays everything from ivory to endangered 'exotic' species and glorifies trophy hunting!? Trophy hunting is NOT hunting, it's a sad display of sadistic, unsanctioned sickness. Doesn't matter who was doing it.

Good place for all of the family member.

(Translated by Google) If you're in Hatvan and have a spare hour and a half, it's definitely worth a look. The price is only 2,500.-/person, which can be considered very low compared to the level of the exhibition. Many trophies, weapons and all accessories and accessories related to fishing and hunting were exhibited. The building itself is remarkable. For children, interactive entertainment and educational tools are available. A beautiful and demanding exhibition, which is definitely recommended to see. (Original) Ha Hatvanban jár az ember és van egy másfél két órás szabadideje, akkor mindenképpen érdemes megnézni. Az ára mindösszesen 2500.-/fő ami a kiállitás szinvonalához mérten igen alacsonynak tekinthető. Rengeteg trófea, fegyver és minden olyan kellék és kiegészítő kiállításra került ami a halászattal, vadászattal összefüggésbe hozható. Maga az épület is figyelemre méltó. A gyerekek számára, interaktív szórakoztató és oktató eszközök állnak rendelkezésre. Szép és igényes kiállítás, amit mindenképpen ajánlott megnézni.

(Translated by Google) A brutal amount of antlers and stuffed animals can be found from the basement to the upper floor, plus you can see the history of the castle in a small part. They tried to make it interactive for children, which is a very good idea, they liked it. The entrance fee is HUF 2,500, maybe it could be cheaper, but I still recommend it, because it is organized, beautiful and thematic. (Original) Brutális mennyisegű agancs, kitömött állat található a pincétől az emeletig, plusz a kastély történetét is meg lehet tekinteni egy kis részen. Igyekeztek interaktivvá tenni gyerekeknek, ami nagyon jó ötlet, tetszettek. A belépő 2500 Ft, talán lehetne olcsóbb, de ennek ellenére is ajánlom, mert rendezett, szép, tematikus.

(Translated by Google) Very nice hunting museum, many trophies of big game, but also other animals, even a few exotic ones. Interactive games for children enrich the exhibition. It is in beautiful premises with a dominant common room. The small Park was disappointing. Easily accessible, with a good location in the city center, without paying a parking fee (Original) Veľmi pekné múzeum poľovníctva, veľa trofeji vysokej zveri,ale aj iné zvieratá, dokonca zopár aj exotických. Interaktívne hry pre detí sú obohatením výstavy. Je v krásnych priestoroch s dominantnou spoločenskou miestnosťou. Sklamaním bol malý Park. Ľahko dostupné,s dobrou polohou v centre mesta,bez platenia parkovného

(Translated by Google) Guided by a sudden idea, I visited the museum and did not regret it. Already. you can see the beautiful, imposing building in the heart of the city from afar. A well-kept garden and a beautiful exhibition with modern equipment and a guide. It should not be missed for those who love nature. Perhaps a negative is that you have to buy the photo ticket separately, which, let's face it, I think is ridiculous in today's technical world. (Original) Hirtelen ötlettöl vezérelve látogattam meg a múzeumot és nem bántam meg. Már. messziöl látni a gyönyörű, impozáns épületet a város szívében. Szépen gondozott kert és gyönyörű tárlat, modern felszereléssel vezetéssel. Nem szabad kihagyni annak a ki szereti a természetet. Talán egy negatívum, hogy külön kell megvásárolni a fotójegyet, amit valljunk be a mai technikai világban nevetségesnek tartok.

We visited on a tour company visit from our river cruise. It was an enjoyable visit, but would have been better if we'd been able to leave when we wanted. I would recommend about 1-1/2 hours here if the show is included, and perhaps one more hour for the meal, which was substantial and quite good.

Visited as part of a Riviera river cruise . Shouldn't have bothered. Served a meal in a barracks-like dining hall by silent surly waitresses who couldn't have been less welcoming. Two underwhelming promotional videos, an exhibition of trophies and then a 30 minute horse show which was OK if you like watching animals being exploited for amusement.

The best horse ranch and equestrian show I have ever seen. The kids were also enchanted by the horses, and the whole atmosphere was so ideal, it was an absolutely brilliant experience! Oh, and the equestrian show was bilingual too.

Lazar'spark is a Hungarian equestrian park that offers a variety of activities for visitors, including horse riding shows. We have been invited by our Hungarian hosts and we were enjoying next to the horse show also the traditional Hungarian meal and the welcoming staff. The food was energy rich but nevertheless very tasteful and delicious. All was prepared in a buffet style so that one was able to taste all kind of different foods, like the cabbage role, Goulash,, etc Overall, Lazar park is a great place to spend an afternoon if you're looking for a unique Hungarian experience.

Fantastic food and drink. I was a little sceptical about visiting Lázár thinking I might find it boring. But it was a fantastic visit. The food & drink 🍸 were excellent. The carriage drive through the forest was great! to top that the horse show was super exciting! Believe me, I am not a horse person, but thoroughly enjoyed the visit. The Lázár brothers have created an exciting and enjoyable event.

We had a great day out to explore the grounds and watch the horse show at the famous Lázár Lovaspark. Guests were greeted with free drinks and Hungarian scones, and we were taken around on a horse cart at the , which was fun. Highly recommended touristic attraction, that is about an hour from Budapest.

Wonderful experience! As an avid equestrian it's always exciting to learn about different horse cultures. Hungary's "cowboy" culture is one of the oldest and most fascinating! The show was presented in Hungarian and German but they provided an interpreter to explain everything in English. Staff was so friendly and helpful and the facilities are spotless. Beautiful healthy horses too!

Nice program for the little ones. Walk around the lake, enjoy the autumn trees. Kids can feed the ducks (they have duck food ) Well equipped playground nearby. It must be even nicer in the summer when the bar and shops are open.

A great place to visit during the summer. There is affordable food and cold drinks available from the kiosks. It is best to arrive early so that you can get a good spot. One of my favorite areas to visit because there is a slide and the lake does not become deep immediately. There are changing rooms and restrooms. Cost to enter is about 4 USD per person and make sure to bring cash as the kiosks do not take card. So Pack your floaties and hit the water!

Very nice area. Nice lake. We love it.

A waiting line with more than 150 people. Only one cashier open. We went home cause waiting in sun was not really comfortable with 2 kids. We will try it again, hopefully then there is a better organisation at the cashier and not so much people We returned and it was great 👍 Best time to visit the lake is weekdays. All staff been hyper friendly and helpful Big Thanks for a great day

Very nice lake. It is very clear that Gyömrő has put a lot of effort to make the lake nice enough to attract tourists. The lake is nice. It has a rocky bottom, not muddy like Balaton. I Will be coming regularly.

Beautiful lake with good child attractions! Highly recommended.

Good installations for small children, godd food, prices are friendly. Good for every age to spend a nice day at a lake.

Visiting the Royal Palace of Gödöllő was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the elegance and historical charm of the palace grounds. The architecture is breathtaking, beautifully restored, and a true reflection of 18th-century grandeur. Inside, the rooms are rich with history—each one tells a story, especially the ones dedicated to Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi"). The exhibitions are well-curated and informative without being overwhelming. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in preserving the original furnishings and decor, which really transports you back in time. The gardens are just as impressive—perfect for a peaceful stroll or a photo opportunity. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the palace’s heritage. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking for a beautiful cultural experience outside of Budapest, this place is an absolute must-see. Highly recommend adding it to your itinerary!

A nice getaway place away from the city. Took about 1h15m of subway plus suburban railway to travel from Budapest to here. They offer crossword game sheet right after the entrance which is very practical to visit and learn. After the visit, we had a short walk in the Godollo town and found a rather cheap cafe

A beautiful castle with lots of character! The castle itself is stunning, filled with beautiful paintings, old photographs, memorabilia, and historical charm. However, I was a bit disappointed by the gardens. The grass and overall landscaping didn’t seem well maintained, which took away from the experience. We also found only one map, so we often weren’t sure where we were or what we were looking at. With some care and attention, the gardens have great potential, and if they were revamped, this place could truly be a hidden gem inside and out.

A beautiful Palace to visit. Nice to walk around the gardens. All facts and information are in multiple languages. There is a cafe and two small gift shops.

Gödöllő Palace is nothing special. You'll find a bit of history there, a few pieces of Queen Sisi's furniture, some clothes, and paintings. If you're passing by, it's worth a quick stop, but I definitely wouldn't make a special trip just for it.

The start of the tour was not so great but that was because they were the older rooms. The second half was beautiful.

Beautiful Baroque style palace. Very well conserved, wonderful furniture and art pieces. Learn about Sisi, when why the Hungarians love her so much

Cool zoo to see. Went an hour before close and enjoyed experiencing the zoo without crowds. Really enjoyed seeing the bears, lions, and wolves.

We had a great time with the kids, checked out th bears, wolves and all the sheeps, deers and muflons. Spent almost the whole day there, there is a brilliant playground and a train which goes to a mining tunnel. Really fun and it's great to see that bears will get healthy snacks now instead of the constant honey -sbacking,as it was about 10 years ago. I enjoyed an excellent tour at 11am but there were various public feedings, informative and interesting.

Cool place lots of cute and funny animals. Bears , lions, wolfs, rabbits and even some birds. The place is pretty big but you can still see everything in about an hour and a half

Nice zoo . Large selection of animals. Very recommended for children and adults.

I received what I paid for. Nice place to relax and to be with animals and nature. Feeding animals is also a possibility.

Loved bears and their space. Amazing views. However lions and some wolves (not all), lamas, other animals - very little of space. Not like safari park that I hoped for. Some wolves had their ears torn with flies flying around. Sad life for these animals :( I believe they should give other animals to other zoos and leave only bears who are loving here I believe. Five stars only because bears have a lot of space.

It was the biggest dissapointment of the whole trip PLEASE for all of you who use get your guide DONT fall for this scam where they ask €76, me and my dad got there and back for €44 (this was including a €16 fine because the person who sold us the train tickets didn't speak a single, and I mean not a single word English, and forgot to tell us it was a one way ticket 🙃) if it wasn't for the fine, we got there, got tickets, a couple souvenirs and back for 25 euros!!! Be warned please! The entry was 10 euros per person which is a little much if u see what u get for the price. The bear enclose was really big I must admit that was really good to see! They didn't look that well taken care of tho.. could be due to old age I'm not sure.. When we got there, it was a bit cloudy, we were literally the only two people in the park. I'm not even joking... it was almost an urbexing experience if it wasn't for the occasional animal in the enclosure (which sometimes were hard to spot at all, some were the only one in the enclosure all by themselves 😔) The wolves all had infected and fly ridden ears and most animals looked stressed and bored out of their minds with 0 enrichment. The only animals I kind of enjoyed watching were the raccoons, the one caretaker that was there was playing with them a little. We also bought some food for the deer to feed them but we didn't even find those. The park is really due for an upgrade as some benches were literally falling apart... And due to the combination of the gloomy weather, the half broken benches and the fact we were alone in the entire park made it feel almost like a scam as if we could get robbed by someone (it was located in the middle of nowhere)

Since our previous visit, the garden walk is not only more onderly, but also more useful, the names of the plants are signposted. Really useful, not just amazing. What hasn't changed for many years is the very small car park.

A great place to visit. Lots of plants, lots of flowers, lots of trees to walk among them. Greenhouses with exotic plants, there’s even a working watermill. You can have a picnic in front of the greenhouses or you can have a rest on one of the benches. But it’s rather crowded at the weekend.

Fantastic place. Very nicely done.

Amazing park! So calm and nice!

We have been visiting the garden several times over the the past 20 years, and it has always been an amazing experience. Today (May 9, 2025) there was no waiting whatsoever at the entrance gate, there were only a few visitors . It seems that the whole garden was recently renewed: the walkways, the greenhouses, even the watermill are in mint conditions. I would say: I visited a lot of botanical gardens on four continents, but this one is the nicest I have ever seen. Not to mention its historical heritage. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place of sheer beauty and tranquility.

We combined the visit with a day trip to Vác end of October. From Vác we took the bus - which has a stop right at the entrance. We didn’t get a guided tour, explored ourselves. - the botanic garden is large, worth to plan 2-3 hours depending on your desire. As for the way back, we took the bus directly to Budapest (check bus schedule in advance) At the time there were thematic installations spotted around which gave a special, local touch to it. The sea of Indian lotuses were really impressive. The lakes are also beautiful. The glass house was fine too. We missed a little bit the signages, name of trees, plants to be stated more clearly. Overall great time, highly recommended

Very close to Budapest by car. Parking is for free outside. If you like nature, science and would like peace, you can spend 4 hours easily or more here. There is no restaurant close, so if you aim for those 4 hours, perhaps is best if you take food with you. There are a couple of ingenious exhibitions, there are also 2 or 3 greenhouses, all of them interesting and magical. Very much worth a visit.

Stunning Church. Worth the trip to visit. Vac is also a hidden gem less than 30 mins from Budapest on a direst train.

The first cathedral of the city was built in the 11th century by King Géza I who was later buried there. This church stood on the area of the present day Géza király Square but it was burned down during the Mongolian invasion. Later a Renaissance basilica was built here which was later destroyed by the Ottoman armies. After the expulsion of the Ottomans, the Saint Michael Church was used temporarily as a cathedral. Finally Bishop Károly Esterházy decided that instead of using the church that was in gradually worsening condition, a new cathedral should be constructed. He commissioned the Austrian architect Franz Anton Pilgram to design a new building. Pilgram planned a richly decorated church that would have been a smaller version of the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The church would have been connected to the Bishop's Palace with a colonnade. However Bishop Esterházy was relocated to the Archdiocese in Eger and Prince Archbishop Christoph Anton Migazzi was made an administrator of the Bishopric of Vác. The new bishop found the plans too expensive so he asked another architect, the French Isidor Canavele, who was living in Vienna at the time, to design a new cathedral which became the present day late Baroque building. The construction began in 1761 and the dedication took place in 1772 though the interior was only finished in 1777. The cathedral is monumental in its dimensions: its exterior length is 72 meters, interior length is 60 meters and height is 55 meters. It is the third largest cathedral in Hungary open to the public after the Esztergom and the Eger Cathedrals. The cathedral has been dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin and St. Michael the Archangel. Between the two towers of the facade, there is a portico with Corinthian columns. Above the entablature, there are statues carved by a local sculptor, József Bechert: Peter, Paul, Virgin Mary, Joseph, John and Jacob. On the walls of the hall, there are stucco reliefs depicting biblical scenes and the coat of arms of Migazzi. The interior of the single nave church is in late Baroque style. The frescoes of the main altar and the dome were painted by one of the most significant Austrian painters of the 18th century, Franz Anton Maulbertsch. The main altarpiece depicts the visit of Virgin Mary at Saint Elisabeth, and the fresco of the dome depicts the residents of heaven, among them Hungarian saints. Two years after it has been finished, Migazzi ordered the panel of the main altar to be covered with a canvas painting depicting the crucifixion by Johann Martin Schmidt. The fresco was only freed and restored 170 years later in 1944. The main altar is separated from the nave by a Renaissance which remained from the earlier basilica. The pillars holding the dome are carved with portraits of bishops Pál Forgách, Károly Althan, Frigyes Althan and Christoph Anton Migazzi. The altarpieces in the transept are copies of painting in Italian churches, the altarpieces of the two side altars were painted by Johann Martin Schmidt. Up until the 1940's, besides the two Maulbertsch frescoes, there were no other paintings on the walls of the church. However, in this decade the frescoes of István Takács were painted on the four gigantic walls of the transept and the semi dome was decorated with a wall painting of Béla Kontuly. There are regular services held in the Cathedral and it is a popular site for weddings and baptisms. During celebrations, it is the home of concerts which make good use of its fine acoustics.

Looks impressive from the outside, however you cannot enter this building; it is unfortunately closed for a major renovation.

Amazing cathedral in baroque style. Building started in 1699, but finished about 50 years later. Frescos inside by a renown Austrian painter of the time. The large square in front and the South-Western aspect allows for nice pictures to be taken. Vac in general is well worth a daytrip for the baroque old town and the Danube walk. Many nice cafes, bars and restaurants are available. Parking by car is for a small charge in the centre.

Huge building, and the platz in front is great for people watching. Lovely painted ceiling.

Vác one of Hungary's oldest cities and this church dominated the center square.

Great View of Vác from the high observation deck, truly incredible.

Well the hero's square or the millenium place is definitely a. Must visit place in Budapest .it carries a lot of history of the past and it also beautiful and easily reachable by bus, metro , taxi and all .

Enormous square filled with monuments and surrounded by beautiful buildings. It’s insane to think that this was hidden and covered by the communist leaders in the 50s, that kind of cultural erasure is really one of the strangest elements of the communist and fascist movements in the 20th century. Behind the square, there is a park with an amazing old castle on a lake that you should visit if you are in the area.

A must-see in Budapest for its grandeur, historical significance, and central location. Heroes' Square is one of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks, and visiting it is like stepping into a grand open-air history book. Located at the end of Andrássy Avenue, this expansive plaza is dominated by the Millennium Monument, a towering column topped with Archangel Gabriel, surrounded by statues of Hungary’s most revered national leaders and historical figures. The square is both visually impressive and historically rich. The symmetry and scale of the monument are breathtaking, especially when viewed against the backdrop of the Museum of Fine Arts and the Kunsthalle (Hall of Art), which flank the square. The site commemorates the thousandth anniversary of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin, and each statue tells a story of Hungary’s complex and proud past. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply enjoy grand architecture, Heroes' Square offers a powerful experience. It’s especially beautiful at sunset, when the golden light casts dramatic shadows across the statues. The square is also a gateway to City Park (Városliget), making it a perfect starting point for a day of exploration. Tips for Visitors: Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds and get the best lighting for photos. Combine your visit with a walk through City Park or a trip to nearby Széchenyi Thermal Bath. Don’t miss the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, if it’s happening during your visit.

Heroes’ Square in Budapest is a grand and impressive place to visit. The tall statues of famous Hungarian leaders make it feel important and full of history. The wide open space gives it a special atmosphere, perfect for taking photos or learning about Hungary’s past. It’s both educational and beautiful.

A nice square with plenty of open space and a great atmosphere with nice monuments. Well worth a visit ideal for taking photos. I would highly recommend a visit if In the area

Heroes’ Square is one of the city’s most iconic spots. With its impressive statues and the Millennium Memorial, it honors the leaders who shaped Hungary’s history. The square is spacious and beautiful, perfect for photos, and gives a strong sense of historical significance. Definitely worth visiting to learn more about the country’s past and enjoy the surrounding architecture.

It’s impressive for a moment, but ultimately just a vast, exposed slab of concrete that gets boring after five minutes. There is no shade and nowhere to sit, so it feels more like a transit zone than a real destination. The only reason to linger is to visit the Museum of Fine Arts right next door, where the actual culture is (as seen in my photos), or to walk through to the City Park. Don't make a special trip just for the plaza; treat it as a quick gateway to the better spots nearby.

Definitely not worth the price. I highly recommend not going. There is almost no English description at any exhibition in such a touristic museum, which is quite embarrassing. Without buying the audio guide, you won’t understand anything at all.

Luckily we were there on 23 October National Day so it was a free admission day, otherwise I don’t feel want to pay 10 💶for this😂 It was a loooooong line outside we waited like more than 1 hour. It was super full in the museum all rooms are packed with students and tourists. All displays are not in English so it’s hard to follow.

This museum is very interesting and deals with the post WWII Hungary till the fall of the iron curtain. I highly recommend the audio headsets. Each room has a separate audio explanation. It will only move forward till you move to the next roo.. another plus is bathroo s on each floor.

It was fascinating to learn about the history of the Nazis and communists in Hungary. It must have been an incredibly tense time—no one could’ve felt safe when stepping out of line meant being reported to the authorities. Pretty chilling stuff. Spread across several floors, the exhibit walked through each era, showing how everything unfolded and evolved.

Great history museum. The audioguide is a 10 out of 10. To improve, it made me uncomfortable to see some of the staff standing for hours, at the outside and inside entrances. They should do short one hour turns in those hard positions. But great museum.

It was interesting! It show how the Hungarian people were brutalised both by the Nazi's and by the Russians. They have an audio device with headphones. In some rooms the background noise diminished the sound coming from the audio. I was surprised that l spent 2 hours 15 minutes in the house of terror. The lesson the Nazi's are gone, but the Russians are here. Don't trust them.

This is a sad museum, but the exhibits are of the highest quality. Film reminiscences by survivors are abundant, ubiquitous, and moving. Covers Nazi and Communist atrocities, w more emphasis on the latter. Unless you read Rick Steve's tour before you go, you might find the audio guide helpful. The time you spend here will depend upon how many film clips you watch, but allow a couple of hours to absorb the main points. It doesn't seem like Fidesz has imposed any propaganda -- let's hope they don't.

It is the largest indoor market in Budapest, located at one end of the famous Váci utca. It is located in a building whose facade is built in a neo-Gothic style, very pleasing to the eye and in harmony with the architecture of the neighboring buildings. Inside, on the ground floor you will find many shops with local cold cuts, dairy, wines and other products. In the basement is the fish market. You can reach the upper level by several stairs but also by an escalator, located in close proximity of the main entrance. Access to the shops on the first floor is along corridors that look like balconies. Here are numerous gift/souvenir shops but also the Fakánal Etterem restaurant, which, if you want to taste the flavors of traditional Hungarian food, you must definitely make a stop. We did and we did not regret it. At lunchtime, when we arrived, we had to be a little patient to get to the desired menu, but it was worth it. I treated myself with a goulash soup and a portion of stuffed cabbage rolls. Everything was very tasty. I consider this place to be recommended to visit.

It’s a nice market full of both dry goods and groceries. A lot of fresh meat products and vegetables could be found here and with good quality. On the second floor, there’s a selection of souvenirs, as well as some food stalls selling local food.

The Great Market Hall (Nagyvásárcsarnok) is one of Budapest’s true gems—an impressive blend of history, culture, and vibrant daily life. From the moment you step inside, the soaring iron-and-glass architecture sets the tone, creating an atmosphere that feels both grand and authentically local. The ground floor is packed with fresh produce, meats, bakery items, and spices. The paprika displays alone are worth the visit, offering every variety you can imagine. Vendors are friendly and used to visitors, but the hall still feels like a working market rather than a tourist trap. Upstairs, you’ll find a lively collection of food stalls and traditional Hungarian dishes. It’s a fantastic place to try lángos, goulash, stuffed cabbage, or pastries at very reasonable prices. There are also plenty of souvenir stands if you’re looking for gifts like embroidered linens, wooden crafts, or local snacks. What makes the Great Market Hall special is its balance: you get a genuine snapshot of Hungarian everyday life while still having easy access to delicious food and great shopping. It can get busy, especially midday, but the energy is part of the charm. Overall, the Great Market Hall is a must-visit in Budapest—whether you’re there to eat, shop, or just soak in the atmosphere of one of the city’s most iconic buildings. This place is also next to lots of public transportation.

The Central Market Hall in Budapest is a wonderful place to explore if you want to experience local Hungarian culture in one spot. The market is housed inside a beautiful, well-organised historic building that feels lively but not chaotic. Everything is neatly arranged, and it’s easy to navigate through the different sections. You can find plenty of authentic Hungarian products here — from fresh local vegetables and spices to handmade crafts and souvenirs. There are also food stalls offering traditional dishes, so you can enjoy a snack or meal right inside the market while soaking in the atmosphere. The vendors are friendly and take pride in their products, making the experience feel genuine rather than touristy. There’s a good mix of local shoppers and visitors, which adds to its charm. The market also has clean, paid toilet facilities, which is convenient if you plan to spend more time browsing. Whether you’re looking for paprika, embroidered linens, or just a good place to people-watch, the Central Market Hall offers it all. It’s an enjoyable and colourful stop that captures the real spirit of Budapest in a single building.

Lots of fresh food of all varieties, including meat, vegetables and baked goods. Paprika of every flavor and size. Goodies to eat and souvenirs for the trip home. It can be very crowded so have some patience. Many of the vendors are closed on Sunday, especially the fresh food vendors.

We went on a Sunday afternoon, therefore many vendors were closed. However, the building was still great to see and walk around. We did get food from the only vendor that was open serving hot food. We tried the Goulash and a variation on open sandwich with traditional sausages, cheese, roasted onions in a yummy bread.

One of my favourite spots in town! If you visit Budapest you shouldn't miss this one! It has many sweet and savory traditional products to try! On the upper level they also have a big variety of souvenirs and restaurants.

The Hungarian State Opera House is located on the famous Andrássy Avenue in the center of Budapest. Its building is massive and magnificent, in neo-Renaissance style. From the information I obtained from the internet, it was built in 1884 and has the status of a World Heritage Site. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to visit it inside, I hope I have the chance to do it next time.

This one may be smaller than the Vienna State opera House, but it may be more beautiful. Just amazing architecture and breathtaking beauty every direction you look. Take the tour, it is with the money.

What can I say about the Opera other than it's a true sparkling gem! The tour was worth every penny as it was detailed and fun. I loved the 4 arias that were part of the tour and the very informative and polite guide we had. I totally recommend booking early to be able to visit it. I wish I had time to attend an opera or a play, but I will try to have it on my next visit.

Amazing place. Magnificent both inside and outside. Really liked sound here. Enjoyed the best opera in my life. Unfortunately that was terribly hot on the top balconies, but that’s what you have to face while visiting such a historic place. I wish the prices in the bar where lower, but nobody forbids you bringing your own water.

We visited Symphony no. 8 and it was great, so many talented people in one show!!! The Opera itself also worth visiting, looks gorgeous and so royal, not like Vienna’s Opera. This one looks very well maintained and renovated, every sitting place is equipped with subtitles monitor. We had a great evening as family at this place.

Gorgeous & a must-visit for tourists. Check for timing on English tours & buy tickets in advance. Our tour was fantastically informative & the photo-ops were breathtaking. Best of all - our tour concluded with a LIVE OPERA PERFORMANCE on the grand staircase by a duo of artists from the opera company!!! FANTASTIC!!!

I visited for a guided tour and this place is stunning! The guides were great and the mini performance at the end was outstanding. There are no toilets available for use before the tour so you have to wait until after.

Richly decorated art nouveau style basilica, full of history and relics. The mosaics are impressive, the style is magnificent and sculptures are masterful. There is so much to see here. Tip: buy your tickets online at least a couple of days in advance. They don't sell tickets at the entrance and there is often none available even online

What a beautiful church. The details are incredible. We went to a concert tonight - the music was beautiful. Definitely recommend! Also, go to the Panoramic viewpoint. You can take the elevator up partway, but you still need to climb several floors of stairs- but it was so cool to see the cement structure of the dome!

Absolutely breathtaking! Visiting St. Stephen’s Basilica was an unforgettable experience. The interior left me amazed, the details, artwork, and overall grandeur are simply stunning. It’s truly one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I’ve ever seen, and I’d say it’s a must-visit in Budapest. We bought tickets for the church only, and even that was more than worth it. The craftsmanship inside is so intricate that you can spend a long time just admiring the details. The Basilica is also home to Hungary’s most sacred relic, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen, the first King of Hungary, which is displayed in the chapel. For those interested, there’s also an option to visit the dome, which offers a panoramic view of Budapest — I didn’t do it this time, but I’ve heard it’s well worth it. Tickets are reasonably priced, and it’s a good idea to check the opening hours as the Basilica also hosts concerts and services. Highly recommend adding this to your Budapest itinerary — both for its beauty and its cultural significance.

This church is one of my mom’s favorites, and during our visit to Budapest it quickly became one of mine as well. It’s definitely a must-see. You do need a ticket to enter, but purchasing them online is simple, and entry times are clearly scheduled. The area outside can get quite busy, yet inside the basilica it feels calm and organized. The architecture is stunning, and after your visit there are plenty of dining options nearby.

Saint Stephen’s Basilica is A Must-See Masterpiece ⛪️ Wow…just wow. Saint Stephen’s Basilica is absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re religious or not, or even if you’re not the “church enthusiast” type, this is one spot in Budapest you have to see. To say the interior is stunning would be an understatement, it’s jaw-droppingly beautiful. (Check the pictures below, words barely do it justice.) The church is massive and has multiple parts to explore: the main hall, an elevator leading up to the terrace, and the treasury upstairs. Pro tip: go for the all-access ticket. It’s around €23 per person and 100% worth it. Sure, the main church alone is lovely if you’re in a rush, but the terrace and treasury really complete the experience. The terrace view of Budapest is absolutely gorgeous. Not to be biased, but it’s honestly better than the sky deck 😂 Plan for about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes to see everything at a relaxed pace. There are toilets upstairs too, which is another reason to grab that all-access pass (seriously, finding public bathrooms in Budapest can be an adventure on its own 💀). Overall…An incredible landmark, well worth the time and money. If you’re in Budapest, put this high on your list. It’s a true gem of the city.

Hello! The in-person ticket office is across the street (off ground), so be aware. The line to get tickets was not long at all. The basilica and panoramic view combination is the best value. There is a discount for seniors (65 years and older). The basilica is a wonder to see! There are many alcoves as well as central seating. Don’t forget to look up as the ceilings are also quite beautiful to see. The entrance for the panoramic view area is near the main entrance and you don’t have to exit the basilica to access. Your choice on walking up the 304 steps or taking a lift to get to the third floor. A second lift gets you up to the panoramic area - there is a limit to four persons per car on that second lift. On the way back down, visit the Treasury for a break in those 304 steps. Enjoy!

Make sure you get tickets not just to go inside but up to the top. You can take a lift pretty much all the way up there and there are toilets also. I’d suggest going at night get an amazing view of the city lit up.

This is really an impressive building and worth of sightseeing from inside as well. They have prepared the guides in many languages which is very good so people or not limited to english only. It woould be better that the tour was a bit longer and probably more detailed but overall it was fine. Thr big remark goes to the price for entrance which is huge!

The Hungarian Parliament Building at night is breathtaking. As darkness settles over Budapest, the entire Gothic Revival masterpiece glows with a golden light that reflects across the Danube, creating a mirror image so perfect it feels dreamlike. Seen from the Buda side, the building dominates the skyline, every spire and arch illuminated with precision. The reflection rippling in the river gives the scene a kind of quiet grandeur that photographs never quite capture. Up close on the Pest side, the building feels even more impressive. The sheer scale, the intricate carvings, and the warm glow of the stone make it clear why it’s one of Europe’s architectural treasures. At night, the Parliament isn’t just a government seat—it’s a symbol of the country’s history, pride, and resilience, standing tall against the dark sky. The best time to visit is after sunset, when the crowds thin and the city slows down. Walk along the Danube promenade, pause on the Chain Bridge, or simply sit by the water and watch the lights flicker. It’s one of those views that remind you why travel matters: moments of stillness and awe that stay with you long after you’ve left.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Europe and an absolute must-see in Budapest. The architecture is stunning from every angle — day or night — but seeing it lit up in the evening is truly magical. The area around the Parliament is clean, safe and perfect for walking. You can enjoy the riverside view, take amazing photos and really feel the history of the city. Even if you don’t go inside for a tour, the exterior alone is worth the visit. If you can, go both during the day and at night — completely different vibe and both unforgettable.

One of the most magnificent buildings in all of Europe, pure architectural poetry on the banks of the Danube. The neo-Gothic spires, symmetry, and sheer scale are jaw-dropping, especially when seen from across the river or from a Danube night cruise. Up close, the craftsmanship is even more intricate, statues, arches, and details that feel almost unreal. It’s stunning by day but beyond magical at night, when it glows gold against the dark river. Tip: Skip the guided tour if short on time - the real magic is outside, especially at sunset from the opposite bank or from Fisherman’s Bastion.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is one of the most stunning landmarks in Europe. Built in a Neo-Gothic style with pointed towers and intricate details, it dominates the Danube’s riverside skyline. Even if you don’t go inside (the interior visit is paid), it’s absolutely worth admiring from the outside. For the best view, head to the Buda side — the sight of the Parliament reflecting on the river is simply unforgettable.

One of the most stunning structures I've seen. Incredibly beautiful. From all sides. From any distance. Top 1 in Budapest. The photos look unreal, but they're real!) I highly recommend a tour inside. It lasts about an hour. Available in different languages. You definitely need to book in advance for a specific time, because the number of spots is limited. You might wait a couple of hours if you don't book. This is an active government building, so there are security measures - you need to arrive at least 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time. Of course there are items that are prohibited from bringing inside. Regarding the parliament inside. Very atmospheric. A completely different style than the exterior. In my opinion there's too much gold) but it's definitely worth it

I didn’t go inside, but even from the outside, the Hungarian Parliament left me speechless! The architecture is absolutely stunning — elegant, powerful, and perfectly reflected on the Danube River. I could’ve stood there for hours just admiring the view. Especially during sunset, it feels like a dream. One of the most beautiful landmarks in Budapest, no doubt! 💛

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is one of the most moving and powerful memorials I’ve ever visited. It’s simple in design yet incredibly emotional, rows of iron shoes along the river remind us of the tragic fate of the Jews who were executed here during World War II. Standing in that spot, looking at the shoes with the Danube flowing beside them, you really feel the weight of history and loss. It’s a place of silence and reflection, not just a tourist stop. A must-visit in Budapest if you want to understand the city’s history on a deeper level.

Nice sobering view. It's lovely to see people respectfully taking photos and then moving aside for others to visit/take pics. NOTE: It can be challenging to access via scooter, you're better off walking down to the foreshore after parking your bike/scooter further up (lesson learnt!) ACCESSIBILITY: It is wheelchair and pram accessible and there are large sandstone blocks that people can sit/rest on.

Very moving and picturesque memorial on the beautiful bank of the Danube. Easily accessible by public transportation and free. Great opportunity to hang out by the great river and appreciate the long and sometimes sad history of this wonderful city.

Pretty impressive monument, a must see when in Budapest. You would likeness it as an art piece but it is actually a moving historical artifacts.

The memorial for the Jews taken to this spot during the Nazi occupation and shot by the locals and thrown into the Danube river. Public space. Always reachable. Must visit to remember our duty as human beings: be tolerant and respect others.

Sombre experience at this free to visit installation of historical significance. You can simply take a stroll along the Danube soaking in the views until you come across it. There are places to sit there as well.

The walk from our river boat was about 30 minutes along the Danube River. The path was not smooth with rocky terrain and uneven stones as well as metal grating. It was sad to see all the different shoes from men, women and children. It's impactful.

Visiting the Chain Bridge in Budapest was an unforgettable experience. Walking across this iconic bridge offers incredible views of the Danube River and the city’s stunning architecture. The bridge itself is impressive, with its historic design and beautiful details that make it perfect for photos. It is especially magical at sunset when the lights start to illuminate the city. The area around the bridge is lively and easy to explore on foot, making it a great spot for a stroll and taking in the atmosphere of Budapest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

This wonderful bridge is definitely the most beautiful bridge of Budapest, symbol of the Hungary and an absolute must-see for any visitor. Connects Buda and Pest. From the bridge, you get perfect shots of the Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament, and the entire river panorama. The atmosphere after dark is magical

A special, impressive construction. It gives a special charm to the area and very interesting perspectives from both its ends but also along the pedestrian passage. Walking on the bridge allows you to capture some special images of Pest, Buda and the Danube.

The Chain Bridge in Budapest is truly one of the city’s most stunning landmarks! Walking across it during the day gives you a beautiful view of both Buda and Pest, but it’s at night when the bridge becomes absolutely magical. The whole structure glows with warm lights, reflecting beautifully on the Danube River and creating a breathtaking view of the illuminated Parliament and Buda Castle. The atmosphere feels peaceful yet full of life — perfect for an evening stroll or photos. Definitely one of the highlights of Budapest that shouldn’t be missed!

Beautiful bridge. Not much to say about it, it’s just great looking. Definitely worth a visit, I mean it’s in the centre and there are a lot of historic monuments nearby so yeah. Great bridge I guess.

I went here in October 2025. I really felt awesome looking it with the pink theme. Very nice and crowdy place. For a good feel and view should visit in the night time. This bridge is special because it connects all main locations.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is not just a bridge; it is the heart and soul of Budapest. Walking across this architectural masterpiece is an absolute must-do for any visitor. It perfectly connects the historic charm of Buda with the vibrant life of Pest, offering stunning views every step of the way.

Beautiful place with beautiful gardens. A must see.

beautiful castle, the short walk to it was definitely worth it and for lazier people it has an elevator

Amazing place to visit and to be there all the day and specially at night... A lot of impressive picture can be taken there for a very nice memory... I strongly recommend to visit this beautiful place.

It's really nice. There are photos going up the hill which show how Budapest has changed, grown and developed over the years.

Splendid architecture

(Translated by Google) It is a relatively high point, where you can see great scenery and take good photos, especially the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, the Hungarian Parliament Building, and the towering dome cross of St. Stephen's Basilica. Highly recommended to come up and take a look. On the hour, you can also see the handover ceremony of the Hungarian soldiers. (Original) 算是一個相對的制高點, 可以看到很棒的景觀, 也可以拍到很好的照片, 尤其能遠眺塞切尼鍊橋, 及匈牙利國會大廈, 也能看到高聳的聖什特萬聖殿的圓頂十字架. 非常推薦走上來一瞧. 整點還能看到匈牙利大兵的交接儀式.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, we could not visit all parts of the castle due to lack of time. Construction is also underway in many places. The museums are worth a visit. (Original) Sajnos minden részét nem tudtuk bejárni a várnak idő hiányában. Sok helyen építkezés is folyik. A múzeumokat érdemes meglátogatni.

Beautiful place up on the Buda side. The views are nice and it looks incredible when the lights go on at night. We did not go inside but admired the beautiful architecture from the outside. Definitely a must do when in town.

Fisherman’s Bastion is one of Budapest’s most enchanting landmarks. We visited during the day and returned at night, and both experiences were magical. By day, the Neo-Romanesque terraces frame sweeping views of the Danube and the Parliament building, perfect for photos. At night, the city lights transform the scene into something straight out of a storybook. The architecture is stunning: white stone towers, turrets, and archways that feel like a castle from a fantasy novel. It’s not just beautiful, it’s steeped in history, built to honor the guild of fishermen who defended this part of the city walls in the Middle Ages. The atmosphere is peaceful in the morning, with fewer crowds, and you can wander freely through the arches and balconies. At night, it’s more lively but still romantic, with illuminated spires and the Parliament glowing across the river. Tip: Go twice—daytime for clarity, nighttime for magic. Combine your visit with Matthias Church next door. Bring a camera; every angle is postcard-worthy. Arrive early for quiet moments and fewer tourists. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Fisherman’s Bastion is not just a viewpoint it’s an experience that captures the essence of Budapest’s beauty and history.

Simply gorgeous, I recommended walking there as well. The panoramic view. The place itself, especially at night is worth every step. It's really a nice experience to walk across the chain bridge to this castle.

Absolutely breathtaking views over the city. Also great to just walk around and see the old sites and fort and it can all be done for free too. You can also purchase tickets and pay extra to go inside the church and walk up the walls but we didn’t do this and it still sufficed

Amazing looking, the streets here look like a different world. The surrounding restaurants and stuff is a little bit more expensive than elsewhere so be prepared for that. You can see the whole of Budapest from here! No need to pay to go a level above on the lookout (it’s useless). Only thing sad is you have to pay to enter the church, but other than that it’s amazing.

The view is amazing! Can't say enough! Even on a cloudy day it was worth visiting. If you're visiting Budapest is truly a must. There are many steps but if you're going on Buda with a taxi you can ask the driver to drop you off at Matthias's church so no need to walk up all the stairs.

Fisherman’s Bastion is absolutely breathtaking! 🏰✨ The fairytale-style architecture, with its towers and arches, creates a magical atmosphere. The panoramic views over Budapest — especially of the Parliament and the Danube — are some of the best in the city. It’s a beautiful place to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. Truly a must-visit landmark! 🌟

For me, this church is the second must-see in Budapest. Incredibly beautiful on the outside and very atmospheric inside. I recommend buying a ticket in advance, as the queues for tickets on-site are quite long. I recommend getting the audio guide on your smartphone. The total tour time is 1-1.5 hours. Always crowded, but you can see everything between group tours.

We booked our tickets to visit The Church of Our Lady of Buda Castle (Matthias Church) online. The tickets are flexible with no fixed date, which is convenient. However, when we first went to visit, there was a wedding taking place, and the church was closed to visitors. We had to return the next day, so do keep that in mind if you’re buying tickets in advance — sometimes the church isn’t open to tourists due to private events. I’d highly recommend purchasing tickets online, as there’s usually quite a long queue at the counter. We also bought the audio guide along with our tickets, but the experience was a bit disappointing. It’s not a physical device — instead, it’s accessed through an online website by scanning a QR code and using a passcode provided by the staff. Since we didn’t have earphones with us, it wasn’t easy to listen. Also, the audio guide markers were difficult to match with the actual spots inside. Given the church’s rich historical significance, it would be great if they improved the audio guide experience to make it more engaging and user-friendly. The church itself is absolutely magnificent. The interiors are stunning — every wall is beautifully hand-painted, and the blue stained-glass windows are mesmerizing, each telling a unique story. There are side stairs that lead to the upper level, where you’ll find a area with different artifacts worth exploring. We visited about 1.3 hours before closing in the evening, and it was a wonderful experience — quiet, peaceful, and with very few people around. We spent around an hour inside, taking our time to admire the stunning interiors. Highly recommend visiting during that time if you prefer a calm atmosphere.

We went here as the final stop on a tour and they saved the best time last. The city has so many beautiful buildings and this is certainly one of them. There is a great deal of history here as well as the space. I am not a religious person and I've been to a lot of basilicas, cathedrals and churches since I began visiting Europe some twenty years ago. I've become far more particular about what I visit after having been to so many. This was certainly worth the visit.

One of the standout buildings in Budapest and a must see. Affordable entry to the castle, tickets can be bought a short walk from the main entrance. We visited when a choir was performing. You can also walk to the far side and head upstairs to get a better view of the main hall.

I visited Matthias Church in Budapest from the outside, and I was really impressed by its stunning architecture. I took some beautiful photos and loved the view. Definitely a must see even from the exterior .

Beautiful and historical church, every surface is highly decorated, there are relics, sculptures of saints and holy family and beautiful stained glass. Upstairs you can find historical furniture and close up views of the altar

Matthias Church is on the Buda hills, visible from Pest. Limestone walls have unique paintings. There’s even a tiny museum and a balcony overlooking the hall from above. Tower climb is 45 m, with a small exhibition along the way. Top offers a great panorama. Would be even better if open at night. Come early, buses bring in the tourists later.

There was everything fine and smooth. The weather was not ideal for racing but it ea okay for Fun. I didn't push to the limit, I doesn't feel the machine and court at all. More lights, Timer and effects (colours, hints, boards etc.) could be increase the joy and fun.

The track is short but enjoyable. Gokarts are petrol engine, so you can push.

Fun experience Managed very badly No one there speaks English, not organized, no safety regulations. Long wait between the rides without no one to explain or arrange the line of waiting costumers

The absolute Best one with very fast karts in the country Absolutely recommended

Fantastic track with English speaking staff who are accommodating and helpful

Brilliant day! Well worth every penny. Great group running it.

Unhelpful personal, bad cars, a mix of slow and fast cars in the same race so no fun to drive for fast drivers and dangerous for slow drivers.

Fantastic nature walk. Bring comfortable walking shoes and a map!

We went there as a group of friends. It was a lovely hike. There were a lot of ladders and places you had to climb through but it felt like a playground. It was so much fun we did not get tired at all! Suitable even for beginers like me. We went on a saturday so there was quite a group of people. If you can, definitely go there during week. Parking: there is a designated parking lot for tourists but the machine accepts only cash and coins in specific. You can NOT insert paper money into the machine and it does not accept credit card nor you can send a text to pay for the parking fee (only if you have a hungarian number). Don't worry, you can find places to park between the houses around. Just make sure you won't block any gate entrance. The restaurant near the parking lot is closed for good, but there are plenty more smaller pubs and restaurants on the way. There is also a free to use toilet near the parking lot.

I’d recommend to use waterproof and mud proof shoes. Bring lots of water, in one hike I finished 3L of water. Also bring food. There are fire places you can you if you would like to cook outside. The recommended age is from 10z Kids from 120 cm can do the hike as they can hold the bar handles and can garb onto the handles, ladders. My 7y old sister managed to do the hike as she could reach the handles. It may be closed after heavy rain. Check before heading out.

Loved it. Great hike.

We started from [P] Dömös parkoló, taking the green route up through the Ram Szakadek and yellow down (Lukacs Akro). Great intermediate hike, not too crowded this time of year (end of September). It took us a bit less than 3 hours, while taking a short 15 minute break halfway. Good hiking shoes are definetely a plus, as it can be slippery and steep at times. I for sure recommend taking this hike!

One hell of a hike but really enjoyed the beautiful landscape and views. So much to see and take in, Hungary has so many beautiful places to visit and go for a good day out.

moderate trails good for beginners and hikers want to just relax

Excellent day out opportunity with heritage village wandering, traditional local dumpling (dödölle), short walk with kids to see the bison and Przewalski's horse.

The best way to appreciate this lovely area is on foot or, like I did, by bicycle. Pretty villages, glorious vistas and abundant nature make this a relaxing and rewarding place to visit. The roads are largely free of heavy traffic though the signposting for the Orseg 2 bike trail which I tried to follow was rather erratic. I somehow ended up on the busy Route 86 which is on the east side of the area and it was not pleasant!

Lots to see and do. Walking trails and visitor attractions. Mostly nature and historical culture focused.

Beautiful nature and environment. Among the best places of Hungary to relax.

Great MTB (cycling) experience with well marked route and scenic rides. Recommended!

Exhibit was closed due to heavy rainfall in the previous weeks. Goats are nonetheless cute.

Another world in Hungary! Great green forests, wild animals and lovely peoples.

Amazing experience! The lady that welcomed us was extremely friendly and she talked and explained about the wine process they do. We tried 6 different sorts of wine and each was better than the last one.. the place on its own is breathtaking and a great relaxation place - a sight for sore eyes! Thank you for having us! 🍷 ❤

A beautiful winery with the loveliest lady hosting all the delicious tastings! The wine tasting itself is unhurried, with the history and description carefully explained. The most lovely and refreshing afternoon filled with delightful tasting white wines and the best apple chips we’ve ever tasted!
