Quite scenic walled fort in the center of the town. Some of the buildings inside have been renovated and repurposed though. Unfortunately not too taken care of at the moment, and could be renovated - good to visit and see the imposing walls as a stop if driving through the area. No tickefs needed you can just walk in as it is living part of town.

The building is nice and that's it. This is the town's landmark, and it's got no touristic value. No information, no schedule for visiting, nothing.

The citadel is a reformat church! It is in a great shape refurbished by EU founds. Unfortunately, you can not visit it the popes house in the rest of the rooms, the central part is the main church. It is impressive from outside. Enjoy!

Drove here to see it, and it is closed. Great disappointment.

The building looks nice but other then that nothing. We could get inside no info about how we could get inside or when.

Centrally located in the beautiful town of aiud, the citadel looks impressive on the outside but it was closed on Saturday

Aiud Citadel (Cetatea Aiudului in Romanian) is located in the center of Aiud, and was built during medieval times (14th century), comprising many buildings. It is the main tourist attraction of Aiud. The citadel is fairly small, with a perimeter of 350 metres, and it is in the form of an irregular pentagon. The earliest documented evidence of the citadel extant today dates from 7 November 1293, a privilege issued by King Ladislaus IV - King of Hungary (1272–1290), but local tradition holds that the first stone watch tower was finished during the Mongol invasion of Europe in 1241. Other important events for the citadel: the serfs uprisings from 1437; the conquest of Michael the Brave; the Habsburg attack in 1704 and 1717; the Christian uprising - Religious war in 1758 - 1761; the peasant movement from 1784 and the Revolutionary wave of 1848 - 1849.

Beautiful place and well designed / renovated to be for everyone. You can take a stroll and admire the view, you can eat, drink, sit and even bike around. Very clean and maintained, beautiful flowers everywhere. This is one of the most beautiful places we visited in this part of Romania. We were lucky and stumbled upon an reenactment event with lots of romans and dacians and even barbarians.

Beautiful and walkable citadel. The best in Romania. Not only can you see the inside, you can also walk the perimeter which has restaurants, parks all on a nicely built path. So much to see and so much walking to do! This place also has an incredible amount of history and you're able to enter the halls and churches inside. Has some old Roman ruins as well. Overall, a must visit.

Alba Carolina Citadel is an incredible place huge, beautiful, and steeped in history. Its massive walls, impressive gates, and stunning architecture make it a joy to explore. The citadel is full of fascinating secrets, with hidden rooms and catacombs that spark the imagination and make you feel like a real explorer. Walking through its passages is both exciting and aweinspiring, offering a perfect mix of history, mystery, and beauty.

✅ The Alba Carolina Citadel is a stunning star-shaped fortress located in Alba Iulia, Romania, and it’s one of the most impressive Vauban-style fortifications in Eastern Europe 🌟. Built between 1715 and 1738 during the Habsburg rule, it was designed by Italian architect Giovanni Morando Visconti and later completed by other engineers. 🏰 Highlights of the Citadel - Seven Bastions: Each named after saints or historical figures, forming the iconic star shape. The citadel features seven gates, aligned along an east-west axis known as the Tourist Route of the Citadel. Inside, you’ll find the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Michael, the Coronation Cathedral, museums, gardens, and monuments like the equestrian statue of Michael the Brave. 🎟️Free Access: Open day and night for walks, with museums and cafes operating on their own schedules. I highly recommend it to visit once in your life! 🔝 Visited September 2025

Beautiful citadel, we needed 2 hours to look around, we especially loved the themed gardens.

Great place to visit, you can spend good part of the day exploring all attractions and museums.

Really amazing place. We went to Alba Julia with fear not to be disappointed. Well, we were amazed by the town. It is a place noone must miss

Full of history, beautiful place, lots to do and places to eat.

This is an Orthodox cathedral that was initially built in 1922 and was the place where the coronation procession of King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie took place. It has a pleasant Romanian architecture and it can be visited throughout the year, outside of mass house. There's an inner courtyard and a separate bell tower. There's no visitation fee and you can take photos inside as well.

Excellent example of Romanian architecture that blends really well within the citadel and with the neighboring buildings It's really well maintained like the whole citadel Of crucial importance to the Romanian nation it's still a vibrant place where people from across the country gather at important holidays to celebrate

A wonderful historical place that is worth visiting if you are nearby.

The Tudor Andrei Borta Voevod Bridge, designed by engineer Borta Tudor Andrei, for the grand union on December 1, 2018. - "Suspended bridge over walls - access"

The Cathedral of the Coronation in Alba Iulia, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was built with the support of the Royal House of Romania, according to the plans of the architect Victor Ştefănescu, which was finalized in September 1922, in memory of the first Romanian envoys and patron of the event King Ferdinand. in the courtyard of this church took place on October 15, 1922 the crowning ceremony of King Ferdinand and the Queen Maria as sovereigns of Great Romania

Orthodox cathedral in the historical centre of Alba Julia offers a very interesting wire onto a well kept garden and architecture, where the outside arched walls, a bit Roman Villa alike, keep at its center safe the cathedral building. The entrance itself is a masterpiece.

The guides are very knowledgeable and there are many. The remains are amazing and it's so important to know the history on site. Plus it was a sacred place so it's interesting to be around and feel the nature, as it's so isolated from the cities

Unique and special ruins in the mountains at a height of more than 1000 m. They look different from all other ruins and almost 2000 years old.

This place is filled with positive energy. People working there look so positive and are very friendly. This place has my heart. The calmness there is inexpressible.

Very interesting. If you are a history buff, you have to go here. I wish we had more time to make stops along the way

Very beautiful place with an amazing energy. It was a rainy day for us, so the place was not crowded; even with the rain, we could enjoy the sights and walk around admiring the nature.

Wonderful place! The site is about 1 kilometer away from the parking spot. The entrance fee is also cheap. A must see if you’re in Hunedoara county.

Sarmizegetusa Regia is a place full of spiritual charge and a wonderful place to visit. Free parking nearby.

Amazing place and experience, it's really well kept and you don't really need hiking equipment to go up there. A big plus is the entrance fee is really cheap. They have an on-site spring with drinkable water near the ruins and toilets near the entrance. We visited this place on a public holiday (1st of June) and there were plenty of parking spaces available. Be careful when driving up there, the road is narrow and some people forget that. Drive safe! A must go to location whenever you are in Hunedoara county. Will definetly visit again.

I've been here 5 times and I'd go every year, if possible. It is my place of peace, of a very positive energy that I can only link to Mother Nature and its supreme beauty. Go, without a care in the world, you will like it here!

Unfortunately the water is very less almost invisible in the pictures. I think because it didnt rain for long time. Anyway, the area is beautiful surrounded by mountain view. A bit dfficult to arrive until top. Crowded always

Nice waterfall, not so great but beautiful. A lot of parking spots for 5 lei. Easy access by foot, only 5 minutes of walking from parking.

It is an easy walk to the waterfall but is not suitable for olderly people because if you want to get closer you have to climb a bit.

A very unique waterfall. It is not huge but it offers a lovely view. You can walk a bit and you will see it from the top too. You don’t need hiking shoes. The downside of this is that there is no parking so be prepared to park on the edge of the road but the waterfall is very near so that is and advantage if you have kids or you can’t walk long distances. It is worth admiring the view from the top and in autumn the colours are amazing.

Beautiful waterfall close to the road.

Natural beauty and spring water in the amazing Pisoaia Fall !

Beautiful place, away from the every day madness

Bring your walking shoes as there’s plenty to be done here. The cable car was not working but you can drive most of the way (keep an eye out for the small signs). Prepare yourself for 200+ stairs. Well worth the visit as there are some fantastic look out points. Would have been great to learn some history of the fortress. Perhaps some QR codes of plaques with information. It’s clearly had a bit of a refurbishment, but some more information for tourists would have earned that extra star.

The castle is in a nice condition, but room and glass building are completely empty, nothing to see. Actually if you go up with the elevator, not so much things to see, option to do. Elevator works till 5pm which is to short opening hours, a lot of people arrived just before 5pm, we had to go back on the next day.

A great place to visit if you're nearby. The stairs are very steep, but you can walk around them on a regular path. The views from the top are great, but there aren't enough descriptions of the place.

Many stairs to conquer, but definitely worth it. The view is nice, especially at night. The renovation in the past years paid off.

It might be beautiful up there but we were unable to reach up due to the telegondola technical issues. The children are too small to climb up. The page is not updated with when it working or if is not working the telegondola. We travelled 4 hours to go up and we went back disappointed. I gave 2 stars for the lady from the informations which was very nice and because the toilets were really clean.

The actual fortress is great with gorgeous views. Getting to it, it's a different story, the funicular was not working, the streets to get up there are very narrow and difficult to navigate, coming down the same thing. I could have skipped it.

Wow! The Acropolis of Deva! Perched up on a volcanic hill towering over the city! It was majestic and thoroughly worth the short walk in the intense heat, after the shuttle bus ride up most of the way. The views are breathtaking! A highlight of my trip to Romania.

Incredible experience. Also great on Halloween, as it's very spooky and theme decorated. The torture chambers were also spooky, and I do not recommend entering with a child that's not above 12+. It's very spaceful and wasn't that busy! One of the best castles I've been too and definitely recommend visiting it!

The castle is impressive from the outside but inside there are predominantly empty rooms. However, it's fun too walk through corridors, stairs and passages. There is an amazing view from one of the towers. The nearest parking is 20 lei per day.

We did a daytrip to Hunedoara from Sibiu. Initially I planned to visit it on our way to Timisoara, but it would fall on a Monday, and on Mondays the castle opens at noon which would affect our plans for the day. Street parking around the castle is tight as they closed the parking lot for some reason. Admission is heavy by Romanian standards at 50 lei (25 lei for seniors) but it's worth it. The castle is very well kept and the interior looks pretty modern in spots but the castle is large and impressive. I'm no fan of medieval castles but this one is a must.

The castle was very impressive and beautiful. There was plenty to see and do there as a castle/medieval period enthusiast. The price of entry was reasonable 50lei/adult. Only few downsides were that the castle was under renovation (it's understandable) and that guidance in the castle was confusing. The rooms had numbers but they were all mixed up.

I had the great pleasure of visiting Hunedoara Castle, also known as Corvin Castle. This magnificent fortress, located in Transylvania, was originally built in the 15th century by John Hunyadi, one of Hungary’s most powerful noblemen and military leaders. The castle served both as a stronghold and a noble residence, and over the centuries it has witnessed many historical events, legends, and even dark tales that add to its mysterious charm. It is an amazing place that truly allows you to feel the atmosphere of real medieval times, with its massive towers, stone courtyards, and slightly dark interiors that whisper stories from the past. There aren’t many tourists, the parking area is close to the castle, and overall it’s not an expensive trip. The panoramic view from the castle walls is breathtaking! Definitely, this place is worth visiting — go there and step back in time! It's worth to arrive at place to see the castle during day and night - two different stories & effect! WOW....gothic style is really DARK at night! Some tailes connected: There is a rumor that Dracula - Vlad III (Vlad the Impaler), the ruler of Wallachia, was imprisoned here for seven years. See added pictures - as you can see the tradition of impaing still "lives". Corvin Castle could have been the model (or at least one of the models) for the fictional “Castle Dracula” because of its dramatic Gothic-look and its connection to Vlad. The Legend of Hunedoara Castle Just after building the castle, its lord-builder, John Hunyadi, ordered a great well to be dug in the courtyard. He promised freedom to the Turkish prisoners who could find water in the rocky ground. For years, they worked day and night, carving through stone with hope and desperation. After fifteen long years, water finally sprang from the earth. But instead of granting them freedom, Hunyadi broke his promise. Before the prisoners were executed, one of them carved an inscription on the well’s wall: “You have water, but no soul.” - see one of the pic. (in arab). To this day, the well still stands in the castle yard — and some say that at night, if you listen closely, you can hear the echo of the prisoners’ voices rising from its depths.

Among the few castles in Romania, it is in the process of renovation. Over the years, different parts of the castle have been opened for visits and you can climb in all the towers. The steps of the stairs are high and not easy to climb if you are not trained. Unfortunately, the landscape around the castle is not special, the castle being in an old communist industrial area. You can also visit recreated torture chambers.

We didn’t get inside the castle, it was too expensive (50 Lei per person). The castle is beautiful. They started to refurbish the castle so some of it covered at this time. There are few souvenirs stores on the way to castle and we loved them - lots of beautiful souvenirs, very nice. A parking near by (can’t remember the price, around 20 Lei). Toilets at the parking for 3 Lei.

Beautiful and amazing Romania -Apuseni Mountains !

The best place to hike; you can find trails from easy to heavy, sometimes really difficult to decide, which one do you want to choose. Forests, creeks, rocks and caves, these are all there. You may find some via ferratas as well. Find a cabin to rent, you'll love the atmosphere of this peaceful place.

Hidden deep within Transylvania, Apuseni Natural Park feels like a place time forgot. The trails weave through mossy forests and limestone caves that seem to hum quietly with age. I wasn’t expecting such calm — even the air feels different, crisp and slightly sweet. Locals are kind without being intrusive, and every viewpoint looks like it was arranged by nature itself. It’s not loud beauty, but steady, grounding magic.

It's a lovely place all year round, either for skiing in the cold months, take a hike on its vast number of scenic trails through forests, mountains or canyons or do all kind of crazy extreme stuff you can think about , from exploring new caves to rock climbing and so on, it offers you all for a reasonable price, but there's a but, some trails are unmarked / poorly marked /marks destroyed so having a map and a compass or phone with gps is a must, ski slopes are rather basic, accommodation and free time / shopping options are limited/ basic or terrible, not to mention access roads, still, nature is nature and is beautiful no matter what

We were there early June. Everything was stunning green. Really enjoyed the place. The tourist routes are marked quite OK. Signs are also there in the bigger intersections. Make sure the plan your route before start since there are no overview maps on the routes.

Really beautiful place in any time of the year is nice to visit. In summer take care because its most likely to (light) rain 70-90% of the time, but even like that it is enjoyable 😇 just have a raincoat

Big Natural Area with wild wood. One of the nice things in romania is the wild nature. If you go little bit abroad the tourists ways you can enjoy the pure nature. A lot of caves and waterfalls and traditional houses on the mountains!

I had a very good praying time but, not everyone understood the place, necessary to be humble and quiet! Very upset when outside at the parking place we wanted to go to the ladies room and surprisingly men were entering in there. When I ask some cleaning ladies why is the men's room closed they were telling me because they are cleaning. Very rude and mean!!! Sunday at 16.00

Peaceful, organized and relaxing. Beautiful gardens. Come early as it can get very hot. Crowds later in the day. Clean bathrooms, fresh water supply. Book shops but no snacks or drinks. No restaurant. No snack shop. Plenty of parking. Wheel chair accessible. No smoking, decent dress. No shorts. Women must wear skirts and headdress.

A very quite and clean place. Very beautiful. You do not need to buy ticket. You need to check on Google the crowded hours to not stay a few hours to visit the place. We arrived at 9.30 and we stayed to visit the graveyard and to listen the ceremony, around 2.3 hours. Keep in mind to take umbrellas or something to cover in case of raining. If you want to buy candela or a suvenir, you need to be patient because it will be crowded, you can stay at least one hour.

Beautiful place in the middle of the nature. It gets very crowded and many people visiting it, forget that it is a place of worship and of being humble.

So peaceful. We go to pray for our soul and reunite my family

Very thankful for having come here, I hope to come again.

Quiet religious place, has a church from 1399, worth quickly visiting if you are in the area.

Be prepared! 1km uphill climb from parking space to the entrance! Cash only for tickets. After that, a lovely walk through the forrest. Beautiful and peaceful. There are boards giving information about history, which is quite interesting.

Amazing to visit and learn about roman cities. Don't miss out on the other nearby locations.

So much history it is a little Rome. I enjoyed my visit and would love to visit again one day

The ticket was 14 lei which is almost 3€. For this you get an entry into the across the street museum and the ruins. The ruins where nice, nut much to be honest and I also think the experience is whether dependent. On the day we visited it was cloudy with a bit of rain. It could improve a lot but is a nice place to visit if you are passing by. I don't recommend to go specifically here, it takes not more than 30 min to see everything you can see.

The ruins along with the provided information are very interesting. Unfortunately, the main attraction, the amphitheater, is closed for the public and it seems to be “modernized”. Nevertheless, the museum, although small, has a very well informed guide who can answer your questions on the matters of archeology and history of the place and not only. I would recommend to visit.

For some people these are just ruins with no meaning....but these thousands of years roman habitats are full "energy". U also want to go the museum they have across the street and talk to the very knowledgeable guide that takes care of the place. He is the best👏👏👏👏👏

Very interesting, very beautiful and tranquil place

Friendly staff, tasty wine,value for money! Recommended!

Great assortment of locally produced wines before they reach international markets

This is the place if you want to buy quality wine. I have been here several times, very good quality

Very nice wine store for bottled wine, I really enjoy their top brand section Solo Quinta as well as a few other fruity and sweet blends. While Solo Quinta is more expensive than usual, the sweet, coupe red wine blend which I also loved is around 20 lei.

Place looks amazing and they have a wine shop where you can buy bottles. They offer a short tour and if you set an appointment you can be served food and drinks. For groups of 5-6 people they make the appointments only during their opening hours but for bigger groups they are more flexible with the schedule.

Absolutely wonderful, so clean and the people are so nice. Went to find a specific type of wine and the amazing lady there was so helpful! Thank you!

First of all, a good wine is the wine you like enough to drink. " I accept any philosophy, if it is sprinkled with a good wine." ☺️For me a good wine is a balanced wine, and in a glass of balanced wine no flavor stands out in favor of another.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

A small but interesting museum in Vac with a small crypt that exhibits 3 mummified corpses found during an excavation following the reinnovation of this little town's central square. Takes around 30-45 minutes of your time if u like reading. Interesting facts about the first immigrants that came to Vac after the eclipse of the Ottoman empire, mostly Germans and Greeks.

Quite extraordinary place. The museum has basically been created as a result of the discovery of a sealed-off burial crypt containing the coffins, personal artifacts and mumified remains of 18th Century town's folk. Some of the burial artifacts are display on the ground floor, but the main reason for coming here is to visit the crypt. A bit creepy seeing the actual mumified facial remains of several people. The coffins on display are well preserved and decorated with a variety of motifs which revolve around themes of redemption, death and vanity. Note that entrance ticket is cash only.

Ticket salesman was very nice and helped us choose which ticket we wanted (there are different tours). We choose the one with the crypt and the mummys and it was a very thought provoking experience. Unlike some other exhibitions I've seen, they were very respectful to the dead, and the exhibition took it absolutely seriously to preserve the history of all the people who passed away here. Can't recommend this exhibition enough.

Awesome little museum! Gives you a bit of 18th c. Hungarian history to put everything in context and then you go down into the basement to see the actual coffins they found and a few mummified bodies (the clothes they are in are not original however). Really worth seeing, especially if doing the Danube River bend trip. Only needs about 30 min to an hour, depending on how closely you want to read everything.

Worth a visit it’s not expensive to get in staff friendly and helpful

At this time of year, January, it was very quiet. I was given a one on one guide with a very friendly member of staff. The museum is small, but contains fascinating items, including several mummified bodies in the cellar area and many recovered religious artefacts. A good job has been done restoring the 17th-18th pine coffins using appropriate colours. If this museum was in Budapest it would be extremely busy. Make time during your holiday to take the train from Nyugati station. It only takes 25 minutes or so. If you want to know more about this place there are several interesting videos on YouTube.

The museum is great, unfortunately access to the Greek church is not allowed due to safety concerns. You can't take photos of the mummies in the basement.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! 🍷 ❤

Beautiful and peaceful nature, amazing wines for affordable prices. Tatijana is very friendly and nice. I highly recommend to all wine, apple and juices lovers! 🍏🍷🍀

Excellent experience, a warm welcome 😍 Beautiful place owned by extremely friendly and fully professional people. We tried 5 different sorts of wine and each was better than the last one.. the place on its own is breathtaking 😌 A piece of advice: try everything 😎 A “must visit” place 🍷🤩 Thank you for everything ❤️

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! Highly recommend this winery, be sure you bring all the cash so you can buy all the wines and apple chips! Natalie and Nathan from England

A very nice place owned by a local and fully professional people. They will welcome you warmly. You can buy several products they are producing by themself. A “must visit” please if you are neraby. Warmly Recommended!

A beautiful wine house offering an authentic experience of their excellent produce. The biggest thank you to the lovely hosts! 🤗 A piece of advice: try everything!

Runaway in thw hills, world class wine ,homemade dryed meat and cheese - pictures will explain better

The castle was so-so. Nothing spectacular. Most areas not open to see. The outside, however, was beautiful grounds, lots of great views when walking and enjoying with friends. I recommend the area in general even if the "castle" isn't the idea one would imagine for a castle, the outside of it is beautiful!

Nice, unfortunately a part of it was closed for renovations. It is not vary well maintained and that is a pity. It was freezing cold inside in mid January. I guess they have not warm it because of economical reasons, but this is a big minus for the few tourists interested in the castle. Sunday, as many other castles in Slovenia, it is closed. This castle is opened during the week days and until 13:00 on Saturday. I actually added the opening hours for google because it was not even showing. It's clear that they lack tourists, but this opening hours don't help at all. People are mostly free on weekends, so how could someone visit anything if it is closed?! 🤔

Not worth coming nothing to see though it said exhibits open a time waster

A beautiful place to visit.

Beautiful park, well taken care of, great for kids, some animals to see and a nice playground. Not sure if the cafeteria still runs. Last time I was there wes fee years back.

The castle is not in a good shape. There is no hint its Hungarian origin (Szapary noble family). The park around the castle is well-maintained and relaxing

Castle from late 18 th century, whit one of the best of museums in Slovenija. Here is a permanent exibition of history of Prekmurje from bronze age to begining of 20th century. Castle host also Mikk an alternitive club whit very interesting concert program.
