Castle
Dramatic ruins of a medieval clifftop castle, with an exhibition of Ottoman-era clothing & weapons.
Very nice place with stunning view and interesting caves. Went here on a really sunny day and the blue sky was just like a painting. Just take care to not slip or hit your head in the caves (it hurts :P)

Nicely renewed little fortress in rhe heart of the forest. A bit steep walk, but managable. Has some caves under which is less common at these forts.

If you are coming from the East, take the drive through the Bükk Mountains for a spectacular drive just as nice the castle itself. There is a good walk to the top of the mountain. About the quarters of the way up is an open field with picnic tables and a shirt hike to a cliff lookout that gives an amazing view of the castle and surrounding region. Unlike many of the other castles there are tons on little activities for children that we spent quite a lot of time with.

The environment is beautiful, the castle we only saw from the outside as we thought the price was too high for a ruin like that.
Magdi Stolcenberger — Google review
Rather disappointed. It was not very accessible. They had a view steps in place but it was mostly a muddy surface that was difficult to walk on. Just soms ruïnes and a small tunnel underneath the castle as well.
Steep climb on cobblestone to get there which is not stroller or wheelchair friendly.
Lies Warlop — Google review
Really cool ruin, to visit. Shame they charge for entry.
Alexander Öberg — Google review
Not a large castle, but the view is magnificent, and the the small dungeons connecting the higher and lower parts are pretty cool, too.
Zoli Bartha — Google review
It looks really nice since the renovations, the upper part still needs more escavations.
Former castle stronghold built on top of an isolated peak, now offering scenic climbs.
After a nice little hike from the parking the view that the ruin can offer is spectacular, perfect for romantic sunsets. We wished if it would have been preserved in better condition but you still feel the history. Thumbs up for Petőfi.

The view from the watch Tower is incredable. You can see the Tátra from there. I recommend everyone to go there at least once.
2001 Magor — Google review
Amazing view from the top! The castle went through on a renovation, the highest tower got a roof. Parking is 1,7km from the castle, so it is easily accessible with children too. Follow the green T tourist sign for 1,5km, you will get to the "carved squirrel". From here 0,3km more on red L. The last 20 steps a bit high, but the rest of the trail is a nice walk.
If you are in the area make sure you don't miss the witch's stones! Only 0,3km from the "carved squirrel". ;)

Adventure park with a high ropes course, forest mazes & giant swings, plus paintball & archery.
A very professionally created adventure park, with a lot of different games and adventures for every ages, from toddlers till grown-ups. When the game is over it is also a good place for a small walk, check the exhibited army vehicles as well. The prices are average and worth every cents. The crew is really nice, professional and helpful. The environment and the nature, the park all around is also impressive, breath-taking.

Nice view from the New Panorama toilets.
We Had a funny time here. The Bridge was quiet a challenge Not to Fall and to Gigle.
Food was quiet ok 😁✌🏻
Horst Holgerson — Google review
We were there already after the opening about 12years ago. Nothing essential really has changed since then. Things became old and are not really maintained. A lot of attractions were not possible because of weight or height or were just closed. We finally spent 32.000HUF for the Bob track, Lift and some bicycles. Parking was extra costs. The whole park was more than disappointing.
Steve Numan — Google review
A great place, with a wide array of adrenaline inducing activities and reasonable prices. Best in Summer.

Kids like to spend their money and time here. For me it is more interesting to take a route on the Blue trail (Kéktúra).
Viktor Halpert — Google review
It's interesting that the entrance is for free but then everything needs their coin to be used. Can actually get pricey if you wanna do a lot of activities. Also important to note coins are non refundable. Otherwise it's nicely located in the Matra and the landscapes views are great. Bob, mini train, adventure park, trampolines... Full of activities for the children but a nice place to be around for the adults as well.
Ivonig Corfmat — Google review
Nice and big adventure park with lots of fun things to spend your time and pennies (called fitying) on. The absolute biggest blast is the summer sledge, but the most unique improvement is the panoramic toilet. Peeing while enjoying the scenery is something I never anticipated to experience in my life. Whoever came up with the idea deserves a bonus, a raise and a paid vacation.
Tip: if you want to buy 20 pennies az the cashier's, make it 22, so the 10% discount kicks in and you pay less than four the 20. Az lesz that's what we did in the summer of 2023.
Peter Murvai — Google review
Great time here with 2 kids. It was inexpensive. The summer sled was amazing. Also, the suspended bridge was thrilling! Parking available on site. There were very few people inside on an early saturday, so we enjoyed the park for ourselves. The staff was helpful. There is a small terrace where you can buy sanwiches coffee ice cream. About 1 hours drive to Budapest is definitely worth it if you are passing through the area. Tip: it is a discount if you buy more coins for the rides, make sure you look for it in the pricing list and also ask for it at the counter
Daniel Geodoiu — Google review
It is a nice place.
The place keeps kids busy 😂
Parking is 700huf a day which is ok.
Large parking place right under the attractions.
Bouncing castle,a tank,a fighter jet,couple of jeeps,a small agriculture helicopter, a lake,etc....
You can jump to a train which goes around a park (in 7mins) it is quiet fun.
There is a bufet with an amazing terrace view.
Public toilet is located there also.
Staff is friendly and helpfull.
We spend a great afternoon there with 3kids and spend about 10.000HUF .
Surly recomend a place good fun with an amazing view from middle of the Matra.
Zsolt Magyar — Google review
The place is huge with a lot of action and excitement. You have to pay for all single ride with unique currency called fittying. Even the chair lift (libegö) is part of that. Bob rude is good, in Fonyod it is shorter. Suspension bridge also worth. For toddlers there is a playhouse (pay separately) where they have also free wifi.

Lovely outdoor park with a lot of possible activities from 0 to 99 years old children
It was a very unique experience, we enjoyed every second of the ride. These dogs do a really hard labour but as we saw it they are really enjoying it, this is basically their life. Tamás is really passionate about his dogs, he really cares about them and he loves them more than anything.

(Translated by Google) It was a great experience. 🐕😍 I can recommend it to anyone who loves dogs. It is amazing what power they have. Dogs are persistent, receptive and gentle. We saw what dog grabbing is like with a pro. Dogs were the focus for me, but the environment was also beautiful. My advice is not to care if you get a little dirty, enjoy the dogs and the environment. Thanks, we'll be back for sure.
It was amazing! 🐕😍 I would recommend it to anyone who loves dogs. It is incredible how strong the dogs are. They are persistent, well behaved, and gentle. We experienced how dog sledding works with a professional. My favorite part was the dogs, but the view was beautiful too. My advice is not to care about getting dirty just enjoy the moment with the dogs. Thank you, we will be back soon.

Szuper élmény volt. 🐕😍 Mindenkinek tudom javasolni, akik szeretik a kutyákat. Elképesztő milyen erő van bennük. A kutyák kitartóak, szófogadóak és szelidek. Beleláttunk, hogy milyen a kutyafogatozás egy profival. A kutyák voltak a középpontban számomra, de a környezet is gyönyörű volt. A tanácsom, hogy ne érdekeljen ha kicsit koszos leszel, élvezd a kutyákat és a környezetet. Köszönjük, még biztos vissza fogunk menni.

(Translated by Google) Thank you, it was a fantastic experience! 😃 We had the opportunity to hike in a wonderful environment, on a forest road, in a way that only a few manage. 😄 Explosive, energy-bombing dogs who are very, very friendly, some of them demand human attention, a little squishy is not enough. 😁 You can see how much they enjoy it, this is their life, wonderful animals. 😊 And Tamás Hering also... this is his life, he loves his dogs, he watched and protected them during the whole tour, they are a well-adjusted team. 😊 The years and the routine, but it was worth it. 😊 All you need is snow, a real sled can be a magical experience. 😄 I hope it wasn't the last time we took part in the tour! 😁
(Original)
Köszönjük, fantasztikus élmény volt! 😃 Csodás környezetben, erdei úton volt lehetőségünk túrázni, olyan módon, ahogy csak keveseknek sikerül. 😄 Robbanékony, energiabomba kutyák, akik nagyon nagyon barátságosak, van aki kiköveteli az ember figyelmét, egy kis simi nem is elég. 😁 Látszik, mennyire élvezik, ez az életük, csodás jószágok. 😊 Hering Tamásnak pedig szintén...ez az élete, imádja a kutyáit, az egész túra alatt végig figyelte, óvta őket, remekül összeszokott csapat. 😊 Az évek és a rutin, de megérte. 😊 Már csak hó kellene, egy igazi szánnal varázslatos élmény lehet. 😄 Remélem nem utoljára vettünk részt a túrán! 😁

(Translated by Google) I wholeheartedly recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience, which I received from my boyfriend for my birthday, because I love dogs. A very interesting program that can be enjoyed at any time of the year, with beautiful, very smart dogs that can be petted 😍
In addition, Tamás makes the tour even more interesting by telling about his experiences. We had the opportunity to rent a scooter as part of the package, which was also nice to visit the local attractions.
Thank you for the experience and the friendly welcome! We had a great time!😊

Szívből ajánlom mindenkinek ezt az életre szóló élményt, amit szülinapomra kaptam a barátomtól, mivel imádom a kutyusokat. Bármilyen évszakban élvezhető és nagyon érdekes program, gyönyörű, nagyon okos kutyákkal, akiket bátran lehet simogatni is😍
Tamás ezen felül a tapasztalatai mesélésével teszi még érdekesebbé a túrát. Lehetőségünk volt scootert is bérelni a csomagban, amivel ugyancsak hangulatos volt bejárni a helyi látványosságokat.
Köszönjük az élményt, és a baráti fogadtatást! Nagyon jól éreztük magunkat!😊

My 2,5 year old enjoyed the outdoor area with his bike. Unfortunately, the shop to buy some food and coffee was closed. It’s open only in the weekends for now. (Totally understandable)
The penguin walks was cute and educational. It would be nice if the animals were explained it in English as well but probably not many tourists comes. All together it’s a 5 star.

A little-known little zoo, but well worth a visit despite its distance to the capital or other touristy places. Extremely good value for money, and they seem to take the care and welfare of animals seriously. The walk with the penguins is a truly unique experience.

It wasn't really good, because most of the zoo was closed due to construction, and you couldn't really see anything.
Hollókő, a village in northern Hungary's Nógrád County, is a well-preserved ethnographic village of the Palóc people.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Restored remains of a 13th-century fort, with historic armaments & recreated period rooms.
The view from the castle is amazing. We visited during the week so there weren't too many people around. If you can, it's worth it to walk your way up from the village.
Vivien Petre — Google review
The rebuilt castle of Hollokő embodies history and charm. Its well-refurbished walls and interiors hold tales of the past of Hungary, a country which seeks here positively to highlight its roots and singularities. The name of the castl (and that of the village) comes from the legend of its education. I recommand to visit it in combination with the unesco site next to it, as part of a guided tour.

Sadly, the castle was closed due to the snow the day we went but it was still a nice adventure. It is one of the shorter walks/hikes to this castle than many of the other ones... just 700 meters. If you walk up the hill opposite the castle it offers a nice view of the castle and a bit of the surrounding valley and plain. The castle itself looks like it would be neat.

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.

(Translated by Google) The museum is impeccable, more than 100 roe deer antlers, lots of dame bulls and bull bull trophies. There are even African animals, e.g.: lion, oryx, wandering antelope, buffalo... It is very cheap compared to the museum (all Hungarian wild animals are there).

Szép, felújított, modern. Sok interaktív feladat, színező van, ami a gyerekeknek is kellemes időtöltés lehet. Nem mondom, hogy ezért érdemes ellátogatni Hatvanba, de ha erre járunk mindenképp megér egy kitérőt.

(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.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely pleasant disappointment for me. Hunting is not something that really appeals to me, but the exhibition is very well put together. With interactive tasks for children. Wildlife, hunting, painting, an old kitchen, a fountain in the garden and a hedge maze. You have to buy a separate ticket for indoor photography. It was a pleasure. 😊

Abszolút kellemes csalódás nekem. A vadászat nem igazán vonzó dolog számomra, de a kiállítás nagyon jól összeállított. Interaktív feladatokkal gyerekeknek. Állatvilág, vadászat, festészet, régi konyha, a kertben szökőkút, és sövénylabirintus.Benti fotózáshoz külön jegyet kell venni. Élmény volt. 😊

(Translated by Google) A sensationally renovated, extremely demanding museum, whose exhibition space and its interactivity perfectly meet the expectations of the present age, all of which can provide a real experience for all generations, forgetting the old, boring, tired nerves, which are still so characteristic of many "crypts" called museums.
A great experience for children as well, the interest is maintained throughout through a creative adventure book, one of the most sympathetic museum interpretations of recent times.
Highly recommended.
(Original)
Szenzációsan felújított, rendkívül igényes múzeum, melynek kiállítótere, annak interaktivitása tökéletesen megfelel a jelen kor elvárásainak, mindez minden generáció számára igazi élményt nyújthat, feledtetve a régi avítt, unalmas, fáradt beidegződéseket, mely még mindig olyannyira jellemező számos múzeumnak nevezett "kriptára"
Remek élmény gyermekeknek is, az érdeklődés kreatív kalandfüzeten keresztül végig fenntartva, az utóbbi idők egyik legszimpatikusabb múzeumi interpretálása.
Különösen ajánlott.
Lázár Lovaspark offers a fantastic experience for visitors, featuring excellent food and drink, a carriage drive through the forest, and an exciting horse show. Even non-horse enthusiasts found the visit thoroughly enjoyable. The park showcases Hungary's "cowboy" culture with a captivating horse show presented in Hungarian and German, but with English interpretation available. The friendly staff and spotless facilities add to the appeal of this highly recommended tourist attraction located about an hour from Budapest.
The horses and skills of the riders were incredible. The food and wine was abundant and delicious. The music was festive. Most important, the people were friendly and attentive. We highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Budapest. We will return. Thank you for a memorable evening!

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.

been here for a company event a few years ago, now we had a team bulding :)
quad stuff was great, though couldn't drive fast - idk if that's thanks to the weather.. :(
riding the tank was fun, though not a huge thing. (not the tank you imagine.. low space, etc..)
food was good. i loved the variety of the meats. red wine doesn't recommended.

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!

We came as part of a guided tour and saw the horse show and did a carriage ride. The ride was relaxing and pretty. The show had a variety of acts and English translation. We enjoyed! The area was beautiful. Enjoyed seeing the animals.
The Royal Palace of Gödöllő is a large baroque palace with period furnishings and historical displays, as well as concerts and events. It is one of the best palaces in Hungary, and its gardens are especially beautiful in autumn.
So so beautiful. Only had one day to be there in Gödöllő but it was more than enough to check out this wonderful castle.
I got a student ticket and a your with two other people. During this your, we got to explore the whole castle, except the places that were getting renovated, at a steady place, allowing us to ask questions, learn cool new facts and take some amazing pictures.
The history of it all is something I absolutely love as Sissi is such an amazing figure and to us Hungarians, she was one of the most amazing queens.
If you're a fan of history or maybe just want to check castles out, it is absolutely worth a visit.
Tamara Kacsala — Google review
We went on a weekday, it was empty. The collection is not that big due to the palace being ransacked during the war. But it's still worth visiting. It's been well-maintained and we enjoyed a quiet time browsing in each room.

I recommend this one day trip if you are staying in Budapest. The Royal Palace of Sissi is a magical place where you can feel the history and the life of the Princess. I expected the gardens to be something more.....flowers, plants, trees, nothing of the sort, maybe it is better in spring/summer time. A couple of rooms were close to the public, for this reason I had a discount and spent only 12€. Nice video at the end of the tour.

The castle is beautiful, but I just stopped, looked at the park and got a fine for unpaid parking 8 €. I missed any English text about the fact that I have to pay something ... I am annoyed because I am a foreigner and the surrounding household nothing ... I paid her to enjoy it locally when I can't do anything in a foreign language.

It was like sitting in a time machine and witnessing Hungarian history closely; Guide was very knowledgeable and she had amazing trivia about everything. And yes, a small souvenir shop too which could enable you to take a small part of the history home as well. Worth all the trouble of coming out of Budapest (that was a smooth and convenient travel too- almost hassle free)

I feel like it's overpriced. I didn't know until the end that pretty much everything was rebuilt/ redesigned. Also, for the price they charge the parking should at least be free.
The grounds are large and beautiful though. That alone makes it a nice getaway.

It's disappointing that the staff at the ticket counter failed to inform us that the relatively expensive temporary exhibit that features a few items and paintings from the famous Schönbrunn Palace is only a mere six small rooms—a ten-minute entertainment top. Weirdly, instead of a security guard, they had a proper uniformed police officer on duty in full gear, sidearm, cuffs, etc., who closely followed us, interacting with our baby girl. It made us slightly uncomfortable—no photos or pushchairs allowed. When I expressed that we were disappointed, they shrugged their shoulders.
Lovely garden, though.

Well... it was restaurated few years ago. Before it was a soviet army base... and looked very sad. I visited it YTD for a concert (it was excellent!). But: the small details are falling parts! Curtains are falling down, the light bulbs in the chandeliers are not working... etc. It could be a fantastic place to visit but it needs much more attention!

Sadly it was ransacked by the Soviet army and most items damaged or stolen. It was interesting to see, but not greatly impressed. It is also undergoing renovation.
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.
Monika Varga — Google review
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!

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 👍

The Bear Farm zoo features tame wolves, reindeer, and raccoons. The animals are treated with priority and have their own large area with food and a lake to bathe in. The zoo is spectacularly decorated with many bears, many wolves, and many lions.
This place seems like the animals are treated with priority, they have their big area, food, even a lake to bathe.
I enjoyed the walk in the forest and the small train was refreshing on a hot summer day.
I truly appreciated that the food sold to feed the animals was a basket of fresh fruits, a lot better than some compressed grass.

The Bear Farm is a good program if you are staying close to the site. I reccomend coming here by car because the public transport is not a good option, but the parking lot is big enough. The bears have a big fanced area for themselves which you can walk around in about 20 minutes. You can also find lions, lynx and wolves at the park as well, but they aren't as active as the bears. The price is not that low, however if you want to encounter bears up close this is definitely your place to visit.

Bears and wolves - what more would you want? The kids loved the place, the only thing I was a bit grumpy about was that Google Maps led me through dirt roads instead of the longer but properly paved one.
UPDATE: It has changed a bit. There are lions in there now and they are as majestic as you would expect. BUT! The services and food quality took a nosedive and went straight to the abyss. It's so overpriced it's ridiculous, but at least the ice slush and the ice cream both tasted like agricultural byproducts... Seriously, it's highway robbery with a pinch of shamelessness.

You can see bears, wolfs, lions, lamas, rabbits from pretty close. You can buy food for the animals and yourself, the traditional Chimney cakes are strongly recommended to try (2000 Huf/each).

There is a playground for kids, we enjoyed a kids train ride a lot. But be prepared that it goes through the dark tunnel ~200m long.

Food wise, there was only 1 spot with chimney cake.

An off the beaten track place, looking after rescued animals. Great value attraction, half day venue.
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.

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.

Good alpine bobsleighing experience for the whole family with pricey memorabilia and equally pricey parking but we'll worth it lest you make a habit out of attending. There's a buffet if you're hungry and a decent enough lavatory. You pay for the whole day of parking and can strike out to visit the castle on the top of the hill on foot or go zip lining or attend the adventure park right next to this venue. Would recommend once every couple of years it's fun.

Visegrád Royal Palace, located above the charming old town of Visegrad in the Danube Bend, is a centuries-old Italianate structure with a Gothic cloister and Renaissance-style loggia. Originally built in the 14th century under King Charles, it was later reconstructed by King Matthias Corvinus with late Gothic and Renaissance elements.

Here was the first EU parliament held in Europe🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back in 1335 kings from Hungary, Checz and Poland and many dukes like from Bavaria, Croatia, Teutonic order... gathered here and make arrangements for peace and trade in the area. Most important event of 14th century. The palace fell in decline after Turka defeated them in 16th century. They sure are making effort to restore it. U can see how palace was in three floors, royal chambers, kitchen, gardens. A lot od things are replica, like the fountains, but in the....dungeons there are originals....well what is left od them.
In more recent history those three countries remade old friendships and there group in EU is called after this town, Visegrad.

HEROES' SQUARE
The square is located at the far end of Andrassy Avenue, adjacent to City Park, and it stands as one of the prominent squares in Budapest. It's renowned for its iconic Millennium Monument adorned with statues depicting Hungarian national leaders, as well as the Memorial Stone of Heroes, which is often mistakenly referred to as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On the left and right sides of the square are the Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace of Art. Be cautious, as in Budapest, there are three additional squares named Heroes' Square.

The House of Terror is a museum in Hungary documenting the effect of Nazi and Soviet regimes on Hungary and the victims. It includes a permanent exhibit about crimes and atrocities committed by both regimes.
Moving, superbly setup museum on a tough topic.
Small museum but extremely well setup for visitors with audio guides in most languages that automatically trigger as you enter a given room. This was a killer feature that made the visit even more easy to traverse.
Extremely inexpensive and well maintained. Man’s inhumanity to man is well documented and movingly portrayed.
I wish every museum was so well setup. One can spend 3 hours at the museum easily to do it justice.

This museum is absolutely critical to educate both Hungarians and tourists on the horrors of communism and totalitarianism in the country.
The stories, images and artifacts remind us all the value of democracy and how fragile it is, and the high cost we all pay when we lose it.
My rating was mostly due to the lack of opportunity to present a more forceful and impactful message, most messages were in the form of videos with Hungarian audio, poor or no English signage made the message dissipate.
I hope it is remodeled to create a better impact and easier for the international audience to absorb.

My 10 year old son, and I visited. We did the audio tour which was a bit too detailed and long-winded. We skipped some of the sections, but it was still very informative. The best part is at the end in the basement. We checked our backpacks in the luggage storage, and it worked very well.

Me and my brother (USA, 18 and 19) spent 2.5 hours here. We did not get the audio guide. Like other reviews - the staff is at the very least NOT friendly. It cost us $23.49 USD for 2 of us - full price tickets (they do not have student discounts for students with citizenship outside the EU area). Almost everything is written in Hungarian, so consider the audio guide IF 1. you have more time or 2. You really like learning /history. There was enough details for us from the many many videos with English subtitles and the one pager descriptions in about half of the rooms. Overall we learned about a side of history barely taught in American classrooms and so I find this to be a MUST VISIT, even with all the negatives. We came in at 10:10 and had to wait 10 minutes in a line to buy tickets. When we exited around 12:45 there was a pretty long line stretching outside the building (probably 20-30 minute wait).

Its difficult to describe a visit to this museum as enjoyable given its focus. But, if you want to learn about the recent history of Hungary, this is a good place to start. We took the audio guide as we were unsure how much would be in English. Turned out that there are A4 sized cards on the wall in each exhibit/room in English you can take out and read. We still enjoyed having the audio guide. My teenager particularly found this museum fascinating. She listened to every bit of the audio guide and read absolutely every piece of information in here she could find. We spent several hours here having a break for lunch. Even if you haven't much time, a walk round over an hour or so will give you a good taste of what is in this museum & if you are an English speaker, the A4 info cards will be sufficient for you to grasp each exhibit. Some of the old videos displayed recounting this time period are harrowing & a sobering reminder of such recent history.

A good first stop to a trip to Budapest as it helps you understand what Hungary went through and how it relates to some of the other common tourist attractions.
The audio guide is a must for English speakers, without it you only have paper pamphlets in certain rooms.
I took off a star because of the whole set up. The music was way too intense in one of the first rooms while I was trying to watch the video. The interviews on the wall are also a bit confusing, one would play and then it switches to another screen and then back.

Not a very enjoyable museum due to the nature of its content but a must visit in order to understand and learn form one of the darkest periods of our time. The exhibitions are very well curated, the atmosphere of each room really takes you into the topic they are showing. The rooms are impresione and also very interactive. I would recommend to go early in the day to avoid the many visitors it gets and to buy the audioguide.

First of all the reason I'm knocking a star off is because the staff are so unfriendly and you aren't supposed to take pictures.. I have no idea why that would be though. Otherwise, it's good value for money, educational, and a really interesting place.
Christian Hoffman — Google review
A decent place to go if you have an extra day at Budapest. Don't reserve your day specially for visiting this.
It is about the history of world war but feels like it's just one side of story (which is totally understandable).
The audio guide is recommended, and the entry fee is 10 Euro. It takes around 1.5 hour for the full tour.
Taking pictures inside is not allowed.

When visiting Budapest, the House of Terror should definitely be visited and enriches the city trip. In general, this museum shows the time of Budapest/Hungary under National Socialism and the time under Communism. The museum illustrates well how two very different political directions nevertheless intersect in their cruelty. Admission is fine. I would really recommend an audio guide, as there is a lot of information in it and it can be relatively uninteresting without one. I would also recommend visiting at weekends when there are no school groups. There are lockers in the museum for storing valuables. Inside it was very very humid and warm - I would take water with me.
Martin — Google review
I give only 3 stars because the real goldmine of information, documents, images and exhibits is very, very badly organised.
The itinerary of the visit is not clearly explained, and one can deduce it only if he knows the history and the events (I did it, but not the same for several visitors, who were wandering inside the venues with no clue of what to see first).
The volume of propaganda music and speeches was so loud to overwhelm the audio guide explanations.
The captions - when available...- were often only in Hungarian.
The wardens spoke NO English at all.
Finally, few places to sit.
A real pity.
Gianluca Manfredelli — Google review
This was a sobering exposé of atrocities in the post WW2 and Soviet occupation era. It was a thorough and well documented timeline showing the impact to the daily lives of ordinary citizens caught in the crosshairs of war. The only criticisms are that the museum would itself become another terror in the event of a fire, given the overcrowding of visitors, close quarters and unlabeled fire exits. The English audio guide also portrayed the Hungarian politicians as being forced unwillingly into choosing sides in WW2 due to being squeezed between Germany and Russia, with no mention of their aspirations to retake land lost after WW1.
John Miller — Google review
The climate in this place is just amazing. So good idea to create this that much scary. The things presented are just facts. There's a lot of videos. Don't take the audio guide as this does not help you to focus on what you see or watch. On the other hand it works just terrible. Sometimes switches automatically (mostly in the rooms with videos) where in quiet rooms without and texts doesn't work and you need to turn on manually. I have found it rather disturbing after just 5 minutes. The organization is half good. That means you start 2nd floor and follow the arrows until 1st floor. Then the access to the basement is something you need to figure out on your own also with direction.

Interesting museum about the history of Hungary and the past of the Soviet regime. It can be abit abstract at times and some exhibits have no English descriptions. The exhibit is not that big and can be finished in about 30-45 minutes. The sentiment of the museum is good as you can see the real building and place of the atrocities, but it is not very educational. Museum tours can block whole rooms and passages for other visitors which is frustrating. Staff are just curt and not friendly.

Should have a lot of stories that show the horrible period in Hungary. The poor arrangement not able to bring up the interest and make visitor boring and sleepy. Basically just script with some videos and throw these information to visitors. Unlike other museum or gallery that they don’t allow any photos taking in this house. I would not recommend to waste time

Lots of bad things happened here in this house, use the audio phone if you want to understand something , everything is in Hungarian, no English next to all infos . We just looked and without understanding anything went out 😊but could feel the terror . Maybe I will understand what I saw when I read the book I bought in the museumshop.

Visiting the museum is only comprehensible with audio guides; without them, you're left bewildered (especially if you do not understand Hungarian). While the atmosphere is great (and the overall setup), it's overshadowed by the lack of English explanations for tourists, leaving them at a disadvantage. Important to mention: No photos allowed.
Tobias Schneider — Google review
The Museum was good, I felt the audio guide is very necessary despite there are some papers with explanations but the info they have are very limited, so in my experience would be more enjoyable and easy to understand if you have an audio guide. The price is 2,000 florins

Pros:
- For a museum about terror, it felt eerie and claustrophobic. The visuals, music and sound all supported the atmosphere.
Cons:
- They use a revisionist history where Hungarians were portrayed as victims of Nazis whereas in reality, they were allies and enthusiastic collaborators (Hungary chose to join the Axis). This museum fits well with Orban and Fidesz’s narrative.
- Almost everything is in Hungarian so you need to get the audio guide. Is the propaganda intended for a domestic audience?
- The gift shop contains more propaganda literature about how wokism or Soros is corrupting the world.
The Hungarian State Opera House is a Neo-Renaissance building that is considered to be amongst the best in the world when it comes to its acoustic properties. The opera house also houses tours of its gorgeous architecture, as well as performances of world-class caliber.
We came last minute and bought the standing ‘seats’ for 1500 each. Decent view and there is a bench to lean against. Opera Building is absolutely beautiful, I believe it has had a recent renovation.
We saw Bach, which was expertly presented although the piece was not to my taste.
Well worth the visit, and also easy bough to leave early if standing becomes too uncomfortable.
Christian Harris — Google review
Amazing building, newly refurbished and the effort that went into it really shows!
The acoustics is simply great, the seats are very comfortable and the air conditioning provides an optimal temperature. I'm shocked that I've seen Wagner's Gotterdammerung which is close to five hours and left the hall feeling refreshed rather than tired.
Of course this is reflected in the ticket price, but, seriously this is a competitor in the best halls I've ever been to, so it's understandable. I should mention the staff are an awesome bunch of guys, very helpful and non intrusive, I only got my ticket checked at entry.
I would recommend this place for any performance because it gives you the opportunity to take some great pics inside and have the joy of listening to a great sound.

Unfortunately I could not get tickets for the opera performance since everything is sold out for the nearest dates. At least I found out that they provide guided tours in a few languages. The ticket price is 9000 forint, you can book it on their website or buy it there. I really enjoyed our tour the duration of which was 1 hour. The guide was friendly and she shared lots of stories about the Opera House establishment and history. And the building itself is majestic inside 😍

Take a tour, enjoy this wonderful small opera house with lots of historical information and, with a little luck, watch a new stage design being set up. It's 25$/23€ and well worth it, with a little performance included. Also do watch a play. Best to book or get your tickets WELL in advance. Otherwise you'll only be able to get in line an hour before the performance and get, very comfortable, standing room only assigned "seats" for a very reasonable $4,50/4€. It's a wonderful experience. Unfortunately I can't post the coming operas information and the videos of the wonderful interior and impromptu performances.

If you are a traveler who couldn't book a seat, you can go to the ticket office on the right side of the 0th floor at 5 p.m
You can reserve opera seats and standing seats on Hungarian National Opera Home Page site.
Standing seats are held at 5 p.m.
In other words, you can book standing seats at 5 p.m. online and offline at the same time.
Standing seats can only hang a hip over a seat.
The concert space is half visible, and the orchestra is half visible
Five dollars is enough to feel the feeling and emotion of the opera, and you will thank me.
You will feel the best luck in your trip to Budapest.
That's how cool it is.

Review contains useful advice! ⭐️⭐️
100% recommend. Tickets were 9000 HUF per person and they have tours available in English, Spanish, French, German, Hungarian (choosing Hungarian makes the tour 5000 HUF I believe) and I think also Italian. The tour guide was amazing. The tour was very engaging, NOT filled with boring facts but rather learning through actually useful information and funny jokes.
⭐️⭐️ At the end of the tour there was a 10 min performance. I recommend trying to grab a seat on the stairs or a view in the middle. We were on the right side and the singing was not heard as well because of the speakers.
⭐️⭐️As I remember, the box with all four seats is around €160 so if you plan on going to opera make sure to bring something glamorous like a tuxedo/dress as to not stand out and look like a local 😂

Wow... what a wonderful place! It is definitely worth buying a ticket to visit the opera in Budapest, the cost is 9000HUF including a 1 hour tour with a guide who tells the history of the opera and a 10-minute performance on the end! The concert hall is impressive and very richly decorated! Great impression!

When I came to Budapest two years ago, the Opera was not opened to the public due to renovation. Finally, I took a visit to the magnificent building this time. It deserved a two-year waiting any way. The only minor bug was that the guide in this Opera cannot speak English fluently and was not friendly, either.

My sister bought two tickets as a surprise on hour first night staying in Budapest. It was definitely a ‘must’ when you’re there. Both the architecture and the atmosphere were breathtaking! Everyone except a few tourists were following the dress code. That’s why, we were also dressed elegantly for that night. The symphony orchestra’s performance took two hours excluding the half an hour break. I strongly suggest to experience this environment then you go to Budapest!

The Hungarian State Opera House in Budapest is a stunning venue that offers both guided tours and performances for a fee. Stepping inside, you're greeted by its grandeur and beauty, with marble columns and crystal chandeliers creating a magical atmosphere.

I suggest to visit it by night as is much more charming.

We did the opera tour, and it was awesome. They take you through several areas and rooms throughout the building and explain their purpose, history, and artwork/decoration. They then lead you to the balcony section, and eventually to the main seating area. Then they finish it all off with a mini performance from some of their artists. It was a great experience, and we highly recommend.

Karina Hanna — Google review
BEWARE: if you are going to a performance, BE ON TIME. They don’t let you in even if you arrive 6 minutes late (like I did). You can enter when the break is happening.
If you are on a budget and would still want to experience a performance of one of the best operas in the world, go to the office 2 hours before the show and buy a ‘standing ticket’ for only 5€. You have cushions tu lean on. But being standing up is worth it.
If you don’t want to feel excluded, wear something nice, opera-nice. But still you can attend with jeans and shirt, as I did.

The imposing St. Stephen's Basilica, built from 1851 to 1905, offers spectacular views of Budapest from its cupola. The building was damaged during World War II, but fortunately most of the mosaics that decorated its walls were saved. This popular attraction is dedicated to Hungary's holy king and the founder of the Hungarian state St. Stephen.
This is very beautiful basilica in center of town. It is one of the postcard image place of Budapest.There is no charge to see the Basilica, it is free of charge but you should give some donation. Also you can go on the top to have a panoramic view which cost you around 10 euro, there is an elevator. There are lots of good restaurant nearby

St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest is a magnificent architectural gem that left me in awe. The basilica's imposing dome, reaching a height of 96 meters, dominates the city's skyline and offers a visual treat for visitors. As I stepped inside, the grandeur of the interior took my breath away. The ornate decorations, intricate carvings, and stunning stained glass windows created a serene and majestic atmosphere.
One of the highlights of my visit was the chance to view the basilica's most precious relic, the mummified right hand of St. Stephen himself, the first king of Hungary. This sacred relic is housed in a beautifully adorned reliquary, and its significance adds a spiritual touch to the basilica's historical importance.
Climbing to the top of the dome was an unforgettable experience. The panoramic views of Budapest from the observation deck were simply breathtaking. I marveled at the stunning architecture of the city, with its iconic landmarks and the sweeping Danube River.
Exploring the basilica's interior was a captivating journey. The intricate details of the statues, altars, and frescoes were a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen. I enjoyed wandering through the various chapels, admiring the beautiful artwork and feeling a sense of peace and tranquility.
Overall, my visit to St. Stephen's Basilica was an absolute delight. The impressive dome, the sacred relic, the awe-inspiring views, and the opportunity to explore its magnificent interior made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend adding this architectural masterpiece to your itinerary when visiting Budapest.

ST. STEPHEN'S BASILICA
It is named in honor of Stephen, the first King of Hungary (c. 975–1038), whose right hand is preserved in the reliquary. The basilica features a Greek cross ground plan. While we didn't visit the interior of the church, we purchased tickets from the ticket office located across from the right side of the church and ascended to the exterior balcony encircling the church's dome, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding city. The steps to reach there are quite a few, but the experience is truly rewarding, especially as you reach the vast area beneath the external dome, where you can glimpse the interior dome of the church.

Such a stunning building. The ticket office is just off to the side. Expect to queue to buy your ticket. We bought the combined ticket which I recommend so you can get the fantastic views from the top. There are lifts to each part but you will have to climb a few stairs regardless. One of the most interesting things was St Stephen's hand kept in a case.

For sure, it is one of the most impressive buildings in Budapest and Europe. The outside is beautifully lightened during the night, and the details of its facade can be viewed during the daytime. In December, you'll also have the chance to visit one of Europe's most astonishing Christmas markets here. The inside is also a strong recommendation for all tourists. Usually, prices and waiting times are okay if you're not visiting during prime season.

Beautiful by day, beautiful by night. It's well worth paying to see the panoramic view, especially the sunset.
To go up, you have the option of a lift (there are two - with a long queue) and stairs. Be aware that there are a LOT of stairs and spiral staircases. Be prepared 🏋🏻♀️

Got the ticket for inside the church, treasury and terrace dome. The Full ticket is definitely worth it, inside is amazing and the terrace views are second to none on this side of the river. The treasury is less impressive and can be missed imo.. There's 307 steps and Further steps at the top so not suitable if you can't climb the steps

Es ist bisher die schönste Basilika welche ich gesehen habe. Der roter Marmor an den Wänden in Verbindung mit Gold, wirkt unglaublich! Das Altar und die Deckenmalerei ist wunderschön. Am besten sucht man sich einen Stuhl und bewundert von dort aus alles. Die Tickets kauft man online oder in einem Nebengebäude. Für Senioren und Kinder gibt es Nachlass. Absolute Empfehlung!

One of the Budapest must visits. Come early as it's very busy here. I suggest getting the rooftop combo package.
A striking basilica from outside, it's a great photo opportunity. Inside is mind blowing. Such beautiful and reverence. A true blessing to the almighty creator.
There are roped off spots for quiet prayer and reflection. Please take your hat off indoors. A group of Chinese tourists unfortunately showed a lack of respect by refusing to do so.
The treasure room is interesting with luxurious and historical relics from previous bishops.
The rooftop had great views on rainy or sunny days. It's worth the extra effort. You can take the lazy elevator or take the stairs like I did.
Combined ticket is 3500HUF or free for teachers

It's not a place to pray for free. The Basilica and its grandeur come with a price: 6,000 HUF. The church hall at a lower fee is worth the money, I think, unless you want to see the surrounding view at the top. The Treasury is composed of very ornate robes, monstrances, and paintings. Going down the spiral steps is not for the faint-hearted or weak knees. 4-man lift is available, but the queue is long. The view at the top of the dome is breathtaking. However, there's no need to pay this extra fee if you've already gone on the Budapest Eye. The church hall is impressive and quite popular with weddings. Its decor is breathtaking, and as with all Basilicas, it gives you that feeling that God actually resides there. If you want to light a candle, make sure you have the right coins as the paying boxes do not provide other methods of payment.

The view from the panoramic terrace is definitely worth the price of admission! You can see the entire city skyline from atop the basilica. I also saw the treasury, which had some very nice art, statues, and various Catholic accoutrements. The basilica itself has some beautiful architecture, finely detailed with statues of many saints and religious figures. I would say that anyone would find this place interesting. If you are a fan of architecture, history, or religion, it's a must-see.

If you're visiting Budapest, the Basilica is an absolute must-see. This stunning architectural marvel is not just a feast for the eyes but also offers an enriching cultural experience. The highlight for many visitors, including myself, is the organ concert held at 5 PM. The acoustics of the Basilica paired with the skilled organist create an unforgettable auditory experience that resonates deeply within the grand walls of this sacred space. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a lover of classical music, or simply seeking a serene and beautiful place to reflect, the Basilica in Budapest will not disappoint. I highly recommend scheduling your visit to coincide with the organ concert for an experience that is truly sublime.

Spectacular church, opulent from every angle. It is certainly worth a visit while in Budapest. The treasury is a little disappointing as it's very small..the view from the tower is impressive. Expect to take some 145 steps. However there is a lift (and toilets mid way up).
Like St Peters in Rome it is a masterclass in craftsmanship, and work that can be enjoyed by any regardless of faith.
A certainty for a visit while in Budapest.

The exterior looks beautiful and fits really well with the other buildings, and the interior is absolutely stunning. The design of the altar is very eye catching. I would definitely recommend coming here, even if you aren't religious.

We were so tired of walking all day and at the end we were almost not gonna enter here and skip it but it just made me forget all the fatigue I had. It was breathtakingly beautiful! I didn’t personally take the stairs all the way up to see the view but the inside was something I can admire all day long. Pay for that ticket and get in! ♥️
The Hungarian Parliament Building is an iconic landmark in Budapest and one of the oldest in Europe. It is home to the National Assembly of Hungary, and is one of the largest buildings in the whole of the country. The building is decorated with lavish Gothic Revival-style decorations and features a spectacular dome.
This is a truly beautiful Building, I can only imagine all the important history that this place has had. The grounds are fantastic and provide some breathtaking views. In my opinion the parliament building really comes to life in the night. I would also recommend taking an evening river cruise to see it at its full beauty.

Wonderful architecture in Europe! It is Budapest's most recognizable building. From every angle, it appeared magnificent. Stunning location with trees, gardens, and of course historical landmarks. The architecture is huge and quite detailed. Stunning view of the entire building. Although I was unable to enter, I was able to appreciate it from the outside.

This is one of the largest parliament buildings in the world as the Hungarians saw Westminster and wanted to make their own version but slightly larger and I believe it is actually bigger than Westminster by about 20 feet. I recommend seeing it at night though from a boat ride when it's lit up. It's really beautiful.

This is a very impressive building, outside and inside. I was really looking forward to visiting it. However, only a few sections are open to the public, and that was disappointing considering how big this place is. You are not allowed to take pictures of where the crown is, but the room is astonishing. Guides are very nice and knowledgeable. If you have a European passport, the entrance is about £12. If you don't, I think it's twice as that.
Aleksandra Baranska — Google review
Building is beautiful no matter which angle you see. The best time to visit is in the morning and late evening especially from the boat. You can also visit it from inside but only with the tour which lasts about 45minutes. Tour is organized in different language but needs to booked in advance if for English.

The Hungarian Parliament Building is an architectural masterpiece. Its grandeur and beauty are truly awe-inspiring. The intricate details and stunning design make it a must-visit landmark in Budapest.
The parliament building is truly stunning. I highly recommend taking a riverside walk to fully appreciate this spectacular landmark.
The nighttime view is absolutely stunning, especially when experienced through a boat trip.

One must book his/her ticket beforehand. It was my case but all tickets were sold out for spontaneous visitors. The visit is very nice but too short (in my opinion). Nonetheless, I was still grateful to have this opportunity to discover this important democratic place in Hungary.
Very famous and you immediately understand why.

Omg. One if the gorgeous buildings that I have ever seen before. This building is so perfect inside and out and during daytime and nighttime. You need to make a reservation to go inside and the normal price for an adult is 6400 ft but its worth it. You should definitely visit this place when you come to Budapest.

Stunning building, especially pretty at night when it lights up. I took a boat tour along the river and would reccomend it to see the sights along the riverside. Didn’t go inside but the outside is a stop that’s totally worth it in Budapest. Seagulls flying on top at night look like beautiful twinkling lights, magical!!

Very beautiful and magnificent structure.
We booked a English guided tour of the Hungarian Parliament Building which lasted for about an hour and half.
The tour was amazing and you get to know some interesting facts about the parliament building and Hungary history. This is really a must to go destination for Budapest.
Here are a few tips to know before you plan your trip for the Hungarian Parliament -
Try to book the tickets online from their official website well in advance (2-3 weeks in advance) since the tickets get sold out very quickly. For e tickets, you need to exchange your e tickets with the physical tickets.
Chances of getting a ticket on the spot from the ticket counter is very difficult. However, if you want to try, reach the ticket counter around 8 am in the morning (it's opening time) and you might get a few tickets for the day.
The ticket counter does not sell advance tickets. They only sell tickets available for that day only. Use online booking as much as possible and plan weeks in advance.
This will be a audio guided tour where in you receive a radio and a headphone. The tour is available in multiple European languages including English.
Please Note - You can buy the tickets with any language available for a time slot, once you enter inside, once you get the audio guided machine, you have the option to select the language of your choice. Thus contradicting the entire idea of slots based on languages.
Last but not the least, the tour is amazing.

It’s one of the must see places for sightseeing in Budapest. You can get great pictures from different perspectives. In my opinion, you should also see it with the amazing lights at night! Moreover, you can get a better view of pictures on the background of Parliament Building on the other side of the river.

Budapest most famous building. Huge and amazing Parliament with a stunning architecture. Unfortunately we were unable to get inside, therefore I recommend buying tickets online well before you decide to visit the Parliament. Worth a visit and definitely you can take some amazing pictures here.
Flet — Google review
One of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen. It is the third biggest Parliament house in the world and one of the most beautiful parliaments according to me.
Once you go inside there are some guided tours (approximately 45 minutes) that can provide you with useful information about the parliament and history. They are offered in many languages including English, German, Spanish, Italian, etc. It's good value for money at around 10 Euro.
Certainly it looks much better from outside it's massive and very photogenic. The area around it is very well designed & landscaped.
It’s very symmetrical and gigantic. You can not miss the sight from almost anywhere around the Danube from many kilometers. The inside view of this beautiful monstrous building is equally incredible. If you are in Budapest a visit is really a must. The night view from a far distance looks like a royal gigantic palace with a beautiful reflection in the pristine waters of Danube.

Visiting the Orszaghaz Building in Budapest is an experience that should not be missed. Its stunning architecture, rich history, and cultural significance make it an essential stop for any traveler seeking to immerse themselves in Hungary's past and present.
The main hall features a magnificent staircase that leads to various chambers and rooms filled with historical artifacts and artwork. The attention to detail in every room is remarkable, from the beautifully painted ceilings to the exquisite furniture.
Ajay Kumar — Google review
A spectacular sight and must see on an any visit. Highly recommended the tour where they take you around the parliament and you are given an audio guide to follow. You get to see the grand staircase and the guarded crown of Hungary. You also visit one of the legislative chambers. On the tour you get to learn about the history and design of the building and its influence. Recommend visiting inside and out. Lit up fabulously as night.

I’m obsessed with this building. Truly emblematic of the beauty and history in Budapest. Beautiful at day, sparkling at night. The tour is fantastic too. The room with the crown jewels is the real highlight! make sure you book your tour tickets in advance.

Thomas Rasmussen — Google review
This building is one of the most iconic sites in Hungary and, if you're not planning on going inside, I'd highly recommend coming at night (before 11PM). The parliament building is most beautiful when lit up at night. The banks of the Danube at night is beautiful and filled with many romantic couples walking and sitting on benches. I'd highly recommend going for a stroll at night.
Andy Z — Google review
This is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world, and for good reason. We had a guided tour here and were at times astonished with the excellence in workmanship that went into this building. If you love architecture, this is indeed a place to visit. Tickets should be booked well in advance, or you will simply miss out. It is that popular. There is also a tram passing around the building, and we found it easy to travel there. The parliament, furthermore, has a good souvenir shop, but a bit pricey. Do visit it, there are a few unique items to purchase. Should you happen to visit Budapest, this is definitely a must visit.
Kirsten van der Merwe — Google review
If you are visiting Budapest you can not miss the guided tour of this impressive building. Be sure to book the ticket in advance on the Lonely Planet guide suggested site, you can save 10€! We spent 17€ instead of 27€ of the official site. The ONE HOUR (with audioguide) tour will lead you throw the most beautiful rooms of the building, you will be impressed by the gold and rich decorations.
Bea Rimini — Google review
Beautiful on the outside and inside. I would highly recommend getting tickets weeks in advance. I tried getting tickets one week in advance and they were sold out but I was fortunate enough to book a tour that included the parliament tour. There are a bit of stairs but if you can’t walk up the several flights you can request to use the elevator. You can take pictures except when you enter the room to see the crown. You do need to retain your ticket for your entire tour as you need it it exit the tour.
The Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial commemorates the 3,500 people who were brutally murdered by Arrow Cross Party members during WWII. The bronze shoes that are scattered about the riverbank just a short distance away from the Hungarian Parliament Building make for a moving sight.
A very historical surreal experience. And it was lovely to walk down the whole Danube promenade where there are plenty of other statues too!
There are not scripts to tell you the story behind the shoes if you don’t already know. So googling the history is advised
Emma Hamilton — Google review
Nice location. Interesting story behind the shoes. Detailed metal work when looking at the shoes. This is a nice place to visit if you're local or a tourist. The views along the river bank are great and there is some amazing architecture! Worth a visit if you are ever in Budapest. Located right next to the parliament building.
Abel Everest — Google review
To get there you need to walk right on the edge of the river. We were there after a few days with heavy rain, which made it muddy 🤷🏻♀️ as there is no real pavement. Hope that in time they will build the beautiful promenade.
The memorial itself was heavily decorated with candles, flowers and traditional jewish materials. It is a beautiful memorial, sad, melancholic.
Would benefit from some lighting at night.

It could get very touching if you know the story behind this. Looking at the monuments could bring you back to the devastating moment. Along the street and river there were many nice architectural buildings, not to mention the parliament that took us in awe.

Heartbreaking- you can feel the terror and imagine the brutality. It is unimaginable how cruel and barbaric the Nazis and the eager evil Hungarian Iron Cross were, but this exhibit reminds us. Had my grandfather not left Budapest in 1921, our family would have surely been murdered as well.

It is a monument of a jewish victims in WWII. They ordered them to put off their shoes here. Definetly worth visiting and remember the victims. You can visit it for free walking by the Danube just in front of the Danube bank.

The Szechenyi Chain Bridge is a beautiful, historic bridge that spans the River Danube linking Buda with Pest. It was designed by William Tierney Clark and built by Scottish engineer Adam Clark, and it remains an iconic symbol of bringing people together. The bridge is particularly striking at night when it is illuminated withThousands of lightbulbs.
Yes, this architectural jewel is just as majestic as you have heard. The unique bridge that connects Buda and Pest is a must for photos and walks. The feeling of walking on something like that is amazing. Of course, don't forget to see it at night. It's great!
Travel That — Google review
This bridge has a very good presence connecting between two important pieces of land with its lions guarding its entrance and exit reflecting the power of good art that may take you to another level of amazement.
I enjoyed the place but I think it needs a small area of chairs with sun protection to better spend time at this amazing spot. You can see the parliament building and the fisherman castle from this location.
Ahmed Reda Donia — Google review
The "chain bridge" is undergoing reconstruction. What a pity, I would have loved to stroll over it. But there are other bridges over which you can cross the Danube - for example the "Elisabeth bridge". An impressive iconic bridge with stunning architecture.

For me this is the most beautiful bridge I have ever seen.
I’ve seen it by day and by night and I can say it was well taken care of it. I think the paint on the metalic parts was recently renewed.
The sculptures on it are nice, the lions that guard it at both ends are also giving a nice vibe. Also, when you go by boat under it is an interesting sensation.
A very nice landmark I could say.

My experience on Széchenyi Chain Bridge was nothing short of extraordinary. Its timeless beauty combined with its historical importance make it a must-visit attraction in Budapest. Whether you are strolling across it during daylight or admiring its illuminated splendor at night, this bridge will leave you with lasting memories and a deep appreciation for human ingenuity.
First and foremost, the bridge's design is truly breathtaking. The grandeur of its stone lions guarding each end and the intricate iron chains that hold it together are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its creators. Walking across this bridge feels like stepping back in time to an era when attention to detail and beauty were paramount

One of the iconic bridges in Europe, opened in November 1949. It is a chain suspension bridge and a monument that evokes Hungarian nationalist feeling of the mid-19th century and to Hungary's recovery from the destruction of the Second World War. A landmark, easily recognizable both day and night

Wiki:: The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a chain bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and built by Scottish engineer Adam Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary.

Absolutely magnificent! The lions, the views from it, the views it is in it, the walk on it, Great bridge. The only thing that could be better is if there are no vehicles and it's just pedestrian. But even now it's awesome. And the lights at night make it glow and shine in gold.

I’m not going to bore you it’s a bridge in Budapest connecting Buda and Pest, this bridge not only serves as a practical passageway but also offers stunning panoramic views of the Danube River and the cityscape.

The Famous Szénchyi Chain Bridge does all its talking. They built a humongous bridge holding onto chains, it's a top sight to watch in the day as well as night.
Major tourist attraction place where you'll find people walking & clicking themselves at loads of places, different bridge angles looking for spectacular views.

Várhegy, also known as Castle Hill, is a must-visit destination in Budapest. It offers fantastic views of the entire city and its surroundings. The area has undergone renovations, making it even more beautiful to explore during the day or evening when the buildings are illuminated. The gardens on Castle Hill are stunning and add to the overall charm of the place. The splendid architecture further enhances the beauty of this location.
(Translated by Google) Fantastic views of the entire Budapest from Castle Hill. The surroundings of the castle after renovation - beautiful! I recommend it not only during the day but also in the evening when the beautiful buildings are illuminated not only on the Castle Hill but also on the other side of the Danube: Parliament, Basilica, bridges ...

The Fisherman's Bastion is a beautiful fortress with lookout towers that offers panoramic views of the city. It was built in Roman style in 1895 and was damaged during World War II, but has since been restored.
This place was stunning! If you are a fan of architecture or Harry Potter this was something magical! If visiting in the winter like we did i would suggest you wear proper shoes as we wore trainers and was icy on some parts! Also it is very worth waking up early to visit this place with less tourists about.

It's like a dream😴💭. Amazing beauty. The best place after Hungarian Parliament is the Fisherman's Bastion. Free. No charges. You can have a great view of Danube & Budapest. Great place to click photos not only of views but also of yours. Loved. Nearby good eating joints. Spend at least half day here.

This is a really pretty place to visit, it does feel a little like a fairytale as there's quite a number of spires. You can visit the church as well as the bastion itself. There are some great views of the city from here and is quite a romantic setting (if it's quiet). Nonetheless, its picturesque views offer great photo opportunities and is not one to miss if you like that.

A very nice place to visit for free. You can take very nice pictures there. There are some shops and coffee places, but they are always full. The best part is Matthias Church with its beautiful roof (this can be accessed by payment only). There are plenty of places to sit, and there are some toilets but you need to pay for them.

The architecture of this landmark is truly stunning. It takes you back to the monarchic times. It provides probably one of the best views of the city. If you want to avoid the crowd, go there early (before 10 AM), otherwise, you might need to wait for a good photo spot. But the best lights are around sunset (and obviously the place is packed at that time)

Fisherman's Bastion is located at height. You can go by stairs. Or take the funicular from the starting point.

Not to miss: this the place, which you do not want to miss when visiting Budapest...it's very high on the hill with lots of stairs, if you search on Google maps it's recommends you to take stairs, and not many people are aware but a bus goes up to the Bastion...and it drops you right at the spot..no need to take single stairs. It's such a beautiful place with a mesmerizing view over the City Budapest...I would highly recommend to go there...it's an experience to be there...:)

The castle and fisherman’s bastion is right beside one another - It’s a visitors main attraction spot, but I most say extremely hassle free. I’ve travelled a lot, and most tourist attractions have creepy men trying to sell you items, or stick tacky bracelets on your arm then ask for money. Here none of that happens at all. You can walk around freely which is nice. Which should be the Norm to do anyways - but I found it good. Not too overwhelming (again this might depend on the time you go). February not that busy, and in the evenings very quiet. My apartment was close by, the views are spectacular. The downside you’ll see just LOADS AND LOADS of phones all over the place, in your face, in your space 😂 when are we ever gonna live in the moment 🤷♀️ you can see Budapest city from here. Look it’s definitely nice to see, to get into this little castle you’ve to pay a fee but you’re basically paying to see all these “travel bloggers and insta” people taken up the entire balconies 🫡

Very pretty. Shops locally and very expensive chimney pastry stalls €10 for one 😳). Can use scooters up here but check parking as we had to walk all the way back down to find parking or lose minutes. Restaurants up top. Areas to visit have to pay for them all about €3. Great views of the city.

Beautiful architecture, it is honestly impressive even more so during a sunny day! Reaching the bastion is quite easy by foot. However, as it stands on a hill, it can be quite steep at times (there are a lot of stairs, too!). It does have good bus connections (bus no.16 takes you straight to the main square).
I would recommend going to the bastion not only for the amazing view of Budapest but also for the tour of the underground caves as it's really interesting!

A nice place offering a good view over the city! A bit overhyped on social media but definitely worthy of visiting. Can be crowded as it is a very touristy place but the exteriors of the church and the other architecture is pretty

Absolutely breathtaking place. Stunning views to the city and river. Be aware that the place itself and the Cafe that you can find nearby are pretty crowded.

Great visit here, atmosphere was fabulous and the views of the city and river were excellent. We took the electric buggy taxi up, a fun way to arrive.
Food and drink available, make sure you have change for the toilet!.

Beautiful panoramic viewing terrace with fairy tale towers in Budapest. Incredible points of view that will inspire a creative photographic eye to take & make photo masterpieces. Take an opportunity to play with marvelous sights and inspire others with your photos.
Starbucks is located at the top, where you can refresh and sharpen your mind.
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit all connected architectures in this area. Gothic style Matthias Church is one of them.

We visited during the day, dusk, and night, and each time was amazing.
There’s something truly special about this place; it feels very magical. The views are stunning too.
My favorite time was 7 pm, just as the sun was setting (in April), as there weren’t many people around, and it was beautiful. It’s lovely during the day as well, but it can get crowded, so if you prefer fewer people, evening and nighttime are better.
It’s really worth seeing at different times of the day as it makes Budapest look even prettier.

It’s definitely a must see location in Budapest. You get a great view of Danube River, chain bridge and the parliament building on the background of your photos. At some locations, you need to pay but there are many other ways to enjoy it out there with free entry mostly.

This is very popular place in city and one can get a good panoramic view of pest side. This place has a small park, where you can just sit and relax.
Opt to come bit early in time while the day starts (before 9AM) to beat the crowd and get good photograph for memories.
The Matthias Church is a medieval church located in the Fishermens Bastion district of Budapest. The church has undergone several rebuilds and renovations, most notably between 1874 and 1896 when it was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style by Frigyes Schulek. The church features brightly coloured tiles on its roof, intricate painted interiors, and architectural splendor.
An amazing place, and an even better view from the top of the tower! Entrance tickets are purchased at the box office across from the church, there are several tours a day. There are 197 steps to the top and you go with a guide who speaks in English and the local language. Also, there are many seating areas around the church where you can enjoy the beautiful view. Don't miss out if you're in Budapest!

A truly unique church in Europe. Not too grand, but also not small. The church is beautifully decorated with patterns usually not seen in other churches. Very hard to believe that this was once a mosque. Exterior tower is nice. Went for a High Mass service to get the full effect of the worship space - truly stunning. As a tech geek, I was impressed to see a transparent screen used to display the words to the hymns, readings, and sermons. Don’t forget to visit the side chapels.
Great surroundings as well, a must for tourists.

Magnificent church. Very beautiful and impressive. lots of beautiful and breathtaking details. I loved every single corner of it. inside the church you can see some valuable objects too. The paintings and ceiling craftsmanship were amazing.

Tickets for entry are across the plaza, with an optional extra ticket for going up the tower (around 300 steps).
Architecturally aesthetic church that’s worth a visit if you’re religious or just want a quick sightsee. It takes about 30 minutes to see everything inside and while the displays show more about the history of the church, it’s all pretty similar to other touristy churches, so it can be boring for some.

Wow, what an amazing church and in a beautiful area too . I came to Budapest specifically to visit St Stephens Basilica and left totally confused .There are so many lovely churches here, and this one is right up there .
The beautiful roof reminded me of St Stephens Cathedral in Vienna and inside just got even more beautiful .
It may be me being not very travelled and a bit thick but this must be a one off . It is stunning and I left awestruck .
I was lucky enough to be treated to a very talented young man playing a beautiful piece on the organ . He was great a real star in my opinion .
Personally I loved the pulpit and a sort of telescopic Lamb of God window it was great .

Will give place a 4.5.
One of the most popular places in Budapest. Go early as it gets crowded with bus loads of visitors by 10am.
Photo opportunities are aplenty outside but wait till you walk through the entrance. The interior is magnificent. One of the most well decorated we have ever visited.
The tour inside is also well routed and planned by the management. 👏. There was only a small crowd inside and our cameras never stopped snapping. 😂
The relics and displays were awesome and colourful.
Entrance to Matthias is 2900 HUF/adult. Super reasonable and really worth the effort.
To get here, there’s a steep climb up some well paved walkway. For those who are physically challenged, there is a bus to go up. Right to the door steps, literally.
Don’t miss this place if you are in Budapest.

The most beautiful church in Hungary, they say. And one of the most beautiful I've ever visited, and trust me I've seen a few and the best around Europe! Easily beats some very heavy names out there! Very warmly decorated, really good vibes, the balconies and the upper level tour a super plus! Stunning to say the least.

Wonderful architecture, the top tiles are colorful are unique for that place. The inside acoustic is awesome, the person in charge of the piano played a piece in the organ, it literally blew our mind. The museum, collection of seals, artifacts, treasures are interesting.

Spectacularly well maintained church.
If you’re lucky, there will be live music when you are visiting and you get to enjoy the amazing acoustics of the building.
This is in a very well visited part of budapest so if you want to get a private moment alone, you will want to come early before the crowds show up. Afternoons are not recommended for this reason.
Set aside an hour so you can do justice to this church.

The church is a work of art! Exquisite architecture, amazing details! Makes you wonder why our civilisation regressed.. Go there and see the beauty of it! It's one of the best in the world without a doubt! Tip: Go see it by night, less crowded, and beautifully lit

Matthias Church in Budapest is a true masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Its awe-inspiring facade, adorned with intricate details, captivates from afar. Once inside, the interior's grandeur and historic significance unfold. The vibrant stained glass windows and ornate decorations transport visitors to another era. Ascending the tower rewards with panoramic views of the city. The church's role in Hungarian history adds depth to the visit. While its exterior is a marvel, the interior's spiritual ambiance and historical resonance make Matthias Church a must-see, embodying Budapest's cultural and architectural splendor.

A great part of Hungary, was very peaceful and quiet here. You can pay a small price to go in to the church and have a look around which I would recommend due to the beautiful architecture. You can pay a small price and climb the tower which I would recommend, you may struggle this if you are older and scared of heights. I think it is 197 steps tall with fantastic views all over Budapest.

Amazing church built in Gothic fashion. It is more beautiful from the inside, and has very unique architecture and design. The small fee you pay to visit the inside is worth the experience. There are several info placards inside that guide and inform you about the history of the church. Museum is accessible up the stairs and included in the ticket. Visit inside the church is a must.

The ins and out of this magnificent gothic style church are forth visiting and paying the entrance ticket for. We arrived right before it opened and were able to take photos without the crowds. They offer guided tours in English with an actual guide or you can follow on your phone via an app. Inside you can go to the tower, up around 100 steps. You can also observe some royal pieces.

One of the most beautiful and unique church architectures I've ever seen, from outside and inside. You need to buy a ticket to go inside, but it is totally worth it. In front of the church there is the fisherman's bastion, creating a nice and beautiful atmosphere. Totally recommended to visit!

Stained glass windows and the airy heights of a church? Let there be light and good golly what a sight.
Though its small and quaint, it has many artifacts and a wholesome ambience. Attendants were very nice and helpful.

Beautiful church set in the fisherman's bastion area over looking the river Danube. You can buy tickets from the kiosk across from the church less than a minute's walk. There is a dress code, so make sure you look at the signs to make sure you are dressed properly.

A beautiful church on a hill with adorable surrounding streets. The church has a wonderful architecture and looks like something from a fairy tale. Around the church is a beautiful square, a park and the rest of the fortress, which is very photogenic.

Beautiful church, tickets are reasonably priced. The museum (which is inside the church) is included with the base ticket to the church. I really liked all the paintings and tapestries. I recommend you to visit it in the morning, because there are not that many people.

We have been here in January 2024. It’s so sensational! The Matthias Church is located on Trinity Square in the Castle District on the Buda side of the city in the Fishermen's Bastion section. The Matthias Church - officially the Church of Our Lady (Nagyboldogasszony-templom) - was the first church on the Schlossberg. It is also registered as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. I can highly recommend a tour here!

We went when it was raining which made the tile roof look especially attractive. The outside of the church is right next to Fisherman’s Bastion. The inside has a lot to offer. Multiple levels, amazing stained glass and relics from the church’s past. It also has a great gift shop that sells umbrellas so being as we didn’t have any it was a little miracle they did!

Background:
It was built in 1015, original name was The Church of Mary/The Church of Our Lady, destroyed/reconstructed many times and two kings of Hungary were crowned here.
I can review only the exterior of the church, since my 48hrs. Budapest Card is not acceptable for the moment.
A lot of tourists like me queueing the line just to get inside.
Some of them, just want to see the church especially the colored tile roof.
The updated church is styled and restored in Neo-Gothic.
Recommendable to visit this place and if you have an extra pocket, better to see inside the church.

Such a beautiful church. Well worth the entry price that you need to pay at the ticket booth outside. Both the interior and exterior are truly special. Make sure to get there well before 5pm as this is when it closes.

Our visit to Matthias Church in Buda was truly captivating. The church's stunning architecture, adorned with beautiful colors, seamlessly weaves together the history of the church and Budapest, creating a rich narrative.
Ascending the tower was a highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Budapest. While the view was amazing, it's worth noting that there's no elevator, requiring visitors to ascend by stairs. The effort is rewarded with an unparalleled perspective of the city.
Exploring the intricate designs and colors of the church's roof added another layer of appreciation. Matthias Church is undoubtedly a must-visit in the Castle District and Buda, providing a memorable blend of history, art, and panoramic beauty.

An absolute spectacle to feast your eyes with. It is easy to reach the temple with bus and it absolutely worth to see .The church takes you to different era makes you feel like you are in the Medieval ages the architecture the paintings . A trully fascinating spectacle which words cant describe. The ticket to enter is about 15€ for adults although it is open until seven o'clock. There are several subsection to explore and read about the history and the role it served shaping the history of the Hungarian nation. It is easily in top 5 places to visit in Budapest !
