Itinéraire
Deux bâtiments se détachent de la colline du château, la partie la plus ancienne de Budapest, connue pour ses rues étroites et pavées et ses façades baroques et gothiques: son imposant palais à la pointe sud de la colline et le toit coloré de l'église Matthias au centre. , avec son clocher de rang pointant vers le ciel.
Nous commençons notre visite au palais, ancien siège du pouvoir royal. Il a été reconstruit, agrandi, changé, brûlé et reconstruit à plusieurs reprises. Ses apparences éclectiques actuelles ne se sont manifestées qu'après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le roi Béla IV fut le premier à construire sur la colline du château. Il érigea une forteresse à cet endroit vers 1250 après une invasion dévastatrice par des hordes mongoles. À la Renaissance, le roi Matthias en fit la cour la plus célèbre d'Europe à la fin du XVe siècle. Viennent ensuite les pachas turcs qui ont dirigé le pays pendant plus de 150 ans, suivis par une succession d’empereurs Habsbourg.
Discutez de la fonction changeante du bâtiment tout au long de son histoire.
Le palais de Sándor est la résidence officielle du président de la Hongrie et le siège du bureau du président. Depuis 2003, le palais d'origine a été construit dans un style néo-classique. Il a été commandé par le comte Vincent Sándor, aristocrate et philosophe de l'empire austro-hongrois.
L'église Matthias avec son toit abondamment décoré et son intérieur étonnant constitue l'un des points forts de la visite. L'église est une reconstitution fantaisiste de reconstruction néogothique très bien exécutée de la fin du 19ème siècle. C'est un bâtiment d'une beauté saisissante.
Le Bastion des Pêcheurs est un fantasme architectural de styles néo-gothique et néo-roman conçu et construit entre 1895 et 1902. Ses sept tours représentent les sept tribus magyares qui se sont installées dans le bassin des Carpates à la fin du IXe siècle. La terrasse offre l'une des vues panoramiques les plus célèbres sur le Danube, l'île Marguerite, Pest et la colline de Gellért.
Notre visite se termine à la porte de Vienne, d'où vous pouvez voir jusqu'à Obuda (Old Buda), où les Romains ont fondé la ville qui s'appelait alors Aquincum.

Last Saturday we did this tour. Led by our guide Eszter. We were the only ones on this tour, so it was a private tour. This allowed Eszter to give all the attention to our questions. Eszter knows a lot about the history and that gave us a good idea of the area and the city. Also nice that we witnessed a historic moment together with her (the road past the residence of the president that had been reopened after 16 years). I can recommend this tour to everyone if you want to know more about Budapest.
Hartelijk dank voor de fantastische recensie. We zijn erg blij dat u van uw reis heeft genoten. We hopen u te mogen verwelkomen op een andere Insight Cities-reis in Praag, Berlijn, Boedapest, Wenen of Salzburg. Goede reis!
Well worth it. Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable There were only four in our tour group he was able to adapt tour to our interest.
Thank you so much for the great feedback. We'll definitely pass that on to your guide. Safe travels.
Absolutely terrific. Judith was above wonderful . Friendly, knowledgeable and even helped us figure out the public transportation system. She went above and beyond. Thank you Viacom Tor sending her to us.
Thanks for the warm feedback. That makes our day. And thanks for recommending Insight Cities tour to your friends traveling to Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and Salzburg. Safe travels!
Gergely (Gregory), our Buda Castle tour guide was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the castle, the history of Budapest and his home country, Hungary, as well as about the world and life in general. He was thoughtful about making the tour fit our needs and interests. My wife and I would highly recommend this tour and especially Gregory.
Thank you for taking the time to review. We're proud to work with such terrific guides. Hope to see you again on Insight Cities tours in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg. Please tell your friends!
Absolutely loved this tour with our tour guide, Kata! She did an amazing job showing us many interesting aspects of the Buda Castle district. This was by far one of the best tours that we took in Budapest! We got great value for our money. Greatly recommend this tour and especially Kata as the tour guide!
Thank you for taking the time to review. We're proud to work with such terrific guides. Hope to see you again on Insight Cities tours in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg. Please tell your friends!
Super disappointed with this tour. Really didn't learn much at all, and didn't seem like our tour guide, Valeria was very passionate for what she was doing. She would point to things and more/less say you can go visit these places later. We could hardly hear what she was saying and that's standing close to her. She used a little speaker thing that hung around her neck, but again really couldn't hear. Seems like she also always stopped at places that were noisy to talk (ie, a band playing loudly in the background, church bells going off. Would have been better if she stood elsewhere to deliver what ever she had to say). I felt it was a total waste of our time, and I have been on free walking tours before that have been wonderful. PS. the 2nd sentence out of her mouth when we met her is how we should tip, that was a turn off to address right out of the shoot.
While we're sorry to read of your bad experience, we need to inform you that did not tour with our company. You mention in your review that you took a free walking tour. Our tours are not free but prepaid. We don't have any guide named Valeria on our team and none of our guides would ever ask for tips! You have left a review for the wrong company. We only wish that you had booked with us since we are proud of the consistent, excellent, deeply insightly and knowledgeable tours we offer. Best -- Insight Cities Team
We had a great experience on our walking tour of Buda with Kata. She was full of historical information and blended what we were seeing on our walk with the history of the area. Additionally we visited many sites (e.g. art exhibit, hidden memorials) which we never would have found on our own. Highly recommend.
We're so glad you had a wonderful tour with Kata! She is truly a fantastic guide. Thanks for your review!
We had a great walking tour around the Buda Castle district. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and was actually from the Buda district. We were even shown his Grandmother's house and learned the story behind the scene. Very friendly and informative tour. I'd highly recommend it.
Thanks very much! We hope to see you on another Insight Cities tour in the future!
This was such an amazing tour. Kata was the most educational guide we have had in a long time. We really felt like we absorbed the culture and we learned so much. It truly was a great experience and made our vacation so much better.
Thank you so much. We're glad Kata was able to make your time in Budapest so memorable. Safe travels! Insight Cities
Áron Mozes is my go-to Budapest tour guide because of his knack for engaging my overseas visitors and also myself, a resident ex-pat, in the ongoing transformation of his fascinating country from ancient times to the present. This tour of the Buda Castle district focused on the historically important defensive role of this hill on the Buda side of the Danube and revealed the backstories of the most prominent features and of hidden corners as well. This was a very authentic, interactive experience—highly recommended!
