This is a wonderful walking tour that will allow you to discover the old area of Buda especially Buda Castle. It is one of the most visited areas in the city due to its rich, historical places of interest starting from the emblematic Matthias Church, having an amazing panoramic view to the river Danube from the Fishermen Bastion and other interesting places. The castle is a part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, so declared in 1987.
