Red Hedgehog House is the oldest house of the city. Nicholas Tower is part of Hotel Hilton currently as well as Dominican Courtyard, where we can enter. Medieval parts of monasteries were incorporated into the modern hotel building.

11:30 AM

Mathias Church and Fishermen's Bastion

Most spectacular building of castle district is the church with the Fishermen's Bastion behind, offering breathtaking view to the city.

12:00 PM

Carmelite Monastery, Alexander Palace

Carmelite Monastery was converted into a theatre already in the 18th century. Currently it is the headquarter of the prime minister.

Although Alexander Palace currently houses the offices of president of Hungary, there are really strange stories about the 19th century owner.

12:30 PM

Funicular, Royal Palaces

This funicular was the 2nd one in Europe. In the Royal Palaces no king or queen has ever lived. Why? You will learn during the walk. Anyway both offer another breathtaking panorama.

Ending Point

Holy Trinity Square, in front of Mathias Church
