Introduction

Buda Castle is a grand royal palace high on Castle Hill overlooking the Danube—a vast castle complex once the palace of Hungarian kings, witness to Budapest's deep history and a great vantage over the Danube and the whole city. Buda Castle (Castle Palace) towers atop Castle Hill on the Buda side, one of Budapest's most majestic, important historic buildings. Once the palace of Hungarian kings, founded in the Middle Ages and through long, eventful history (war damage, rebuilds), it witnessed centuries of dynastic rise and fall—a core stage of Hungarian history. The grand complex is majestic and gorgeous: grand palace buildings, long facade, striking dome. Today it houses cultural institutions—the Hungarian National Gallery and Budapest History Museum. The whole Castle Hill area, with old streets, Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion, is a well-preserved historic district (World Heritage). From the castle heights you can overlook the magnificent Danube and Pest.
