Its a fun area to walk around. we didnt go into the castle. It will also be nice in the spring and summer as there is a big park around it. Just one tip: avoid the sellers of mulled wine just in...

What an amazing place. We really enjoyed the view of the buildings. A lot of great architectural elements can be seen at this location. Photos say all.

The castle , park and surrounding is a must do in Budapest. The park is very calming, the castle is beautiful. It is very closes to the thermal baths. I'd recommend you spend a morning around the castle and the park. Get to the the fine art museum, and finish up relaxing in the thermal baths.

The castle was really beautiful. Many great spots to take pictures. We did not visit the museum inside because it was closed at the time we were there however the entire courtyard is free to explore. A must when visiting Budapest!

I recommend you to visit this part of Budapest. It is close to Heroes Square and Szechenyi Thermal Bath, with beautiful nature and buildings. Relaxing walk around the park with museum and various attraction. Very vibrant with great atmosphere and nice for taking photos.

It was the first time when I visited Budapest and I liked this place so much! It looks amazing and you can go for free for seeing it outside. There are a lot of different castles there and all of them looks unique.

S really beautiful medieval castle, right near the Zoo. The park around it is clean, big and generally a nice place to hang out and enjoy some calm and peace in the middle of the city! There's a museum in the castle, so history lovers will like it!
