Budapest is home to many truly magical places, and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the fairytale world once you reach the Buda side. Some of the dreamiest spots in the entire city are located on Castle Hill, and these three transformed it into one of Budapest’s busiest areas.

Buda Castle

Buda Castle once served as a royal palace, and it still looks as spectacular as it did during that time. You’ll discover many amazing things while roaming its grounds, and the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum are two of its most popular attractions.

Fisherman’s Bastion

Budapest is home to many buildings that look straight out of fairy tales, but none of them compares to Fisherman’s Bastion. This Neo-Romanesque fortress was built in the 19th century, and its lookout terraces and towers offer the best possible views of the Hungarian capital.

Matthias Church

Matthias Church has been around since the 14th century and it remains one of the largest and most historically significant churches in Budapest. This Gothic church will win you over with its intricately decorated walls and colorful domes, and you should consider checking out the Ecclesiastical Art Museum during your visit.
