You can see the most important sights of the Buda side during this four hour long tour, focusing on the Castle District and the Gellert Hill. I recommend this program those who have only a short time or want to explore the city alone and need just an orientation. During such a city tour you can decide what you want to see more thoroughly, where you want to go back or you can simply measure the distances.
- The Fishermen's Bastion is one of the best known monuments in Budapest, located in the Buda Castle, in the 1st district of Budapest. It is one of the most important tourist attractions due to the unique panorama of Budapest from the Neo-Romanesque lookout terraces.
- Matthias Church: The Buda Parish Church of Our Lady, more commonly known as the Matthias Church , is a Roman Catholic church located on the Holy Trinity Square, Budapest, in front of the Fisherman's Bastion at the heart of Buda's Castle District.
- Buda Royal Palace is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest. It was first completed in 1265, but the massive Baroque palace today occupying most of the site was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Buda Castle sits on the southern tip of Castle Hill, surrounded by the touristic area known as Várnegyed (Castle Quarter), which is famous for medieval, Baroque and Neoclassical houses, churches, public buildings and monuments. The castle is a part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, so declared in 1987.
- A spectecular view on Budapest from the Citadel.
- St. Gellert Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool: The Gellért Thermal Bath is the most famous spa in the city of Budapest. The building with the indoor and outdoor pools, completed in 1918, is one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in the city.
