It is more than the castle itself as the whole district is named „Castle”. Its absolutely worth a walk as a magnificent panorama of the city can be enjoyed either from the right tower (in front of the National Gallery), or from the Fishermen’s Bastion (in front of Mathias church). Not only the streets and squares of downtown Pest, but also the Castle hill, the Citadel and the other Buda hills are visible. In the right tower the largest bell of the country - weighs 9 tons - can be found.
Get there: by bus 12 from Deák Ferenc tér, get off at Dísz tér, follow the map and discover nature carved in stones (about 2 hours walk)
Fun fact: Discover which animal statues are the most frequent ones! Hint: the bastion is named
after fishermen who used to live in that part of the district and were on duty when they had to
protect the castle from the enemy at the point where the bastion stands. No, such a beautiful building was never even meant to be used in wars ;)
Food: Ruszwurm conditory
Szabó conditory with marzipan statues (next to the Fishermen's Bastion)
