Step back in time with a 2-hour Buda Castle evening walking tour, where your guide unveils history and folklore of wars and vampires of Old Hungary.

Your experience

A twilight escapade

Nestled on a Budapest hill, the 13th-century Buda Castle is a time machine to the past. Join a local guide, a master of Hungarian legends, on an unforgettable 2-hour evening walking tour. As you face the castle, its terracotta roofs, soaring towers, and sweeping arches will sweep you off your feet. Beyond its walls lie ornate staircases, majestic halls, and opulent chambers.

Engage in a mix of history and folklore

Dressed in Gothic attire, your guide will unveil dark tales from the 15th to the 17th century when the Ottoman Empire invaded the region, leading to conflicts and power struggles. Brace yourself for chilling stories of Elizabeth Bathory, the 'blood countess' who murdered numerous young women, and the Romanian prince Vlad Dracula, who impaled enemies on a sharp stake and ended up in the castle's prison. With a lantern illuminating your path through the castle's eerie streets and mysterious corners, your guide will share folklore of vampires that once haunted these streets of Hungary. Don't miss the enchanting Buda's Castle district after dark, filled with hidden gems and the famous Fisherman's Bastion, offering panoramic views of the 'Pearl of the Danube'.

Walk through the bloody 15th-17th centuries of Hungarian history as your Gothic-attired guide leads you through Buda Castle for a 2-hour evening tour.
Uncover chilling tales of the 15th-century ruler Vlad Dracula, who impaled enemies, and Elizabeth Bathory's cruel murders at this World Heritage site.
Let a lantern take you through the castle's grand courtyards, ornate facades, and dark chambers as your guide shares legends of vampires and war.
Witness the magical aura of Buda's Castle district after dark, wander its charming streets, and ascend the Fisherman's Bastion for a 360° city view.
Fun fact: Buda Castle has been the setting for several films and TV series, including 'I Spy' and 'The Amazing Race'.
