Hello!
I have received only a confirmation email without the voucher.
How can I obtain the voucher?
thank you!
Dear Boryana,
The confirmation email itself acts as your digital voucher (no voucher is attached to this email). Please print it out and take it with you to the tour, or show it on your mobile phone.
Do we need to purchase a ticket if we will only tour the inside of the Castle building itself but not intend to enter the National Gallery and History Museum? if yes how much for adult? thank you
Dear Amadeo,
I’m afraid all of the buildings of the Royal Palace are the home of the museum, the gallery and the National Library (which also has its entrance fee). Basically, inside the wings / buildings of the Castle itself there is no free entry, unless you have purchased a Budapest Card.
That said, the outdoor courts of the Castle, with the statues, fountains, etc. are free to visit (outside, but within the big metal gates of the Buda Castle building area). I hope it makes sense.
Also, the area, neighbourhood of the Buda Castle is great to visit, with lots of further attractions and lovely houses, living history.
Thank you for your understanding.
is the Castle handicap assessable?
Dear Raymon,
I’m afraid the public tours are not suitable for wheelchair users, as there are some parts in the Castle District that are not accessible. However, most of the attractions are wheelchair accessible.
Hello!
It is written that visitors can visit the courts. My question is if this includes enetring inside the main buding.
Hello Izabel,
thank you for your email.
Please kindly note that the buildings of the Buda Castle are currently occupied by museums (the National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum).
You can only enter the museums with a valid entry ticket.
I hope I could be of help.
Me and 9 other my friends going to visit Budapest in October, we have a great concern about Halal food. Please guide me and also send me a 4 days itinerary of Budapest.
Hello Usman,
thank you for your email.
I am afraid, we can only help you with organizing Buda Castle tours.
I am sorry I could not be of more help this time.
Good afternoon,
