Hi, I am a university student in UK and hoping to join the tour. May I check if my university ID from UK is accepted? Do I need to bring another form of ID that shows my age (it is not printed on my student ID)?
Hello Esu,
Thank you for checking before visiting the castle area.
International Student ID’s are accepted, you can also present a copy of your ID or passport along with it.
Hope we can welcome you at Buda Castle Budapest!

We have 2 children- 11 and 14 yaers old. Is ti problem that the younger one is not 12 years old? We would all like to go ona a night tour. Also, they are stil in elementary school, they don’t have students ID. What should we do about that?
Kind regards,
Vedrana
