Is there any way we could please book to do the Night Castle Tour on Sunday 8th April. We can’t do it on the website. It is for 2 people.
Hello Neil,
thank you for contacting us.
The Castle Night Tour is a 2 hour tour which runs Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays throughout the year. It does not run on Saturdays, I am afraid.
Did you want to do the booking for 8 April (Saturday) or for tomorrow?
Waiting for your kind reply.
Hello Neil,
booking for tomorrow is now possible on https://budacastlebudapest.com/mystery-history-in-buda-castle-night-tour/
Looking forward to your reservation.
Sorry, I am the first time to be at Budapest. I may want to join the tour at 27/12 or 28/12. As I know that the public transport will be run under year-end schedule during these 2 days. May I know how can I come / leave before and after the tour at night ? Thanks
Dear Moonie,
the Night Tour ends at 11pm. Luckily the Castle Bus (bus no. 16) is running until 11.47 pm every night, so you will be able to leave the Castle area after the tour.
The tours is from 9pm to 11 pm right ?
May i know where will be the gathering place of the tour ? I can also take bus No. 16 to get there ?
Thanks
Hello Moonie,
thank you for getting back to us.
Yes, the Night Tour is from 9 pm to 11 pm.
Meeting point: at the Statue of the Zero Kilometre Stone near the Funicular at the foot of the Buda Castle Hill (Buda side of the Chain Bridge).

I hope I could be of help.
How far is castle from parliament? Is it possible to finish the parliament tour of 45 mins, have lunch and then reach the castle?
Hello Satyajit,
Thank you for your comment.
The Parliament and Buda Castle is approx a half an hour – 40min walk (through Chain Bridge).
We recommend taking a bit more exta time as the way is filled with amazing photo opportunities.
Have a nice holiday in Budapest!
Will we have time to take photo for the beautiful night view of Budapest during this tour ?
Dear Charlie,
of course, you will have the opportunity to take photos, just let the tour guide know when you would like to stop.

Dear Buda Castle Team,
From where does this tour start?
Also from Holy Trinity Square, so the same place as the day tour?
I also have a question about the student price.
We are two 22 year old actively enrolled students, is that sufficient to pay the student price?
Many thanks!
Regards,
Jesse
Dear Jesse,
The meeting point of the Castle Night Tour is at the Statue of the Zero Kilometre Stone near the Funicular at the foot of the Buda Castle Hill (Buda side of the Chain Bridge), on Clark Adam Square.
Yes, you can buy a student ticket, but please make sure you will have a valid student ID card with you to show upon arrival.
Many thanks for your reply!
Hello,
Is there any way possible to do the night tour of Buda Castle tonight? There are 2 of us. We’re from Canada, and it’s our only night in Budapest.
Thank you,
Diana
Hello Diana,
thank you for your comment.
I am afraid, this 2 hour tour runs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays throughout the year.
Why not try a fantastic night cruise instead?

Hello there,
I would like to ask what’s the difference between public night tour and private night tour.
Thank you in advance,
Mary
Dear Mary,
thank you for contacting us regarding Night Tours in the Buda Castle in Budapest.
The difference between public and private tours is that in case of a private tour you have your own guide booked solely for you. Furthermore the route can be customized to your preferences if you wish.
Have a great stay in the Hungarian capital!
Dear Sir, dear Madam
I am part of a non-profit organisation group of 23 students between the age of 13 to 20, and two responsibles from Luxembourg.
We will be on a cultural visit in Budapest from the 7th to the 10th of April.
Would it be possible to get a group price?
What day is best to do the Buda Castle Night Tour Booking – Buda Castle?

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
Hello Vedrana
thank you for getting in touch with us.
Student tickets: it is fine for children to join for the Student rate without their student ID’s (this applies for children under 16 years of age).
The tour is suitable for children over 8 years old / with parental guidance.
Hope we can welcome you at the Buda Castle Night Tour!
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!
Dear Esu,
Thank you for contacting us.
International student IDs and accepted. Have a wonderful winter holiday in Budapest!
Thanks! Can I check if there are any overlaps between this tour and the Tour? I am trying to decide the two and would love to hear any recommendations
Meant to ask about the Budapest: Buda Castle Walking Tour with St. Stephen’s Hall tour
