What sort of identification do you need for your senior discounts, will a photo copy of your passport be sufficient. Myself and wife will be in Budapest in April 2020 and would appreciate any information you could give. I am 71 and my wife is 68 years of age.

Dear John,
Thank you for contacting us regarding senior discounts in the Buda Castle Budapest.
Yes, showing a photo copy of your passport on entering the museums inside the Castle is sufficient to purchase discounted (or free) tickets. Please just make sure your date of birth and your nationality reads well on the copy.
For EU citizens over 70 years of age admission is free to both museums. EU citizens between 62-70 years of age enjoy a 50% discount on both entries.
Hope I could help.
Have a great Castle visit in Budapest!

Hello,
We are visiting Budapest with our daughters, the older one (21) is in a wheelchair.
I’d like to know if she can visit the castle. Also, if she’s entitled to a discounted fare
Tank you
Dear Fina,
Thank you for your inquiry.
While several attractions in the Buda Castle District are wheelchair accessible, including the National Gallery or the Castle Museum and St Stephen’s Hall where lifts and ramps aid visitors, the open air areas reflect the historical nature of the Castle Hill, e.g. the Royal Palace courtyards are covered in cobblestones in several parts which means a bumpy ride unless you are arriving with an all terrain wheelchair (possibly a lightweight one) so that your daughter can visit the Buda Castle in a comfortable way.
Please see some further information focusing on visits to the Buda Castle Hill with a wheelchair https://budacastlebudapest.com/visit-buda-castle-with-a-wheelchair/
Have a great holiday in Budapest!
