The Buda Castle district - also known as the Castle Quarter - is one of the most visited places the city of Budapest, and there is a good reason for that.
The district itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site hosting many amazing buildings to visit and see, such as the Matthias Church, the Fishermans Bastion and the Buda Castle iself! But there is also a creepy labyrinth and the Hospital in the Rock with it's unique history!
And besides the gorgeous architecture to see and take pictures of, there is also the amazing view of the Pest side and the Danube riverside, you can view the Parliament, the St Stephens Basilica and many other sites from here! But there are also some nice foods to try, and some interesting experiences to check out, so in this video we'll show you how you can spend a day in the Buda Castle District.
We took the Funicular to reach the top, you can check how much the latest prices are and what the opening hours are here:

We also visited the Labyrinth, it was a very cool experience because the place got really dark and very mystical! Make sure to have some cash with you as the place does not accept cards:

We visited the Matthias Church from the inside, and it is totally worth it! I even like it maybe better than St Stephens Basilica's inside. We couldnt go up to the tower, but the view must be amazing up there too!

The next must see was Fishermans Bastion, you need to pay to go up but the view of Budapest can also be enjoyed through the many columns behind the Church!

We were then just wondering around, went to Tóth Árpád promenade where the Cherry blossom was visible (at the time we recorded the video in late April). And then was time for another coffee at 4minutes:

We finally went for a dinner and grabbed a Chicken Paprikás, which is a local dish and it was very nice and tasty!
There are many tourist trap restaurants in the area, but this one was certainly very nice: 21 Hungarian Bistro:
