Castles of Hungary in Photos

Hungary’s castles in photos: a royal palace and fairy-tale towers in Budapest. On Castle Hill, Buda Castle was home to Hungarian kings for centuries. Today the palace houses the Hungarian National Gallery and offers wide views over the Danube. Nearby, the white towers and arches of Fisherman’s Bastion are one of the best viewpoints in the city. Built around 1900, they look like something from a fairy tale. In City Park, Vajdahunyad Castle combines copies of famous Hungarian buildings. It was built for the 1896 celebrations of Hungary’s 1,000th anniversary. All photos come from places we have visited and described. Open any place to see it on the map, check the weather and plan how to get there.
