Details

Explore part of the underground cave network beneath Castle Hill with a guide. Learn about the history of the caves, their role over the centuries, and the geology that shaped them.

Admire the natural limestone formations alongside the human effort that created this labyrinth-like cave system.

Meet your guide either at Trinity Square (Szentháromság tér) or, for the shorter tour option, at Dárda Street, where you enter the Buda Castle underground cave system.

After a short introduction, the tour begins. You will learn about the history of the cave system, which once served as wine cellars, bomb shelters, and even a medieval prison.

See the natural limestone caverns and the 800-year-old man-made cellars in one of the most unique caves in Hungary.

The tour is a journey through time, offering insight into both the geology of Buda Castle and the combined work of man and nature across many centuries.
