El edificio impresiona bastante desde fuera, con vistas al río y grandes edificios. Dentro realmente lo único que hay es un museo de historia,es bastante interesante aunque 0 interactivo y las exposiciones son bastante sosas. También es increíble que te cobren un extra para ver una habitación de estilo antiguo, que sinceramente parece un decorado de teatro escolar.

Lugar muy bonito con grandes vistas es precioso si aprovechas el bus turístico puedes parar ahí. No vale la pena coger el funicular más a la izquierda hay un sistema de ascensores y escaleras mecánicas gratis, que te llevan hasta arriba. no nos gastamos ni un euro, no entramos a las zonas de pago por lo que no podemos hablar, supongo que es todo precioso, pero si quieres aprovechar el día sin gastar plata, y ver unos bonitos paisajes del Río Danubio es muy recomendable.

El Castillo de Buda, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, corona la colina de Buda con una presencia imponente y unas vistas panorámicas del Danubio y del lado de Pest que difícilmente tienen rival. Su origen se remonta al siglo XIII, tras la invasión mongola, y desde entonces ha sido residencia de reyes húngaros, testigo de guerras, reconstrucciones y de los graves daños sufridos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Hoy, completamente restaurado, alberga instituciones clave como la Galería Nacional Húngara, la Biblioteca Nacional Széchényi y el Museo de Historia de Budapest. El entorno no se queda atrás: a pocos pasos se encuentran el Bastión de los Pescadores y la Iglesia de Matías, con sus inconfundibles tejados de colores que completan uno de los conjuntos más bellos de la ciudad. Un lugar imprescindible para comprender la historia y la identidad de Hungría, y uno de esos espacios donde la arquitectura y el paisaje se combinan de forma inolvidable.
