Special Instructions
The tour starts from the meeting point at the Kilometre Zero Stone which is located at the bottom of the Buda castle hill, by the funicular entrance (Clark Adam Square), a few meters away from the Chain Bridge (Buda side).
Temporarily instead of the slope (the original route) the tour includes the steps to reach the castle. If you wish not to walk up the hill, you can consider taking the funicular and meeting the group at the “Fountain of the Fishing Children“, a few meters away from the funicular. In this case please meet the tour guide at the meeting point and ask for instructions.
