A Self-Guided Audio Tour of Budapest’s Castle District
Overview
On this self-guided audio tour, you'll track down titillating tales and quirky facts behind the city’s historic facade. Join producer VInce Bur, a part-time tour guide born and raised in Budapest, as he leads you on a walking tour through Budapest’s bastion of folklore.
The Buda Castle District is the oldest and most picturesque part of Budapest. On this walking tour, you’ll find amazing architecture, breathtaking views, and pastry stores with tantalizing local sweets. Most importantly, you’ll hear countless fascinating stories spanning Hungary’s 1000-year-long history.
As you walk, you’ll learn where Dracula was imprisoned, why there’s a House of Houdini in Budapest, and what it was like to survive the Second World War inside the Hospital in the Rock, the medical facility located in a network of caves under Buda Castle.
