The plateau above the Chain Bridge empties out by six, which is why the good tours start early or run after dark. These 15 cover the Castle, Matthias Church, the arcades at Fisherman’s Bastion and the cave system underneath, with the walking distance, the entry tickets included, and which ones climb the hill on foot rather than by funicular.

He made sure we were entertained all the time with many stops to tells us interesting facts and spooky tales while also making sure everybody was safe in the budapeste snow.
