Buda Castle Museum

The museum occupies four floors of Buda Castle and presents exhibits spanning 2000 years of the city's history through artifacts and displays. The collection includes carved stone pieces, Renaissance materials, and items from the Ottoman period.

The castle originally served as a royal residence before becoming a museum. Much of the collection was discovered during excavations in 1974.

The collection displays carved stone pieces and objects from different rulers that show how Budapest transformed over the centuries. Walking through the exhibits, you notice how each era left its mark on the city through the items on display.

The museum provides tablet-based audio guides in multiple languages to enhance your visit. Certain areas like the Royal Hall require advance registration, so check ahead before arriving.

The basement contains three vaulted halls leading to Gothic and Renaissance rooms, including a wine cellar from the 15th century. These underground spaces offer a different perspective on the castle's layers of history.
