Castles & Palaces

BUDAPEST - VAJDAHUNYAD CASTLE

Located in one of Budapest’s largest public parks, City Park, Vajdahunyad Castle is today home to the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture, the biggest agricultural museum in Europe.  The castle was built on an island and can be accessed via one of four bridges. The components of the monumental castle building were modelled after famous buildings erected in the area of historical Hungary, so we can discover traces of Romanesque and Gothic churches, Renaissance palaces and Baroque castles in certain sections of the castle. From spring to autumn, City Park Lake around Vajdahunyad Castle is a spectacular location for boating and pedal boating, while in winter, the artificial lake becomes a skating rink.
