Good to know

• DURATION: 90 minutes - this is both an outdoor and indoor programme - it is recommended for ages 14 and upwards - the programme starts promptly at the time indicated, we cannot wait for latecomers - the tour is held in all weather conditions (even in the case of rain) - as the walk winds on cobbled streets, in dark but illuminated areas of the De la Motte/Beer House and the Buda Castle Cave, with steep stairs, narrow corridors, and solid, sometimes wet surfaces, the tour is not suitable for those with mobility challenges - comfortable walking shoes are recommended - the temperature in the cellar and in the Buda Castle Cave is approximately 12°C (54°F) all year round, so we recommend dressing in layers.
