Budapest: The WWII Siege of Buda Castle & Bomb Shelter Tour

Good to know

DEPARTURE: De la Motte–B.-Palace – 1014 Budapest, Dísz tér 15. (Dísz Square 15) Next to the "Posta" building, at the big green gate, look for our colleague with the turquoise umbrella bearing the Buda Castle Walks logo. ARRIVAL: Szentháromság tér (Szentháromság Square) 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.
