Buda Castle seen from Gellért Hill in Budapest, Hungary
If you want a vivid tour through Budapest’s history, make time to see Buda Castle near the banks of the Danube River. What remains of the medieval castle—first built in 1265—has been incorporated into the many iterations, rebuilds, and reconstructions of the royal palace. Representing architectural styles including Baroque, Gothic, and Communist-era Modern, Buda Castle itself documents the many changes and upheavals that have shaped Hungary.
