Castle District - second walk
Playing time: 37 min. 15 sec.

Price: 5 EuroContent
Exiting the Matthew Church, we see the great equestrian sculpture of St. Stephen I against the impressive backdrop of the Fisherman's Bastion. This is the panorama that is frequently represented on picture postcards, as well.
We may take a rest in the Street of Holy Trinity with some famous local signature cakes and a coffee, and then continue in the curvy Úri and Tárnok Streets. During our walk we can visit the Pharmacy Museum, where those with a strong stomach can get to know the preparation process of mummy-powder.
Crossing Dísz Square and the Színház Street we may finally get to St. George Square, where the immense gate provides entrance to the Buda Castle Palace, the last great scene of our tour.
Last but not least, we may experience a marvellous old vehicle to get back to town: the Castle's incline railway.
