Budapest: Buda Castle Cave Tour

1.Buda Castle Cave Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 5,677 reviews · 40 minutes - 1.5 hours · from $19Our pick

Explore the caves beneath Buda Castle, where limestone chambers, medieval cellars, wartime shelters, and engaging guides tell Budapest’s story underground.

“We had an outstanding experience on the underground cave tour beneath Buda Castle, and it was made truly memorable by our guide, Vicky.

Budapest: Semlő-hegyi & Pál-völgyi Caves Guided Walking Tour

2.Semlő-hegyi & Pál-völgyi Caves Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 343 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $52

Explore Budapest’s Szemlő-hegyi and Pál-völgyi caves with an expert guide, 400 stairs, unusual minerals, stalactites, and a 7-meter ladder.

“This tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide was Peter and he was very knowledgeable and insightful. I’m 18 weeks pregnant and really wanted to do the more adventurous tour but this was a happy compromise between that and the shorter tour. I will say that, depending on the size of your bump and activity level, this might be a challenge as there is a fair amount of climbing and stairs in the second cave. That aside, this was my favorite activity that we did in Budapest and I am so thrilled we did it! Definitely a must see!”
