Finally your Storyteller will tell you Hungarian folktales and vampire stories and chronicles of the 19° century.
Away from the crowds of Pest, this informative and entertaining tour, guided by a professional actor in period costume, takes you to some of the charming, magical places of the city: the Buda castle courts.
This activity is an immersive storytelling experiences about legends, mythology, dark medieval history, tales and folklore.

Know before you go
Mobile or paper ticket accepted
The tour starts from the meeting point at the Kilometre Zero Stone which is located at the bottom of the Buda castle hill, by the funicular entrance (Clark Adam Square), a few meters away from the Chain Bridge (Buda side).
Temporary Route Update
Due to a temporary route change, the tour currently uses the castle steps instead of the original sloped pathway to reach the top.
If you prefer not to walk uphill, you are welcome to take the funicular and meet the group at the Fountain of the Fishing Children, located just a few metres from the Turul Bird Statue.
Please note that the group makes its first stop halfway up the hill for the opening story and typically reaches the top 18–25 minutes (depending on the walking pace of the group) after the tour begins.
If you choose to meet the group at the top, you will miss this first story. However, our guides will be happy to recount the missed information between the following stops, ensuring you can continue enjoying the rest of the tour without missing any essential context.
