The district is hilly. Walking is great for views, but take the 16 bus or funicular up to save energy for the actual tour.

Allow 3 to 4 hours to explore the Castle District, Fisherman's Bastion, Matthias Church, and the surrounding cobblestone streets.

Take the M2 metro to Széll Kálmán tér, then transfer to bus 16, which takes you directly to the Castle District entrance.
