Vajdahunyad Castle

Despite its prime position in City Park, Vajdahunyad Castle remains a hidden gem in Budapest. This is surprising as it is one of the most beautiful castles in Budapest.

Like most of Budapest's architecture, Vajdanhunyad Castle looks like a scene out of a fairy tale. Alone, you can imagine this belonging to the villain of the story.

The fusion of Gothic-Renaissance and Baroque architecture
creates an almost haunting scene. Ironically, legend has it that the castle once imprisoned Count Dracula.

Entry to the Vajdahunyad Castle grounds is free, so even if you don't want to go inside, it's worth taking a romantic stroll through the courtyards.
