Your Secret Spot in Budapest is...

Vajdahunyad Castle

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

Like most architecture in Budapest, Vajdanhunyad Castle looks like a scene out of a fairytale. Only, you can imagine this one belonging to the story's villain.

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 wish to go inside, it's well worth taking a romantic stroll through the courtyards.
