The Castle District is one of the most romantic pedestrian sections in Budapest. A medieval little town with atmospheric streets, picturesque houses, gas lamps, and beautiful monuments.
The main street of the district--Tárnok Street--ranges from Dísz Square to today's district centre, Matthias Church. Colourful little houses border the square and the neighbouring streets.
The medieval street network remains unaltered and although most of the buildings have been thoroughly restored (the war damage was severe) many retain their original features.
You will be able to see the remains of the Dominican monastery; the Plague monument outside Matthias Church (Mátyás Templom); walk along the castle walls on the Buda side and see the Turkish tombstones at the north-western corner
