Every year, on the last day of the year, Hungarians, expats and tourists come together to party in the streets, to watch the fireworks displays near the river Danube, and in all sorts of ways, to celebrate the New Year coming.

Entry to the Fisherman’s Bastion is free throughout the winter season (including Christmas), so do come to enjoy the views, the boats passing by  in Budapest. You can take a guided tour at the Fisherman’s Bastion and all around the Castle District from about €10 per person every day in the Buda Castle Budget Tour to learn about the history of the Fisherman’s Bastion and the medieval Castle later developed into a Habsburg Palace, now functioning as a museum.

If you also wish to visit the Matthias Church next to the Fisherman’s Bastion, you can choose the insightful small group Buda Castle & Church Tour.

Don’t forget to wear a warm coat, hat and gloves as most tours are outdoor walking tours in the medieval little hilltop town of the Castle District (there are Segway and Bus tours too) .
