When we went there, the whole castle was shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere due to the heavy fog. As soon as we arrived at the foot of the castle (the second picture from the bottom), we could feel its grandeur. Climbing up the winding path, we saw lush trees on both sides, and the branches and leaves rustled in the breeze, as if whispering about the castle's past.
Inside the castle, the ancient walls, towers and palace ruins are scattered in an orderly manner. Walking into the tower, it seems that we can see the guards of the year standing guard here, watching the distance vigilantly.
Among the ruins of the palace, we can vaguely imagine the former splendor and glory.
Walking on the stone slabs of the castle, touching the ancient walls, the rough touch from the fingertips makes people sigh at the ruthlessness of time.
Travel tips:
- Tickets: The price of the castle ticket is moderate, equivalent to more than 50 yuan per person.
- Tour time: It is recommended to arrange a half-day to a day to visit, so that you can fully appreciate the beauty and historical relics of the castle. We visited for about two hours and still felt unsatisfied.
- Surrounding food: There are many Hungarian restaurants nearby. The tour guide took us to a very distinctive castle restaurant (see the last picture 1, and I will write about this restaurant in the subsequent special topic). It is recommended to taste local beef stew, roast pork elbow, venison soup and other delicacies, paired with Hungarian specialty wine, which is very delicious and allows your taste buds to enjoy it.
- Notes: Some areas in the castle are high, so you need to pay attention to safety when walking; it is rainy and foggy in winter, and it is relatively cold, so keep warm.
Hungary is a beautiful country with many cities offering scenic spots, one of which is Visegrad. There are also many famous tourist destinations in the north of Budapest. If you are traveling to Eastern Europe, you must visit Hungary.
