My name is luuk, and I am writing on behalf of Hogeschool Rotterdam in the Netherlands. We are planning a school trip to Budapest and are very interested in including a visit to the Fisherman’s Bastion in our itinerary.
We would like to inquire about the following:
Are there group options or guided tours available for a group of 30 people?
What would be the cost per person, or is there a group discount available?
Are there any additional fees for accessing the upper terraces?
Are there specific time slots or reservation requirements for larger groups?
Our group consists of students and faculty, and we are aiming for an educational and cultural experience. The visit is planned for 28 November
We would greatly appreciate any information you can provide, as well as advice on how best to arrange the visit.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. We look forward to your reply.
Best regards,

Hello. I am looking at venues for my wedding in Budapest. Can you email me the rates for a 2 hour rental of the upper section? This would be just for the ceremony. About 60 people.
Hello Sarah,
Thank you for contacting us about your planned Fisherman’s Bastion visit.
We have emailed you wish further details.
I have problems in my legs but still wanted to visit the Fisherman’s bastion
How many steps do I have to negotiate to get to the level where St. Stephen’s Statue ( on the horse ) is located ( I guess thats the lowest level . Please correct me If I am wrong )
Dear Sima,
Thank you for your inquiry.
The regular castle bus will stop at the castle district few metres from Matthias Church. St. Stephen’s Statue is located on the same level (there are no stairs).
Generally speaking, 4 elevators help people with mobility issues to access the elevated Buda Castle grounds, where the recently refurbished pavement helps people with reduced mobility.
Please note that the streets and especially the Royal Palace courtyards are covered with cobblestone and getting over some of the high curbs might also be tricky.
Have a lovely time at Buda Castle!
Hello all,

Are there any specific legends or stories associated with Fisherman’s Bastion that visitors should know?
Dear Visitor,
Thank you for contacting us.
According to its architectural style, the Fisherman’s Bastion in the Buda Castle may seem to be a very old building, but the truth is it was built at the turn of the century (finished in 1902), to celebrate the 1000th birthday of the Hungarian state (among a lot of other buildings across Budapest).

Have a lovely time in Budapest!
Sziastok!
Hogy vagy? :)
I’m coming to Budapest on 28 august and needing to know about this place if the place is opened all day?
What is fee for entrance?
I’m photographer and planning to take pics before sunrise around at 5.50 early in the morning.
Köszönöm es örvendek!
Pierre LEMON
Ps! I’m deaf and just wondering if there is possible with free entrance for people with disability?
Dear Pierre,
Thank you for your comment.
Tickets are available at the vending machines on the spot (only Fishermen’s Bastion entries, no combi tickets). There is no different price if you buy on the spot or advance with a tour agency along with your private castle tour. If the group arrives before 9 am there is no entry fee.
There are dozens of museums in the castle district some of them offer discounted rates for deaf guests (in some places even for free (Castle Museum).
Have a nice time in Budapest!
Hello! The email address doesn’t work.
I would like to know the opening hours during Easter time especially Monday 10 April.
thanks :)
Hii. I’ve tried to contact you via email, but you haven’t answered, so I will try here :)
I have an inquiry about the upper towers of the Fisherman’s Bastion. We are a class of 21 students and 2 teachers that wish to experience the Fisherman Bastion.
The inquiry is that I have read on your website ” visiting Fisherman’s Bastion between Oct 15 and March 15 is free of charge all day long.”
Does it also apply to the upper towers on March 15?
And is it possible to get a tour guide ( in English )? if yes, how much is it?
Hello we are going to visit Budapest on March 12 and will spend 3 days there. Will the Fisherman’s Bastion, the Castle & the Matthias Church be open normally? And also can we buy tickets online?
Thank you in advanced

In addition, i would like to know if i have to make an early booking of the tickets in order to have access there.

Hello Elenni,
thank you for contacting us regarding the opening hours of Fisherman’s Bastion.
The good news is that visiting Fisherman’s Bastion is free of charge between Oct 16, 2019 and March 15, 2020. So you don’t need to buy tickets neither in advance nor on the spot, you can visit lower and upper terraces free of charge. Opening hours stay the same as usual (00:00-00:00 – all day).
Let me also recommend you the following article about Christmas opening hours of the Buda Castle Budapest: http://budacastlebudapest.com/christmas-buda-castle-budapest/

Hi there,
Is it possibly to light a few candles at the bastion for some pictures to be taken ?
Hello John, due to fire hazards (especially in dry warm weather) it is generally not allowed to light candles at any parts of the historical monument of the Fisherman’s Bastion. Upon your visit you will see that there are woods, trees, bushes, grass under the bastion, right next to living residential areas, which may catch fire. That said, there are gastro places, cafe / restaurant in and nearby the bastion where you can safely ask for a candle in a windproof area for a romantic evening. If you wish to have a private event right on the rampart or balcony, we’d suggest using artificial candles (led lights) which you can buy locally from the Ikea store in Budapest or elsewhere. Should you still wish light a candle, we suggest asking for a special permit from the local government in the Buda Castle District (it is up to the municipality to decide).
At any rate, if you still light a candle (without the permission of the municipality), please do make sure to
1, never leave it unguarded
2, remove any flammable materials from its proximity
3, put out any candle / fire you made to avoid arson
4, you may expect to face the local police force
Hopefully it does not sound too harsh, there are simply too many people and beautiful historical buildings at risk to give the general public – some of whom may be irresponsible, even if it is not you – permit for ‘any time’ candle lighting.
Also, recently the Hungarian government started to move its major institutions to the Buda Castle area, which means that it is becoming more guarded / policed than before (e.g. the new Ministry of Finance building is approx. 25 meters / 74 feet from the Fisherman’s Bastion)
How can we get in touch with you? Looking to book wedding.
Thank you!
Dear Victoria,
please contact us via email regarding your planned wedding in Budapest, this is the fastest way. Thank you for your cooperation.
Is it possible to book this for weddings?

Hi,
Can we pay by credit card? We will be 30 people coming.
We are planning to be in Budapest September 26 and would like to have a table for 4 to dine with a view. How do I reserve this
hey i am planning to visit budapest on the 30th of december until the 4th of january and one of my list there is to visit fisherman’s bastion and do a proposal in this castle..i was seeing where i can contact the organizer and ask few questions abt my plan and how i’m willing to do..i need help guys..waiting for ir reply thx!!
Hello Yorgo, thank you for planning with Fisherman’s Bastion Budapest for your romantic holiday and proposal. If you wish to have your own intimate private proposal we suggest visiting the Fisherman’s Bastion after 7pm when there are a lot fewer people than day time and you can find some quiet spot along the long ramparts, balconies or in some of the windproof, rainproof turrets and towers to pop the question. During the daytime hours (until 4 pm as winter is characteristically with an early sunset in Hungary) you can visit the Fisherman’s Bastion too, but it is very popular and perhaps too crowded for a proposal (unless you wish to attract attention). At any rate, please dress warmly as it is very cold in winter time, and, apart from the restaurant inside some parts of the Bastion, it is not heated. Romantic views with chilly weather.
Another option is to book a table inside the restaurant and make your proposal there.
Perhaps one of the most popular and best places in Europe for proposals is indeed at the Fisherman’s Bastion in Budapest, and romantic river cruises with candle lit dinner are equally very popular (on heated boats in winter months – as you mentioned that you’d come and visit Budapest in December and January) https://budapestrivercruise.com/budapest-candlelit-dinner-cruise-a-la-carte-dinner

Hi,
I am planning to visit on the 9th August and would like to go up to the balcony however we can only arrive at approx. 1045-11pm
May I know if we will still be able to access the place?
Cheers
Steph
Hi Steph, no problem, the Fisherman’s Bastion is open non stop, so you can freely visit the ramparts, and even the upper lookout towers late at night. In fact, as summer is quite hot in Budapest, you can usually enjoy the night views in breezy balmy weather. Have a nice holiday in Budapest in August.
Some more ideas for Budapest activities in August: http://tenthingstodo.topbudapest.org/by-months/things-to-do-in-budapest-in-august/
Please could we make a reservation for dinner at the restaurant on the 14th?

Hello! I’m going to Budapest from June to July, this year, and I’d like to know which one of those 2 months is less crowded and if there’s any difference in the value of the ticket to the Top View.
Thanks!

Buenos días.
Quería saber si para subir a las torres del Bastión de los pescadores, se puede subir con la tarjeta Budapest Car o hay que pagar para pasar por los tornos y subir, ¿cual es su precio?

How far is Fisherman’s Bastion from the Hotel Nemzeit?

As Hotel Nemzeti is located in the city center on the Pest side, unfortunately it is not in walking distance from the Fisherman’s Bastion.

Saxon
Dear Saxon, at this moment there is no booking tickets online, but we can recommend a guided tour in the Buda Castle area, which includes visiting many parts of the Fisherman’s Bastion, as well as a tour inside the Matthias Church, and guided walking tour in the Buda Castle area (2.5 hours in duration.)
If you buy an entry to visit the upper turrets of the lookout fortification, it enables you for a one time visit.
Dear Ms
Can we buy the tickets for the fisherman’s Bastion online for teh 14th of September?
An early reply would be greatly appreciated.

Lucy Micallef
Hello Lucy,
yes, you can buy tickets to the Fisherman’s Bastion at the ticket office on the spot. Momentarily there is no advance booking yet.
hello
is it accesible for handiccaped ?
best regards
violeta
Hello Violeta, many parts of the Fisherman’s Bastion can be visited with a wheelchair. The lower terraces offer great views, the surface is not smooth though, so expect cobble stones in the Buda Castle area in Budapest. The upper towers are not accessible with wheel chair unfortunately.
I would like to ask, if is the elevator for oldier people.
Sincerely
Maria
Hello Maria, unfortunately, there is no elevator for older people, but you can also approach the Fisherman’s Bastion from near the Matthias Church, taking a bus (Castle minibus, part of the public transport), or taking a taxi. This way, you do not need to climb stairs, unless you wish to go up to the top of the Bastion to have a view of Budapest from the upper turrets and terraces. That said, the views are excellent from the lower levels, so it is highly recommended to visit. The surface of the roads and squares in the Buda Castle area are mostly covered in cobble stones, so make sure to have a pair of comfy shoes.
Hi there,
I recently visited Fisherman’s Bastion during my visit to Budapest. On the evening of 13/12/2014 myself and friends went for drinks in the Bar area inside the Bastion, there was live music which I absolutely loved.

Hello, we are a group of 11 french students in tourism and we are coming to budapest in 12 days.
We would like to visit the Fisherman’s bastion during the afternoon of thusrday 30th. I saw that the visit is free but I would like to know how much does it cost for a group of eleven to go up the fisherman’s bastion, on balconies.
Looking forward for your answer
Your sincerely
Eva
Dear Eva, for a group of 11 tourists there is unfortunately no group discount on the Fisherman’s Bastion, but you can buy student tickets if you wish to climb to the top of the towers (basically 1 more floor higher than the free balconies and terraces).
Just for you to know the violin player Jànos Völgyi is selling fake CDs !
Hi, can I reserve two adult tickets for the bastion for May 1 in the afternoon or May 2 ?
Hello Vera, there is no need book a ticket in Fisherman’s Bastion. You can freely walk on the rampart and balconies, while the upper turrets are coin operated with a turnstile gate. Currently there are no online tickets sold for the Fishermans Bastion. On May 1st you usually do not need any ticket as national holidays offer a free access to the bastion and its upper towers and balconies. Have a nice Budapest visit in May. We are having a wonderful spring weather this year!
