Dear Sir or Madam,
I purchased tickets for Fisherman’s Bastion on your official website on December 7, 2025.
The website did not provide an option to select a visit date, nor did the purchase instructions mention any validity period for the tickets.
However, when I received the electronic tickets, they stated that they are valid only until December 23, 2025.
We are planning to visit Fisherman’s Bastion on January 2, 2026.
Could you please confirm whether our tickets will still be valid for entry on that date?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards,

Bonjour, j’aimerais réserver deux entrées. Pouvez vous m’envoyer les informations merci
Full-price ticket for Panorama Lookout
Fisherman’s Bastion full price ticket
Full-price ticket for Mary Magdalene
I have these 3 options when i enter the website you sent but i don’t understand the pricing. Why full price ticket is cheaper than Panorama lookout? Why i don’t see this options on your website anywhere? Where can i check what do i have in a “full price ticket”. I would like to know what places are inside the ticket because it is different from what you have on your website here.
Dear Rafal,
Thank you for your comment. Basically, there are three types of tickets:
I. Fisherman’s Bastion full-price ticket (1,500 HUF) – for Fisherman’s Bastion lookout terrace only
II. Mary Magdalene Church tower ticket (1,500 HUF) – this is for the church tower only, in a different location, and doesn’t include Fisherman’s Bastion
III. Panorama Lookout ticket (2,500 HUF) – Combined Ticket for both Fisherman’s Bastion and the Mary Magdalene Church tower
Wishing your a memorable winter holiday in Budapest!

Buenas tardes,
Somos una familia de cinco. Viajamos a Budapest a principios de agosto y queremos visitar el Bastión de los Pescadores. Somos dos adultos y tres chicos (21, 17 y 15 años), todos estudiantes. El chico de 21 años es universitario y tienen la tarjeta de la universidad. Los otros dos son estudiantes de secundaria y tienen la matricula del instituto. ¿Son válidos estos documentos para acreditar que son estudiantes? ¿Dónde puedo comprar las entradas? Muchas gracias!!
Estimada Ivonne,
Muchas gracias por su mensaje.
Con respecto a su visita al Bastión de los Pescadores en Budapest:
Solo las terrazas superiores (panorámicas) requieren entrada de pago; las partes inferiores se pueden visitar de forma gratuita.
Los descuentos para estudiantes suelen aplicarse a quienes presenten una tarjeta de estudiante válida de un país de la Unión Europea.
La tarjeta universitaria y los certificados de matrícula del instituto generalmente son aceptados, especialmente si están en inglés o húngaro, y muestran claramente el nombre del estudiante, el nombre del centro educativo y el período de validez. No obstante, la decisión final la toma el personal de la taquilla o del acceso en el lugar.
Las entradas se pueden adquirir en el lugar, en la taquilla del Bastión de los Pescadores.
Hola. agradecería me indiquen como adquirir las entradas online para visitar el bastion de los pescadores.

Have a great time at the Fisherman’s Bastion in the Buda Castle District!
I have a few queries, would make my day if i get them clarified.
I plan to visit Fisherman’s Bastion between 23:00 pm till 01:00 am to celebrate my friend’s birthday at midnight 00:00 hours.
Q1- Are we allowed to visit between 23:00 pm till 01:00 am?
Q2- Am I allowed to park my personal car inside at this duration? if yes what are the parking charges for personal car?
Q3- Am I allowed to carry a small cake, a candle and a couple of Balloons while I celebrate her birthday at midnight?
Dear Philip,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your wonderful plan to celebrate your friend’s birthday at Fisherman’s Bastion! I’m happy to clarify your queries:
Q1 – Are we allowed to visit between 23:00 pm till 01:00 am?
Yes, absolutely! Fisherman’s Bastion’s lookout terraces, towers, and balconies are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for visitors to enjoy. The ticketing operation for the upper towers usually closes by 9:00 PM (during high season), but outside of these hours, access to the upper areas is free. You are welcome to visit during your planned time.
Q2 – Am I allowed to park my personal car inside at this duration? if yes what are the parking charges for personal car?
Parking directly “inside” Fisherman’s Bastion (meaning within the immediate, pedestrianized area of the Castle District) is extremely limited and highly restricted, especially for personal cars at any time. The municipality actively tries to limit car traffic in the historic Castle District.
While there might be very limited street parking available, it’s typically paid and can be difficult to find. We strongly advise using public transportation or parking at one of the designated paid parking garages at the foot of Castle Hill (e.g., Várkert Bazár Parking Garage, Szilágyi Dezső Square Parking Garage) and then walking or taking a short taxi ride up. Alternatively, you can take a taxi directly to the drop-off location by Matthias Church, which is very close to Fisherman’s Bastion. There is no free parking in the Buda Castle District.
Q3 – Am I allowed to carry a small cake, a candle and a couple of Balloons while I celebrate her birthday at midnight?
You are welcome to bring a small cake and a couple of balloons for your celebration. However, please note that no open flames (including lit candles) are permitted at Fisherman’s Bastion due to safety regulations. We kindly request that you use electric/LED candles instead. Additionally, please be mindful of noise restrictions from 10:00 PM onwards, maintaining a respectful volume for other visitors and residents in the area.
Hello, I was on a website that directed me here to buy non-tour tickets for the upper lesion of the Fisherman’s Bastion but I cannot find it here. Please direct me to the ticketing website. Thank you.

dear, I bought 2 tickets of fishman’s bastion on your website. you send me the invoice email, but there is no tickets email. I call the phone number (1-458-3000; 1-458-3030; 1-458-3025;). but they said they are the government, can not help me. Can you please send me the tickets to my email? this is maybe the booking reference : Tranzakció azonosító: 622314115 (in the invoice email.)
Dear Junwen,
Thank you for contacting us.
We have contacted you via email with regards to the purchase. Thank you for sending along the proof of payment for 2 adult tickets. We understand that the tickets were – due to some reason – not downloadable in this case. Kindly show the invoice instead of the tickets when checking in at the Fisherman’s Bastion and explain to the person at the check in that the tickets were not sent but the proof is the invoice issued by the Buda Castle Local Government. Thank you for your understanding.
Hello, me and my wife are visiting Budapest this coming January 11, the information says that before 9am everyday that the entrance to and for some of the balconies of the Bastion are free? and it even says the same things after 7pm. is this information still valid? because I saw a comment that says they were denied entry after 7pm. thank you!
Hello Klimyel,
Thank you for contacting us.
Fishermen’s Bastion is open all day, all year round. Generally speaking, the upper terraces require entry fee during certain hours of the day, while the lower terraces are free to visit. Regarding the UPPER terraces, if you arrive before 9 am or after 7pm you can enter the place for free of charge. Having said that, in the last few days, the Buda Castle municipal council has decided to extend the paid zone of the Fisherman’s Bastion on a trial basis to the lower sections, meaning that even the lower terraces of Fisherman’s Bastion were fee paying just like the top section lookout towers. This measure came into effect on January 1st, 2025, on New Year’s Day. However, its implementation did not meet expectations, and, as a result, the trial basis suddenly came to an end when Mayor László Böröcz ordered the removal of the temporary barriers from the Bastion’s lower terraces. During the temporary phase of barriers, visitors were indeed unable to access the Bastion in the usual ways, as for a few days, even the lower terraces required entry tickets, which may have led to the comment you saw.
In Buda Castle, the municipality continues to strive to deliver higher-quality services for both visitors and residents living in District I in Budapest. For this, the municipality is experimenting with ways to generate more revenue from the visitation of the Fisherman’s Bastion in order to facilitate the preservation, maintenance and development of the top tourist attraction in Budapest. In the future there may be further trial periods when the municipal council is testing the extension of the paying zone to further sections of the Fisherman’s Bastion.
Like other iconic vantage points—such as the Top of the Rock Observation Deck in New York City, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Beijing Olympic Tower in China, and the A’DAM Lookout in Amsterdam—Fisherman’s Bastion operates with the need to be self-sustaining. These globally recognised attractions require paid entry to maintain their facilities, preserve their structures, and continue offering visitors unparalleled panoramic views. Similarly, Fisherman’s Bastion relies on entry fees to ensure its upkeep and enhance the experience for both locals and tourists.
Thank you for supporting Fisherman’s Bastion to stay as beautiful in the future as it is today.
Please let me know if I can help more.
Hello, I’ll be visiting end of the month.
Can I ask if I enter before 9am (probably 8am) which is a free entry period, am I allowed to stay in the “paid” areas like upper tower and terrace despite that its already passed 9am – just curious will we be asked to leave the paid areas?
Thank you for your time.
Hello Ky,
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you arrive before 9 am, you are allowed to stay in the upper terraces after 9 am as well.
Hope we can welcome you at at Fisherman’s Bastion!
Thank you for your prompt reply.
Thats really gracious from your side!
Thank you! =)
Good evening, I’m contacting you to find out if is possible to buy tickets online or only on the site.
Thank You.
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for your inquiry.

Goran
Hello I tried to visit at 1910 on 25 June. Your web site says “free after 7 pm” and “web site updated Jin 2023”. The two clerks refused to let me and the other 6 tourist pass even though we mentioned the web site. It was very disappointing.
The hours are now fixed one place but not the second one below.
Hello,me and my husband will come to visit fisherman’s bastion on march 1,do i need to buy tickets to go inside and to the upper part.thank you.

Dear Javier,
unfortunately, no discount is offered to unemployed visitors or guests with disabilities.
Enjoy your holiday in Budapest!
if i want to visit it in the morning and again later in the afternoon, especially the upper part. do i need to buy a ticket again or can i use rhe ticket for the day?
Good morning, yesterday 19/03/2022 I forgot a black backpack on the terrace overlooking the Danube, in case you could find it you could kindly contact me at this address: luca….0@gmail.com
I was distracted by the beautiful panorama
Hello Luca,
we recommend going back and asking the places nearby if they have found it.
I hope you will find it.
Hi just wondering is it possible to get married here? If so what would roughly be the price?
Hello Derick, There are many couples who get married in Budapest at or on the Fisherman’s Bastion, or right on the river Danube on a boat cruise on a privately rented cruise ship (https://budapestrivercruise.com/) or a riverside hotel (like some of the five star luxury hotels) in the Hungarian capital just to enjoy the fascinating and romantic view over the river Danube and the Paris like 19th century architecture, the magnificent Parliament and Buda Castle.
Normally we suggest contacting a local wedding organiser to aid you with the local arrangements. Of course, they will work for commission as that pays their job, but it takes off the hassle and extra stress of having to organise a venue and other wedding elements from a foreign country, far away from the actual venue.
Please run a web search for trustworthy and well reviewed Budapest wedding companies to find your ideal agency and to have a peace of mind for a beautiful wedding ceremony in the city of Budapest.
In short, yes, Fisherman’s Bastion is always an option. Even if the restaurant is closed, you are welcome to take photos on the scene before / after the wedding too.
Neste ano no dia 08/03/2020 ainda sera de graça a entrada ?

Hello Jane, thank you for contacting us for a group offer. We have sent you a customised private tour offer via email, with answers to all of your questions (length of tour, prices, etc.) please let me know if we can be of any further help (if the offer has not arrived, please check if it may have ended up in the spam box).
In late October it is free of charge to visit the Fisherman’s Bastion / Halaszbastya, it can’t be cheaper than that, hope your group will be happy to hear it.
Have a lovely time in Budapest, enjoy the views from the Fisherman’s Bastion!
Hello.Can we visit the Bastion with our dog,pug?Thank you.
How much time is needed to visit the Fisherman’s Bastion in its entirety?
Thank you.
Dear Marcia,
it absolutely depends on you, from a few minutes to hours – if you wish to admire the beautiful panorama longer. Also, there is a hidden chapel, St Michael’s Chapel near the stairs leading up to the Fisherman’s Bastion (under the ramparts and terraces) where you can watch a 3D film show of the Hungarian history, approx. 30 minutes. It is very popular among tourists who wish to see the historical background of Hungary (also free with a Budapest Card: http://budapestcards.com/)
Many people spend about 30 minutes or so on the balcony, watch the 3d film, visit the Matthias Church right next to the bastion, or sits down for a rest on the stairs or in the cafe (there is one inside a turret of the Fisherman’s Bastion and another one next to it, a Starbucks at the ground floor of the Hotel Hilton). You can spend there 15 minutes if you are in a rush, or sit and enjoy for 2 hours with drinks, film, photo shoots, people watching etc.

Hello! How much cost parking for bus.
Hello Larissa, parking up in the Castle District in Budapest is not only expensive, but it is also very limited. We suggest parking the bus on the roads under the Fisherman’s Bastion if you can get a place (it is very popular for buses). You can find the parking map for the Buda Castle area and locate the parking area under Fisherman’s Bastion (Halaszbastya) for further details (hourly parking fees range from €3 to €6 per hour for buses, which is the treble of regular car fees)

Dear Antoinette, the tickets for visiting the Bastion are only sold on the spot, not online. The ticket office is right opposite the Matthias Church, atop the Buda Castle hill, near the Fisherman’s Bastion.
Please advise me if entrance is free of charge 1st Sunday of March!
Hello Evangelia, yes, the entry is free of charge until mid March, 2015. So you can walk up to the upper terraces and take a great view of the city of Budapest free!
