"This stunning 18th-century Baroque palace, a World Heritage Site perched on Castle Hill, evokes images of Hungarian kings and the mighty Hapsburg empire. Accessible via funicular or a steep walk, the castle's gardens, squares, and lavish interiors can be taken in on a guided tour or a relaxed afternoon on your own. Various portions of the palace were added in later centuries, offering a cornucopia of architectural and historical sights. The castle's omnipresence (its height makes it visible from many corners of the city) offers orientation and grounding for tourists and locals alike."
