The tour starts from the meeting point at the Kilometre Zero Stone which is located at the bottom of the Buda castle hill, by the funicular entrance (Clark Adam Square), a few meters away from the Chain Bridge (Buda side).
Please note that due to the temporary work on site of the area, we are forced to take an alternative steep stairway to reach the top of the hill. If you wish not to walk up the hill, you can consider taking the funicular and meeting the group on top of the hill. In this case please meet the tour guide at the meeting point and ask for instructions.
