Lovely architecture in the buildings and so many statues around to see. We did a bike tour and this was part of the tour.

The castle is in a very big park. We climbed up a tower to have a beautiful view from the top. The ticket was very cheap. But walking around is for free, unless you want ro go into the castle...

The history of this place is mind blowing. The preservation efforts contributed to this place is astonishing! Not only does it give you insight on the history of Hungary, it also gives you a broad view on what was accomplished in history and it is quite sad that the same creativity and talent is not as common. Remarkable and worth a visit!
