A private tour for your group only, real stops at Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and the mummified right hand of King Stephen I. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, the Sándor Palace guards, and the genuine mummified right hand of King Stephen I at St. Stephen's Basilica.
The Holy Right Hand is a real, physical relic, not a legend — the naturally mummified right hand of King (Saint) Stephen I, Hungary's first Christian king, crowned around the year 1000. It's kept today inside St. Stephen's Basilica in an ornate reliquary, with the current glass display case dating to 1987 and an earlier, chapel-shaped outer shrine designed in Vienna in 1862 by József Lippert. Every August 20, Saint Stephen's Day, it's carried through the basilica in a genuine, still-practiced annual procession.
Sándor Palace, where the ceremonial guard stands outside, was originally built around 1803–1806 as a Neoclassical home for Count Vince Sándor, then passed to Archduke Albrecht until the 1848 Revolution, after which it became government offices. Damaged in WWII and later restored, it has served as the official residence and workplace of the President of Hungary since 2003 — the real reason for the guard you'll see on duty outside.
Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion fill out the rest of the walk. The castle traces back to King Béla IV's 13th-century fortress, rebuilt in Baroque style under the Habsburgs and reconstructed again after WWII; the Bastion itself, despite its medieval look, is actually a decorative viewing terrace built between 1895 and 1902 by architect Frigyes Schulek — worth knowing honestly, rather than assuming it's a genuine medieval fortification.
