The national program of reconstruction is directed to make Buda’s castle, this “the most beautiful place in the most beautiful capital of the world”, the pride of the Hungarian people, more tourist.

Castle paths, embankments, walls, parks and gardens are being reconstructed. Ongoing investments are directed to organization of a riding school, renovating of the main building of the guard and the shrine of the chapel of St. Stephen. To make the areas with the highest attendance available, a new underground parking for hundreds of places will be constructed. The budget for the next 3 years is more than 120 million euros annually. Stables for horse guards will be ready this summer.
