Open Karmelita
The Karmelita Kolostor (Carmelite Monastery) in Budai Vár (Buda Castle), the former Prime Minister's office building, is open to the general public free of charge.
During the visit, guests can tour the former prime ministerial office wing, the terrace, the garden, and the theatre hall, and can also view the venue where cabinet meetings used to be held, as well as the balcony. The registration platforms for the festive long weekend (August 20–22) will also open soon.
The visit requires advance online registration. Up to four people can register per email address, and a maximum of thirty visitors can register for any given time slot, so it's worth carefully considering your chosen time before booking, since a finalized registration cannot be changed or moved to a different time slot afterward.
