ROYAL PALACE (MÁTYÁS KIRÁLY MÚZEUMA)

The former royal palace (király palota), with 350 rooms, was of incomparable splendour in the 15th century when Mátyás, the king beloved of the Hungarians and a great admirer of the Renaissance, stayed here. It's all a reconstruction, certainly in good taste. Inside the castle, rooms furnished as they were in the past give a good insight into daily life in the Middle Ages. An animated film retraces the history of the castle, before a walk in the garden, open all year round.
