I would like to visit the Royal Palace, is it possible?
The Royal Palace was severely damaged during World War II and was later rebuilt as a museum. For this reason you cannot find royal enteriors anymore between the walls of the Buda Castle. There are four cultural institutions operating in the Castle at the moment: the Hungarian National Gallery, the Budapest History Museum, St. Stephen’s Hall and the National Széchényi Library.
How do I reach the building if I use a wheelchair? How can I access the exhibition halls?
Entering the castle district by car or taxi is only possible in exceptional cases, through the Secretariat of the Deputy General Director (info@mng.hu), by registrating (2-3 working days before visit) with the license plate number, specifying the purpose and expected time of arrival.

Wheelchairs are available for free during your visit at the Gallery. Please ask the assistance of our colleagues.
