Mátyáshegy Cave

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

Of Budapest's 200 caves, several are accessible to the public and can be visited on walk-through guided tours. This one, left in its natural state, throws down a gauntlet to would-be speleologists, keen on crawling through narrow passages and climbing cave walls. Caving equipment (overalls, helmet and light) is provided; email ahead. Alight at the Pálvölgyi-cseppkőbarlang bus stop.

A number of hostels in Budapest offer similar 2½- to three-hour caving excursions to this cave, which is opposite to and links up with Pálvölgy Cave.
