Meeting point: information desk.

+
Central location in Buda Castle area is famous with foreign visitors and easy to pair with other sightseeing
+
Easy to reach: Buda Castle has frequent buses, funicular, and walkable routes; taxis/ride-hailing work fine too
+
No real Hungarian needed—museum staff often speak English, and guided tours for visitors are common
+
Unique angle compared with typical museum tours: baby-paced, short (60 min), small group for a calm experience - Topic and featured artists may be less internationally famous than big-name Western European or U.S. counterparts
Cons
Limited to parents with infants under one, so not ideal for families with toddlers/older kids
Small group cap (17) means spots can sell out; advance booking likely needed
Compared with similar “baby-friendly” museum hours in the U.S./UK, English-language guarantees and stroller logistics may be less standardized without checking ahead
