Gyula’s Almásy Castle invites families to a playful Sunday adventure for little explorers in 2026. The Castle Tour with Dönci the Dachshund starts every Sunday at 11:00 in the Castle Garden (Várkert), tailored to short attention spans and curious hands. History turns hands-on and giggly as kids follow the beloved guide dog through the mansion’s most intriguing rooms, discovering secrets in a way that feels like play, not class.
Playful guided walk
Meet Count Dénes the Dachshund—Dönci—who “knows everything” about the castle and nudges children to take him along. The tour lasts about 45 minutes, a perfect “dog walk” pace for smaller visitors. After the guided part, families can loop back to favorite spots and try the interactive tools that fascinated the kids most.
