The Buda Castle Labyrinth (Budavári Labirintus) is a separate maze of caves that most visitors enter at the top of Várhegy. The displays include copies of the cave paintings of Lascaux (Buda's caves also sheltered prehistoric hunters), and a "bravery labyrinth", where you have to make your way through a section of cave in total darkness. Masked figures and a giant head sunken into the floor enliven other dank chambers. There's a cup of warming tea at the end of the optional 25-minute tour.
