Description

This tour essentially aims at kickstarting your Budapest experience by providing you an overview of the main attractions, but can be adjusted to your needs, should you want to deviate from the proposed itinerary. You will be needing a public transportation pass. For details feel free to contact me in advance. We will meet in Heroes' Sq. under archangel Gabriel, as this is the most outlying area. The square is the most grandiose one of the nation, aimed at providing a crash course into 1000 years of Hungarian history in Europe, making legends and legendary personalities come to life. Behind the square lies City Park, one of the green lungs of the city, with a lot more to discover than we have time for (The Szechenyi Baths, the Zoo, the Hungarian House of Music, etc.). Our focus will be on Vajdahunyad Castle, an architectural masterpiece and almost fairly tale like building dominating the park. If the Witcher, or Dracula rings a bell, this must be on your bucket list and I will tell you why in person. We will take a ride along the first underground of continental Europe all the way to the central area of the city, where we will walk by St. Stephen's Cathedral towards the Hungarian Parliament. These two buildings dominate the Pest skyline and no other building in downtown Budapest may be built higher, but I will tell you all about that during the tour. We hop on the iconinc Budapest tram, for a change, and ride one stop until the Chain Brindge, the earliest symbol of the unification of the city. The main highlight of our tour will be the exploration of the castle district composed of three separate areas: the residential, the administrative and the royal one. You will get to see one of the places with the best views in the world according to 2023 research: the Fisherman's Bastion. You may choose to remain here, but I am also happy to escort you back down to the city center, to Deak Ferenc Sq. which is by the Jewish Quarter.
