Overview

This 2.5-hour guided tour is absolutely entertaining: you see a number of important sights from the outside (including the Parliament, St. Stephen's Basilica, Andrássy Avenue, the Great Synagogue), discover beautiful, but lesser-known details ( Art Nouveau palaces, the small market hall, the old sub-paved railway), gets various local tips and insider recommendations, hears legends and stories from yesterday and today and gets a picture of how the people of Budapest live today.

During the tour we are only on foot, trying to avoid the larger crowds as much as possible.

Who do I recommend this tour to?

The tour itself is suitable for everyone (there are enough interesting things for the younger generation and since there are no long/difficult paths, it is easy to master even for less enthusiastic walkers), especially as an introductory tour (right on the first day) , because you can also collect a lot of tips for the next few days.
