Walking Tour Budapest with Private Guide: 20+ Highlights

Walking Tour Budapest with Private Guide: 20+ Highlights

Come with me for a nice walk, I will show you hidden gems and top attractions. Let me introduce you to our enchanting history of over 1000 years. We have been through a lot, and this little country is still here waiting for it's story to be told.

For this reason, we start our time traveling experience at the Heroes Square, where I will also introduce you into the architectural styles, so you will easily recognize what you will see on the way. We will hop on the first historical underground metro line, and go to the city center.

We are still on the Pest side, when we get hungry, so we will go to a local restaurant, where I will help you choose between, "Gulyás Leves", "Marhapörkölt" and other delicious items on the menu, then wash the meal down with a glass of local wine and continue on our journey.

We will use public transportation only to cover longer distances. By the afternoon we will be on the Buda side, searching for the "Buda Castle", admire the views from the top of the Citadel.
