PRIVATE GUIDED TOURS

We’ll begin our walking tour at St. Stephen’s Basilica, the largest church in Budapest. Although entrance fees aren’t included, we can admire its grand neoclassical exterior and take in the view of the impressive dome. From here, it’s a short walk to Liberty Square, where we’ll stroll through this peaceful park, surrounded by historic buildings and monuments, including the Soviet War Memorial and a controversial statue symbolising Hungary’s WWII experiences.

​

Next, we’ll head towards the majestic Parliament Building, passing through streets lined with beautiful architecture. The Parliament’s grand design, right on the Danube’s edge, is breathtaking from the outside, making it an ideal photo stop.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Parliament, we’ll visit the poignant Danube Shoes memorial, where dozens of iron shoes line the riverbank, a touching tribute to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust during WWII.

​

From the river, we’ll continue our walk towards the iconic Chain Bridge, one of Budapest’s most famous landmarks. As we cross the bridge, we’ll enjoy spectacular views of both Buda and Pest, with the Castle Hill and Buda Castle in the background.

On the Pest side of the bridge, we’ll pass by the stately Hungarian Academy of Sciences, known for its neoclassical architecture and cultural significance. Just across the street is the magnificent Gresham Palace, an Art Nouveau masterpiece, now housing the Four Seasons Hotel. We’ll take in its striking details as we pass by.

​

Our next destination will be the vibrant Great Market Hall, Budapest’s largest indoor market. While we won’t go inside, the surrounding area is bustling with local vendors and the lively atmosphere of the market, perfect for experiencing the local flavor.

​

Finally, we’ll walk along Váci Street, the city’s main shopping street, filled with boutiques, cafes, and souvenir shops. This lively pedestrian street will be our last stop, giving us the chance to soak in the energy of the city center before we finish the tour.

​

Throughout the tour, we’ll explore some of Budapest’s most iconic sights, all from the outside, allowing you to experience the city’s history, architecture, and vibrant atmosphere.
