About this experience
Budapest is incredibly multifaceted and vibrant, and to get to know it better, it is not enough to hastily visit its main attractions. I will help you explore the history of Budapest and Hungary in the pattern of city streets and take you to places not all locals visit. Life in my favorite city is constantly evolving, and I keep track of how it is changing and what else it can surprise with. Therefore, you will definitely learn where to try the most delicious national cuisine, in which thermal spring to dive, and stay informed about the events that have taken place in Budapest in recent years.
What to expect
The historical face of the city
You will definitely get acquainted with the most iconic places in Budapest under the auspices of UNESCO. You will walk along Andrássy Avenue from Heroes' Square, see Vajdahunyad Castle, Széchenyi Thermal Bath, the famous Opera and St. Stephen's Basilica. Do not miss the Chain Bridge and the Parliament building. I will take you to Buda Castle District, where Matthias Church and the two main palaces - the Royal and the Presidential - are located, and I will tell you about the important milestones in the history of the Hungarian capital. The Holocaust, the years of the Soviet regime, the Warsaw Pact era, and the accession to the European Union - all this has left its mark on the city's appearance, and during the tour you will see it.
The most interesting in Budapest
I never limit myself to the main attractions and stories of ancient times, because Budapest is alive, and something is constantly happening in it. You will learn how to find what the city is famous for: I will recommend a budget restaurant with Michelin-star cuisine, open in a market space, point out streets and quarters where it is best to take an evening stroll, and show you the way to famous thermal baths and ruin pubs. And besides, I will gladly tell you how Budapest became the most important city for European music, what a peculiar gift the city residents gave to themselves on a memorable date, and what Budapest has been breathing in the last decades.
