You will walk through Heroes' Square and Andrássy Avenue, explore alleys and secret courtyards. Hear the legends of the local castle, see the sculpture that won the Grand Prix at the World Exhibition in Paris over 100 years ago, and witness the metro station that doesn't exist. And you will also find out how and why the city ducks blackmailed the locals.
