Itinerary
1
Szechenyi Lanchid
The itinerary is fully personalized for you. Your host may suggest walking to the iconic 19th-century suspension bridge guarded by majestic lions and take a post-card perfect photo taken.
2
St. Gellert Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool
See the architecturally significant building of thermal pools which are part of the famous Hotel Gellert complex. Learn about the thermal bath culture and ask your host to help you to book a session that you can enjoy during the rest of your stay.
3
Liberty Statue
Do you feel like climbing up a hill? If you like walking and the weather allows it, the host will recommend walking up to the Liberty Statue. The walk can be hard but the view will be paying off, no doubt! There are also buses and taxis that can take you up the hill, so if you don't feel like walking but you're still keen on seeing the view the host can arrange transportation for you.
4
Buda Castle
Here's another great historic place where you can learn about Hungarian culture and history. Little shops and stalls line up to sell handcrafted souvenirs. In the spring and summer months there are many free open-air events which can help you to connect with the Hungarian heritage.
5
Matthias Church
Your host will suggest to walk past the 14th-century church named for King Matthias, who married here. You can also book a visit to see the church and the ecclesiastical museum.
6
Fisherman's Bastion
Admire this 19th-century fortress with 7 turreted lookout towers offering panoramic views (you'll need to buy a ticket to access the viewpoints) plus there's a lovely cafe on terrace.
7
St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika)
If you'd like to explore Pest, your host will suggest to walk towards the St. Stephen’s Basilica, a Neoclassical masterpiece that was once the site of an 18th-century theatre. If time allows head up to the cupola and look across the river for views of the Buda side of the city. This will require purchasing a ticket (not included).
8
Hungarian State Opera House (Magyar Allami Operahaz)
Walk down Andrassy ut, you'll soon realize why Budapest is also known as the Paris of the east. Walk past the beautiful Opera house, one of the finest examples of Neo-Renaissance architecture in existence today.
9
Heroes' Square
Heroes’ Square takes pride of place at the end of Andrassy Avenue, Budapest’s Champs-Élysées-esque boulevard. Heroes’ Square features the colossal Seven Chieftains of the Magyars statue complex and the Memorial Stone of Heroes, which stands in tribute to those who have died defending Hungary. The Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace of Arts are also positioned around the outside edges of the square, which make an informative cultural addition to any guided tour of the area.
10
Central Market Hall
Are you a foodie? Then ask your host to take you to the Great Market Hall (Nagycsarnok) and learn about Hungarian food and the best local ingredients. This magnificent venue holds more than 100 stalls over three floors, housed in a wonderful, Neo-Gothic-style building.
