Budapest and Bratislava Highlights Day Tour from Vienna
Description
Travel through the Hungarian countryside before arriving in one of Europe’s most fascinating capitals. Begin in the historic Buda Castle District, once home to Hungarian kings, where cobbled streets lead you to the fairytale towers of Fisherman’s Bastion and the Gothic beauty of Matthias Church. From here, admire sweeping views of the Danube and the iconic Parliament across the river. Crossing into Pest, discover the grandeur of Heroes’ Square, lined with statues of Hungary’s historic rulers, and marvel at St. Stephen’s Basilica, the city’s largest church and home to a sacred relic. Along the way, your guide brings centuries of history to life, from royal coronations to the city’s turbulent role in World War II. There will be time to enjoy authentic Hungarian cuisine or coffee at a traditional café before returning comfortably to Vienna in the evening.
