Private Tour to Buda Castle District and Budapest Center

Description

I offer fully customized walking tours. Beyond the main information about the essentials, I try to present the minds of Budapesters through anecdotes, news and aspects of the daily life of Budapesters. Cultural curiosities and Hungarian gastronomy are also among my favorite subjects. The half-day tour I propose ensures both the discovery of the main monuments and departure from the beaten track. During this walk, we will have the opportunity to discover the Buda Castle district and the city center with among others the Matthias Church, the Fishermen’s Bastion, the Parliament (outdoor), the famous bronze shoes and the Basilica of St. John the Virgin.Outside Etienne. This framework not only allows us to discuss interesting topics such as the Hungarian currency, the national economy or the standard of living, but also to discover the works of Kolodko, Banksy’s Hungarian counterpart.

Nice guided tour

Peter was able to meet our expectations: visit to Budapest on the Art Nouveau theme accompanied by anecdotes about the history of this beautiful city. We completed this visit with the Mathias Church. On his advice, we went to the House of Hungarian Music: to have a permanent exhibition. Follow this guide without hesitation.
