Walking along Andrássy Avenue feels like stepping back into the golden age of Budapest. Lined with elegant 19th-century villas and grand palaces, this iconic boulevard tells the story of a city at the height of its confidence, wealth, and ambition. Originally, these buildings were constructed as single-family homes for aristocrats, industrialists, and influential figures of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Many of them were designed by the same architects, which gives Andrássy Avenue its remarkably harmonious appearance. Behind the ornate façades lie stories of old wealth, social life, and a refined urban lifestyle that shaped modern Budapest. Today, Andrássy Avenue is not only one of the city’s most beautiful streets but also a key part of any Budapest sightseeing experience. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it connects the city centre with Heroes’ Square and showcases some of Budapest’s finest architecture, cultural institutions, and historic residences along the way. Exploring Andrássy Avenue is about more than admiring façades—it’s about understanding the people who lived here and the era they represented. I’m always happy to include this walk in my private, customised Budapest tours, sharing the hidden details and personal stories that bring these elegant buildings to life.

My favorite part of the year Budapest is getting more colorful and beautiful ever day. This is cherry blossom in the Buda Castle District. Come and see for yourself!

Working as a tour guide I often get the question whether I find my job boring, doing the same thing every day. Well, no. First of all, I spend all my time in Budapest, my favorite city, the place I lived all my life and I'm the most proud of. And of course I meet so many different people, you, my travellers make sure that every tour, every moment is unique and special. Have a look at some of my favorite Instagram pictures from last year to see how many different shapes of Budapest I'm fortunate to see every single day.

With over 250 tours I delivered last year I can't tell how fortunate I am to show my travellers around the city and the country I love the most. This is my home, my birthplace and I'm looking forward to introducing it to even more people in 2019! I've just had a look at which my most popular tours were last year: "THE GRAND BUDAPEST" WALK: a great introduction of Budapest to first time visitors or travellers who only have one day to see the main highlights and some of the hidden gems. BUDAPEST FOODIE TOUR: as I also work for a Hungarian food magazin, I'm really happy to take you to local markets and little artisan food shops and to make sure you taste all the great Hungarian treats. JEWISH QUARTER WALK: including the visit of the world's second largest synagogue and a walk in the ghetto which is today the Soho of Budapest with great cultural and creative vibes. DANUBE BEND TOUR BY CAR: it's a relatively short drive from Budapest and in only one day I can show you three very different little Hungarian villages and the stunning view over the bend of the Danube river. EGER AND WINE TOUR BY CAR: we love our wines and we love our wine countries, Eger, the postcard-like Baroque little town is famous for the Bull's Blood, the great Hungarian red wine.
