The fairytale castle-like lookout terrace built to replace the medieval town walls of Buda overlooks the Pest side and the Parliament building in particular. Famous of its panoramic views and the 7, richly ornate towers symbolizing the seven Hungarian tribes who conquered the actual territories of Hungary in 896. Named after the Fishermen of Buda, who had the task to protect this segment of the town walls in the Middle Ages, it really is one of the most beautiful highlights of any Budapest driving or walking tour.

Chairlifting to the Elizabeth Tower on the top of St. John hill in Buda is always a special experience. However, it's even more special in autumn, as you can see the beautiful colours all around you and of course can also enjoy the magnificent view over the city from the top of our beautiful Budapest.

We had a quite unusual and rather special Foodie Tour this weekend with my travellers. Instead of visiting several markets and shops in the city we focused on the Pig Slaughtering Festival held on this beautiful and sunny weekend in Budapest. I can't tell you how much we were overwhelmed with all the sausages and meat, the amazing smells and flavours. We tasted so many different things that in 4 hours I ate just as mush as I usually do in a week. I'm very proud of all our meat products and what I can recommend you the most is to try mangalica sausage, which is probably the best of the best.

I woke up early this morning and witnessed a most unique moment: the sun rising up over the beautiful buildings of Pest. It was just a few seconds but made my entire day. Tip: the best location in Budapest to watch sunrise is the top of the Fisherman's Bastion (I took the video and the picture from there) or the top of Gellért hill.

It doesn’t belong neither to Buda nor to Pest, still, it’s one of the locals’ favorite hangout places in the heart of the city. Named after St. Margaret, daughter of our great king Bela IV, Margaret Island is like our own Central Park, the green oasis of Budapest. You can hire a special bike for up to 6 people or a small electric car to see the beautiful parks, botanical gardens, the small zoo or the ruins of the monastery where our princess lived and helped the poor and the sick throughout her life in the 13th century. Don't miss the musical fountain in the summer months, it's such a cool experience! The islan is accessible from both the Margaret and Arpad bridges and I'd be happy to include the visit in our city tours or walking tours!

Pécs is a really long drive from Budapest, but believe me it's worth the time and energy. A beautiful little town with so much history from as early as 2000 years ago, some rare relics and architecture from the Ottoman era, fascinating Baroque architecture and more. The visit of the Zsolnay Quarter is part of my Pécs and Villány tour, it's a unique experience if you would like to learn more about Hungarian ceramics and porcelain and Vilmos Zsolnay, the greatest figure of Hungarian pottery. The Zsolnay project was a monumental industrial historic building reconstruction project in the original factory plant exceeding 5 hectares. The main aim was to create a lively cultural center to commemorate the Zsolnay heritage and to recreate the factory plant an attractive cultural district with the operating production also being part of the plant. You can have a look at the special collections of the Handicraft / Artisan and Creative districts or enjoy the facilities of the Children and Family district.

Every year, around the 20th of August, St. Stephen's day, you can meet great Hungarian Folk Art designers and artists, truly amazing people creating Hungarian handicraft products in the Buda Castle District. The best of the local pottery, jewellry, wooden products, ceramics, fabrics an much more can be seen and purchased. You can also try some of the hard work as weaving, sewing or doing embroideries. Also, it's a great opportunity to taste some Hungarian treats!

Yes, I agree, it's becoming more and more of a tourist attraction, it's hard to believe that it still is one of the favorite shopping places of Budapesters. I went to the market with my grandmother for the first time when I was some 5-years-old. Honestly, that time I couldn't tell he difference between the poors' and riches' aisle but was fascinated by the smells and the products. The visit of the 120-year-old building, which looks exactly like a train station is part of my Foodie Tour (except on Sundays when it's closed), I'd be glad to introduce you to our shopping and eating culture and I'll also make sure you taste the best sausage and strudel at the market.

My food and wine tours are really popular, it makes me very happy as I'm very proud of our gastronomy and of the wines my country has to offer. The new tour takes you to Tokaj, probably the most known Hungarian wine region, that's where Tokaji Aszu, the most famous Hungarian sweet white wine comes from. The tour includes the visit of several little villages and local winemakers, it also introduces you the Jewish heritage and traditions of the Tokaj wine region. Let me know if you're interested, I'd be happy to send you more details.

I always encourage my guests to take public transport, it's cheap, convenient and very easy. What's more is that you can enjoy such a great view from the trams, buses or boats, don't miss it!
