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. Mangalica, the truly Hungarian hairy pigBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tourBudapest Foodie tour

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!

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.

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!

The second largest park of Budapest, the locals' favorite, a beautiful green oasis in the middle of Pest. There are so many things to do and to see in the City Park. You can visit the 150-year-old Budapest Zoo, the City Circus, enjoy the truly relaxing warm water of Széchenyi bathhouse, admire the various architectures of Vajdahunyad Castle or simply have a picnic topped with a boat ride on the lake.

Although Füvészkert seems to be hard to pronounce but it's surely woth a try, as it's a true hidden gem in the 8th district of Budapest. The oldest and largest botanical garden of the city is from the 1770's and is home to more than 7.000 plant species on a 3-acre area. The 150-year-old Chinese gingko is the oldest tree in the park. You can admire the tropical and subtropical plants in the Palm House, Amazonas water lily in the Victoria glass house and the rich collection of palms, cactuses, bromelias and orchids. It's one of the major locations in Ferenc Molnár's 'Paul Street Boys', a famous Hungarian novel.

I love the evening tours, I tell my guests all the time that Budapest has two entirely different faces as it looks different during the day and during the night. My favorite building is the Parliament, it looks like a magnificent gingerbread cake with all the lights and colors of the night.
