Let’s discover the elegant Pest side and stroll around Heroes’ square, City Park, Andrássy Avenue, the Opera House, the St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Parliament. Join my Pest Walking Tour if you’re about to reveal all the secrets of this young and beautiful metropolis.

Pest represents wealth and chic. Most of the buildings and the city’s structure originate from the 19th century when Hungary was part of the large and extremely rich Austro-Hungarian Empire. I’d like to show you the most beautiful palaces and monuments from that period.

We’ll start our walk at the monumental Heroes square, because I’d like to tell you more about our country’s history of over 1100 years. I’ll show you around the City Park, which is famous for the city’s largest bathhouse, the Budapest Zoo and the fairy tale Vajdahunyad castle. We’ll stroll around the Budapesters’ favourite park, so that you can absorb its special atmosphere.

Later, we’ll take Europe’s second oldest, 120-year-old Millennium Underground to get back to the city center, I’ll take you to the State Opera House. I’ll show you around the main foyer and will also share with you all the secrets of this very special building. We’ll visit the largest and richest church of Budapest, the St. Stephen’s Basilica. We’ll tour around the city center. You’ll see WW2 and Communist memorials and the neighborhood of the Liberty square.

I’ll introduce you the Parliament building which most probably is one of Budapest’s symbols. I’ll tell you everything you need to know about Europe’s second largest Parliament. We’ll then take a walk along the famous Danube Promenade, I’ll also take you to the Shoe Memorial at the river.
