Welcome to Budapest: Private Guided Walking Tour
Explore the highlights of the beautiful Hungarian capital of Budapest, on this half-day walking tour around the city's main highlights.
Considered one of Europe’s most strikingly beautiful cities, Budapest contains an incredible array of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is an amalgamation of two independent settlements of Buda and Pest that were joined in 1873. Budapest is split by a wide sweep of the mighty River the Danube, Europe’s second-longest river (the Volga is the longest) that stretches from the Black Forest to the Black Sea. The city is rich in geothermal water resources, with thousands of subterranean pools spouting mineral-rich waters dating back over 2,000 years.
Experience the buzz of Pest, the vibrant cultural hub on the eastern banks of the Danube. You’ll get to walk around Castle Hill with its sweeping vista overlooking the city, and your tour will end at Fisherman's Bastion terrace, to enjoy the best views of the city at your leisure!
