Introduction to the Local Culture + Hungarian Language Class (3hrs)
Combine a basic lesson in Hungarian with an insightful tour to some major Budapest monuments with a light hearted 3-hour class and tour that provides an easy introduction to the Magyars’ playfully poetic language along with helpful pointers about navigating around Budapest.
During an initial introductory session held amid informal settings, personalized classes teach the basics of Hungarian, such as survival phrases and polite ways to interact with locals; visitors are then provided with customized orientation sessions and specific recommendations for visiting Budapest before taking a guided walk along historic Andrássy Avenue to Heroes’ Square. During the class participants can ask questions about Hungarian life and culture.

Great / Central Synagogue (Nagy Zsinagoga)
Meeting at front of the well-known landmark of Budapest and starting the class just across the Great Synagogue, at our partners Café. The Dohány Street Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue is a historical building in Erzsébetváros, the 7th district of Budapest, Hungary. It is the largest synagogue in Europe, seating 3,000 people and is a centre of Neolog Judaism.
In the shades of sidewalks in Budapest downtown. You can always pop in durong the day for a coffee, or later for a beer here, and make new friends. As they say: "Fabulous. Friendly service and the atmosphere was great. We spent quite a bit of time there and one of our evenings was totally memorable - not least for the astonishingly small bill at the end!"
Astoria is the colloquial, unofficial name of a major road intersection in the Budapest city centre and it can also refer to a station of the M2 metro line. It is named after Grand Hotel Astoria at its corner. fIt is the crossing point of Rákóczi út and Small Boulevard. Colloquially, a short section of the roads originating from the actual intersection, reachable by a few minutes of walking, can be also named Astoria (as in a neighborhood), for example "Az Astorián lakom" (I live on Astoria) does not imply having a residence neighboring the actual intersection (which has few residential buildings), rather one near the intersection along one of the major roads.
