Highlights

Discover Pest, the vibrant, bustling city, financial and cultural center of the Hungarian nation. Established in the late 19th century it gained new prominence as the second capital of the newly-created Austro-Hungarian Empire. Signs of that momentous 19th-century rise are everywhere to be found on this Budapest walking tour. Get introduced to a wide range of local grape varieties, such as Bikavér, Kadarka , Olaszrizling and Furmint which are major players in Hungarian wine. We also focus on featuring lesser-known varieties and wines from small, family-run wineries that you won't find in larger chain stores or supermarkets. -4 glasses of wine (50 ml each glass) -Led by a sommelier -Tasting Notes -Duration: 1 hour

About Budapest

Budapest joins hilly Buda and flat Pest across the Danube, a grand capital of thermal baths, riverside palaces and lively ruin bars.

On the Buda side, Castle Hill holds Buda Castle, the Matthias Church and the white turrets of Fishermen's Bastion, all looking down on the river. The Chain Bridge crosses to Pest, where the Hungarian Parliament Building stretches along the bank and St Stephen's Basilica rises a few streets inland. Gellért Hill and its Citadella give the widest views.

Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
