Highlights
Please read EVERYTHING before booking. Budapest is by far one of the most beautiful capitals of Europe, but if you are interested in getting a more authentic feeling of how life looks like farther away from the center, this is your type of tour. Whether you have seen the major attractions of the city, or are just keen on hidden gems, join me on a tour of my district, which bares the name of Queen Elisabeth (Sisi) of Hungary: Pest-Elisabeth. I invite you to see life through the eyes of a local, walking along our award winning main street, taking a look at one or the other shop, and stopping by our elegant neo-gothic church, dedicated to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Once done with our district center, I will take you to the place we love to go to chill the most, when the weather is already fine to sit outside: the district riverfront. This is a marvelous blend of small scale investments and nature a few steps away from the residential areas.

Itinerary
Our meeting place may nowadays be not particularly interesting, but it used to be the exchange spot for wine traders bringing their goods over to the Pest side of the city. In Roman times we also had a small outpost located in the vicinity. This is from where we take the bus to district XX.
Impressively positioned in the middle of a small park at the end of the main street of the 20th district, this church dominates the area and attracts all attention.
The historical town hall of District XX is located in the absolute center of the district and is a fine example of Hungarian Art Nouveau through its oriental tapestry like walls and curving windows. In front of the town hall we will be able to see queen Elisabeth's iconic statue with one of her dogs.
The riverfront part of the district has changed a lot in previous years and a number of nice and quirky establishments have surfaced since then. We have a luxury hotel, a local thermal bath, an elegant restaurant, boat houses and also something very reminiscent of a ruin bar/terrace: the Halas Guszti. This is Budapest at its best especially towards the evening hours by the riverside.

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) .
