Highlights
Discover the breathtaking pieces of an architectural style that started to flourish towards the end of the 1900s, together with the insights of an art historian. In merely 20 years numerous masterpieces were constructed according to the various branches of the Secessionist Movement present in Europe. Viennese Secession, Jugendstil, French and Belgian Art Nouveau and for the first time, a real Hungarian “National Style” was also born. Among these beautiful edifices, we offer you the chance to explore Gresham Palace in and out, the Hungarian National Treasury, the Hungarian Academy of Music, various sites in the famous and historic Váci shopping street and much more gems too than you could ever find in a guidebook. Such a tour could begin at a previously arranged location, such as your hotel, or we recommend meeting at the former House of Hungarian Art Nouveau. A coffee break is also included in the tour at a marvellous Art Nouveau landmark.

Itinerary
We will visit one of Budapest's most iconic and beautiful landmarks that carries the architectural features of Art Nouveau as one of its most recognisable prime examples. Exploring both the lush exterior and the interior of the building is part of the tour.
Parisian Passage Café. A recently renovated building that would make its Belgian counterparts shy. The tour will take you through its passage offering us a glimpse into its interior.
Located in the heart of the city, the building of the Academy of Music is a homage to Hungarian music and a grandiose example of the international secession style at the same time. We will venture inside the hall to see the mosaics and other details worthy to marvel at in the interior.
As we will walk through Budapest's most famous and historic fashion and shopping street we shall stop at various urban palaces to delve into their rich Art Nouveau heritage.
This exciting building will help us to understand the transition between the two major pre-war architectural styles, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. MIKSA ROTH!
The tour will take you to this fine example of Secession's Hungarian National branch. Expect marvellous architecture and enchanted castle-like details. LECHNER
Dedicated to the period of Secession in Hungarian architecture, this site that we will visit offers us an insight into the Hungarian National Style and its influences.
We will see some of the buildings of the Budapest Zoo taking us on a journey of the diversity of Art Nouveau and Secession architecture.
This site carries the trademarks of the Hungarian National Style of Secession which we will discover and discuss as we stop there. Since it is still under renovation we can only explore the building's facade.

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) .
