This 4-hour grand walking tour, led by an experienced local guide, visits a mix of many of the city’s major sights and lesser-known ones which should not be missed. Focusing on the history of the city and the country, this tour covers a large area of the city, squeezing in many places of interest. In this neighborhood you will see some stunning buildings (many of which have seen better days) including the Hungarian National Radio Building (which was an important site during the 1956 Revolution) and the National Museum.

About Boedapest

Boedapest verbindt heuvelachtig Buda en vlak Pest aan de Donau: een statige hoofdstad van thermale baden, rivierpaleizen en levendige ruïnebars.

Aan de kant van Buda staan op de Burchtheuvel het Burchtpaleis, de Matthiaskerk en de witte torentjes van de Vissersbastei, die allemaal op de rivier neerkijken. De Kettingbrug leidt naar Pest, waar het Hongaarse Parlementsgebouw langs de oever ligt en de Sint-Stefansbasiliek een paar straten landinwaarts oprijst. De Gellértberg met zijn Citadella biedt het wijdste uitzicht.
