Description

Embark on a concise 2-hour walking tour through Budapest's historical gems. Visit Matthias Church and the iconic Fishermen's Bastion, delve into the rich history of Buda Castle, and explore Old Buda Town Hall.

Located on the 1, 6 mile long Castle Hill by the 13th century the area became the second capital of Hungary, so since then it has been surrounded by a fortified wall. In the Middle Ages wealthy citizens lived there and it played a central part in our history. Over the last 750 years the district has seen Hungarian, German, Turkish, Austrian and so many other people. Each and every building has a story to tell - and I will love sharing them with you. My tour is fully customizable with personal touch, humor and has inside information, plenty of history to bring this magnificent city to life. Whether the Royal Palace or the Matthias Church you will enjoy all the sites, not to forget the superb views. Come along with me to witness charming architecture!
