Day 01
The Grand Budapest Walk Through Pest and Buda
- The first half of the tour covers part of the city centre on the Pest side. We meet at Vigadó Square, from where we have a panoramic view of the Danube and both sides.
- After a brief orientation, we make our first stop at Saint Stephen's Basilica, crossing Vörösmarty and Erzsébet squares.
- We then explore the elegant Andrássy Avenue, and after a short walk through the Jewish quarter, we arrive at the largest synagogue in Europe.
- After the first half of the tour, we take a short break and have a coffee or a sandwich in a nearby café.
- Afterwards, we rest our feet for a while and take public transport to the Buda side - for this, I recommend that all guests bring 2 single tickets or a season ticket.
- We continue our walk in the Castle District of Buda, where we explore the emblematic buildings of Holy Trinity Square, Matthias Church, Fishermen's Bastion with a view of Parliament and the Pest side, and the picturesque Tóth Árpád Promenade.
- We then continue to the former government district until we reach the heart of the former royal palace and are rewarded for the long walk with the most beautiful panorama of the city.
