About this activity
On this unique tour, we'll take you "off the beaten track" through the fascinating and yet unknown sections of Budapest that are not highlighted on your map. During the tour, you are going to discover hidden wonders: romantic narrow streets and squares with fascinating architecture and hear the background stories surrounding them.
We’ll check out some of the stunning Art Nouveau buildings that dot the downtown streets of Budapest. Beautifully maintained and still lived in, they make a perfect backdrop for some great photos or selfies. Along the way we’ll also stroll through some of the city’s hidden courtyards where locals like to escape for a few minutes peace, and we’ll even stop by a small local market to people watch as locals pick out produce and chit chat with friends.
You will be guided through areas of the former ghetto during WWII where you will learn about the hardships and the everyday life of the Jewish quarter. Observe the lively ambience of the Gozsdu Courtyard - several blocks of buildings linked by one common corridor which serves as home to many shops and pubs. Sneak previews of local workshops and design shops are also included in the tour.
Of course, at the same time you'll get to experience the everyday hustle and bustle of the city, and while you are at it why not end the tour in an original "ruin-bar" of Budapest
