Why take this tour?
Your tour will begin in the heart of the Castle District and hear about the history of the area. Get some light exercise climbing the steps up to the Royal Palace. As you pass the old-world charm of Hess András, Holy Trinity and Disz Square, you’ll also have the chance to see sites slightly off the beaten path, like the military museum, Lions Courtyard and the Vienna Gate.
Continuing on through the cobblestone streets, stop at the beautiful Matthias Church, named after King Matthias, and also known as The Church of Our Lady
Your guide will end your tour with a glimpse of the seven towers. Head to the lookout point of Fisherman’s Bastion, which boasts one of the best views of the city. Take a picture from the top as you spot Margaret Island, Parliament and the beautiful waters of the Danube below. After admiring the panoramic view, you’ll have the option of traveling back to your original departure point with your guide or continuing to explore the area on your own. Cafe stop with a cake is included.
Budapest Night Walking Tour and River Cruise (2.5-3 hours)
The city of Budapest sparkles at night and this evening tour is the perfect way to experience it. Explore the streets first with your local guide, who will pass on stories of illustrious Hungarians and the surrounding architecture.
You’ll hear about where the first Hungarians came from, and the facts behind the famous Attila the Hun. As you walk through the city and admire the buildings illuminated with light, you’ll have the chance to ask questions and take photos of the glowing Buda Castle District and the Danube Promenade.
Then, give your legs a rest and climb aboard an evening cruise on the Danube. Enjoy a free welcome drink and the chance to see the top attractions from the water. Glide past the impressive Parliament building, under the Chain Bridge and much more. Commentary will also be provided if you’re interested in learning more about the scenery you pass along the way.
