Summary
Shy away from the usual tourist stops on this walking experience with a local guide, and get an inside look at Budapest’s alternative culture. First scout out the synagogues in the Jewish Quarter, hidden slightly from view. Next, head to some of Budapest’s most impressive street art galleries to immerse yourself in the underground art scene, before making a quick stop at a cool coffeehouse (own expense) and photo gallery.
