As you travel from each major landmark, learn the rich history behind Budapest and its architectural gems. At lunchtime you have the option to wat in a typical Hungarian restaurant (own expense). After lunch a walking tour through Buda awaits you. Experience the historic Royal Palace, the romantic Fishermen’s Bastion, Matthias Church, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Margaret Island with its gorgeous parks and recreational facilities.
