Still the best spot to start this tour is the Museum of Applied Arts, the masterpiece of Ödön Lechner who is often referred to as the Hungarian Gaudí. Following a pleasant walk we take a short tram ride back to the city centre where most of our famous Art Nouveau buildings can be found. After having observed several modern constructions of the style around Váci street, we pop into the Gresham Palace to enjoy the luxurious atmosphere of the past and the present. Reaching Liberty Square we can’t miss to take a coffee brake in the House of Hungarian Art Nouveau that even has a private collection of the time. Finally, we must wonder around and explore the square as all of the buildings are from the same period. Last but not least we must admire the Hungarian State Treasury and its unforgettable rooftop that is invisible from street level nevertheless we bring it close to you.

In this 3-4 hour walking tour the public transport ticket and a drink is included.

Description

During the tour you get to see the breathtaking pieces of architecture in a style that started to flourish towards the end of the 1900’s. In merely 20 years numerous masterpieces were constructed according to the various branches of the Secessionist Movement present in Europe. Viennese Secession, Jugendstil, French and Belgian Art Nouveau and finally for the first time, a real “National Style” was also born: the Hungarian Art Nouveau. Among these beautiful edifices we offer you the chance to admire Gresham Palace, the Hungarian National Treasury, the Museum of Applied Arts and much more that you could ever find in a guidebook. A coffee stop is also included in the tour at a marvellous Art Nouveau scene.

About operator:

Budapest means home, beauty and mystery to me. If you walk on the streets, the secrets reveal, but only if you watch and listen carefully. Discovering it all is a way of art that I would love to show to everybody in its whole sense. Let me accompany you and open up a city, a new world that you will never forget and will always just want to come back. My passion & love to my hometown comes from my childhood and especially from my parents who always raised my attention to the smallest details on buildings wherever we went – whether in Budapest or on our holiday travels. Later I went to a tourism-specialised bilingual secondary school where I later took my tour guiding exams as well and got my license by the end of the studies. At Eötvös Loránd University I studied art history and during my studies I soon realised that this is what this is what I want to do for the rest of my life: to show everybody how unbelievably beautiful and rich architectural details decorates this wonderful city!
