  • Buda Castle, Budapest, Hungary
    Two buildings stand out on Castle Hill, the oldest part of Budapest, known for its narrow and cobbled streets and its baroque and Gothic facades: the massive and imposing palace on the southern tip of the hill and the colored roof of Matthias Church in the middle, with its rank steeple pointing towards the heavens.
    120 minutes
  • Budapest, Szent György tér 2, 1014 Hungary
    We start our tour at the palace, the ancient seat of royal power. It was rebuilt, extended, changed, burned down and rebuilt again several times over and it got its current eclectic appearances only after World War II. The first to build on Castle Hill was King Béla IV. He erected a fortress on this spot around 1250 after a devastating invasion by Mongolian hordes. In the Renaissance period, King Matthias made it into the most famous court in Europe at the end of the 15th century. Then came the Turkish pashas who ruled the country for over 150 years, followed by a succession of Hapsburg emperors.
    15 minutes
  • National Dance Theatre, Budapest, Hungary
    Discuss the changing function of the building throughout its history.
  • Sandor Palace, Budapest, Hungary
    The Sándor Palace is the official residence of the President of Hungary, and the seat of the Office of the President. It has served as both since 2003. The original palace was build in Neoclassical style in 1806. It was commissioned by Count Vincent Sándor, an aristocrat and a philosopher of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
    5 minutes
  • Matthias Church, Budapest, Hungary
    A highlight of the tour is Matthias Church with its abundantly decorated roof and amazing interior. The church is a very finely executed Neogothic reconstruction fantasy from the end of the 19th century and it is a strikingly beautiful building.
    20 minutes
  • Budapest, Szentháromság tér, 1014 Hungary
    Fisherman's Bastion is an architectural fantasy in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque styles designed and built between 1895 and 1902. Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th c. The terrace provides one of the most famous panoramic views of the Danube, Margaret Island, Pest and the Gellért Hill.
    20 minutes
  • Budapest, Bécsikapu tér, 1014 Hungary
    Our tour ends at the Vienna Gate, from where you can see all the way to Obuda (Old Buda), where the Romans founded the city then called Aquincum.

Kata is such a talented tour guide! What an experience to explore Budapest with her on our second day . She was full of energy and truly excited to show us everything she could and to explain what it all meant. Her knowledge of the city and the country’s history was broad and deep. It is hard to believe how much we crammed into just one day. Kata was so easy to listen to. We had questions not only about what we were seeing in Budapest, but how people were living and what life was really like. She had fantastic insights into life in Budapest. She knew every herb that was growing wild, as well as the intricacies of Budapest’s architecture. We hope that when we return to Budapest, she will be available to show us even more. We will never forget her smile. A+ for Kata.

We have used InsightCities for several tours in Vienna and they were truly fabulous and we did not hesitate to reach out for our quick overnight trip to Budapest. Bonita and her awesome team paired my husband, young adult son and I with another amazing guide Andras! Andras was so lovely, friendly and knowledgable about Budapest and Hungary and we learned so much from him about the rich history and current place in the world. We loved Budacastle and surrounding palaces and churches. He had great insights and knew secret places to go to the learn more about every place we visited.,He even altered our tour to combine it with the Jewish history of Budapest and took us to Dohany Street Synagogue and surrounding area. His love of learning and expertise on all of Budapest was so delightful and we do loved our amazing 3 hour your with Andras! Thank you all for another day!
