The ultimate experience
Must-see sights in Budapest
Budapest
After Dark
Budapest at night is truly an incredible sight. Light reflected from the beautiful buildings or the Danube River gives it a magical aura that makes it very different from when it’s seen during the day. On this tour, we check out all the main attractions: the Parliament, St. Stephen’s Basilica, Liberty Square, Shoes on the Danube, Gresham Palace, Chain Bridge, Fishermen Bastion, Matthias Church …
First we go around the Pest side, then we’ll cross the river and take a bus up to Buda Castle. So you’ll need one or two bus tickets for the tour. We’ll explain in detail how public transport works. Since the tour starts quite late and lasts about 2.5 hours, it’s highly recommended having dinner before the tour.
We’ll talk about everything: history, people, funny stories and facts, food and drinks… If you are a photo enthusiast, you won’t find the setting better than this.
Every tour is a bit different, depending on what participants are interested in the most and what they had done in Budapest before joining. The goal is simple: that everybody enjoys the tour as much as possible!
The pace is relaxed, the atmosphere informal and friendly, suited for everybody. You’ll get a lot of inside information and recommendations about the best places to visit, restaurants, museums, bars, and thermal baths.
Budapest
Jewish Quarter
Budapest Jewish Quarter has always been the coolest part of the city. There are many must-see sights in Budapest, but it’s more than that. It’s the vibe—the authentic, local feel to it. You can experience the gritty side of Budapest, together with astonishing synagogues and a fascinating and tragic history of the Jewish people, who, before the Holocaust, were a big majority here. As Hungary lost about 650,00 Jews in the Holocaust, the numbers are much smaller today. However, the Jewish community is very vibrant and active in Budapest and still adds significantly to its distinctive spirit.
Budapest Jewish Quarter is also an incredible mix of history and urban culture. The street art, from beautiful big murals to small, intriguing stickers, adds another layer of cool to this part of the city. When you wander around these streets, time passes quickly as you encounter more and more hidden treasures. Last but not least are the famous ruin bars, such a distinctive part of Budapest. Led by Szimpla Kert, the coolest one, they add a whole new dimension to the “Party District,” as this part of the city is called.
