Overview

You have just 1 day to see everything? Or you have no idea what else Budapest can offer?This is your best chance.I will show you top attractions and hidden gems, gastronomy and local's life. Let me introduce you to our enchanting history of over 1000 years, let me show you the most breathtaking places and make you have fun.

We start our time traveling experience on the first historical underground metro line in the Continental Europe, and go to the Heroes Square.
We are still on the Pest side, when we get hungry, so we will go to a local restaurant, where I will help you choose between, "Gulyás Leves", "Marhapörkölt" and other delicious items on the menu, and than we continue on our journey.

We will use public transportation only to cover longer distances. By the afternoon we will be on the Buda side, searching for the "Buda Castle", and finish the tour at the Matthias Church. By the end of the tour i will give you some ideas what else you can do here if you have more days than one.
