Tour description
Explore the 'Pearl of the Danube' on this free walking tour through the heart of Budapest. With a local guide you'll stroll the elegant Pest riverbank, stand before the magnificent neo-Gothic Parliament, cross the iconic Chain Bridge and take in sweeping views of Buda Castle across the water. Hear the story of two cities united into one — from Roman times and Ottoman rule to the grandeur of the Austro-Hungarian empire — and get insider tips on ruin bars, thermal baths and Hungarian goulash. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end.
