Tour description
Discover the “Pearl of the Danube” on a free walking tour through the heart of Budapest. Led by a local guide, you will stroll along the elegant Pest embankment, admire the magnificent Neo-Gothic Parliament Building, cross the iconic Chain Bridge, and take in panoramic views of Buda Castle across the river. Hear the story of two cities merged into one—from Roman times and Ottoman rule to the golden age of the Austro-Hungarian Empire—while picking up insider tips on ruin bars, thermal baths, and Hungary's famous goulash. Free to join—simply tip your guide whatever you feel the tour was worth at the end.
