Budapest, especially Pest has never been homogeneous – thinking of the all ethnic groups and the architecture. During the Habsburg times, there were more German-speaking inhabitants living in today’s downtown than Hungarians, let alone other nationalities. Later on the ratio changed, but all these different eras left their mark on the buildings. In one street you can see Classical, Art- Nouveau, Socialist style as well we few modern buildings. But buildings here are not made of stones, they are made of STORIES and formed by PEOPLE.
Sights included in this tour are:
St Stephen’s Basilica (interior + dome)
Parliament building (outside)
Opera house (outside and hall)
Andrassy avenue
House of Terror (outside)
Academy of Music
Heroes’ Square
Széchenyi bath
City Park
Danube bank
Shoe Memorial
Market Halls
Hungarian House of Photography
Hungarian House of Art Nouveau

You can encounter small local workshops in the downtown with delicate and quality art. Modern craftsmen/women and designers react to current trends and also differ from them dwelling on traditional motifs, patterns and methods. It’s a colourful world of textile, clothes, shoes, hats, accessories and last but not least perfume.
For example, you can enter a world full of secrets in the showroom of the “Hungarian Nose” aka perfumer, a young gentleman who was studying at the Versailles Perfume Academy and is creating scents for stars, businessmen, weddings etc. In his “hobby” showroom there is a selection of fine niche perfume from small manufacturers… You can also spend some time trying on unparalleled unique hats in a place where the simple word “hat” gains other meanings. Materials and shapes you wouldn’t imagine in your wildest dreams suddenly make you feel wearing hats is for you. And feel at home at the textile workshop, an association of various artists. Unique materials and techniques, vivid colours leave us amazed and with ideas for our own homes. These are just a few of the many places you can visit.

For those wanting to walk in the Castle District and see more than the Matthias Church and the Fishermen’s Bastion, this tour is meant just for you.
This small area has seen more turmoil and prosperity than other parts of the country altogether. As the royal court, it served as the centre of administration and knowledge as well as the capital for long. King Matthias set up his observatory and library, the Turks stored gun-powder in the palace, several battles and sieges took place. Besides admiring the view of Pest, you can gain access to places excluded from guidebooks on our Fabulous tour!
Several battles and sieges took place in our city. The last was the blood-drenched siege of 1944-45 winter at the end of WWII (you can still see bullet holes on some buildings). For weeks the Buda castle citizens found a refuge in the mostly naturally created cave system under today’s nicely restored houses. Yes, there is a 3-level cave system undernearth the Buda Castle hill.
We usually say Buda is like a town within the city – it’s so compact with all you need for modern everyday life but it’s also like a bubble and a time capsule.
