Explore Buda and Pest as you take a fantastic journey through major parts of the city. As you begin your tour, you will be able to see Gellért Hill rising from the banks of the River Danube that flows through the heart of the city.

Stroll through Buda in the Castle District as you enjoy the first stop of the day. Admire the stunning colourful church roof of the Matthias Church and the photographers dream; The Fisherman’s Bastion, which provides panoramic windows and a fabulous vista overlooking the river and the city.

Hop on the bus and travel to Gellért Hill (Citadel). Offering natural protection from invasion, and a convenient place to cross the river, it was here that the earliest settlers decided that it was the ideal place to build a town. You will have some time to look at the city below, and some of its most famous landmarks.

After crossing the Elisabeth bridge to Pest, you will pass the Central Market Hall; both a local and a tourist hotspot, Dohány Street Synagogue; the largest synagogue in Europe, City Park; a beautiful green space in the middle of the city before arriving at Heroes' Square; home to the statues of the greatest figures of Hungarian history as well as a 36m column adorned by Archangel Gabriel.

Be in awe of the magnificence of the Grand Opera House and St Stephen´s Basilica, before making your final stop at the largest building in Hungary.

Completed in 1902, The Parliament building is an impressive example of Neo-Gothic architecture. The Intricate detailing on both the exterior and interior will leave you breathless. On a guided tour, marvel at the richly decorated central staircase, walk through the famous halls whilst learning about the history of Hungary dating back 1000 years and visit the Great Hall of the Cupola, which houses the Hungarian Crown Jewels and the Hungarian Holy Crown.

You will not be disappointed with all that Budapest has on display. Remember to take your camera to capture moments and memories to last a lifetime!
