About this activity

A curated 3-hour journey across Budapest's dual landscape, combining Buda's hilltop monuments with Pest's grand boulevards via comfortable transport. Your guide reveals the stories behind UNESCO-protected landmarks while you skip the walking and maximize sightseeing across the Danube's two distinct districts.

Discover all the most important sights in Budapest with your tour guide during a 3-hour city tour. Let us show you the main attractions on both sides of the River Danube. 

UNESCO-listed Budapest boasts many iconic sights, but exploring both sides of the Danube in a day can be difficult. Save time and traverse the hills of Buda and long avenues of Pest with ease in provided transport. 

Visit many city highlights, including the Chain Bridge, Gellért Hill, Széchenyi Thermal Baths, and more, benefiting along the way from a professional guide’s insights into the city’s history.

Due to the current pandemic, the programs may be subject to change. 

Please note: This tour does not include hotel pick up and drop off service. This means that you will have to arrange your transfer on your own in order to reach the designated meeting point and start the tour.
