Wednesday Optional tour – Budapest City Tour
The Hungarian capital Budapest is a relatively young city, emerged only in the late 19th century as a result of the merger of two neighbouring towns - Buda on the western bank of the Danube and Pest on the eastern bank.
Set on the hills, Buda represents a historic part of the city and is a home to the grand Hapsburg palace which still breathes the imperial air of old-time wealth. While in Buda – standing on the Castle Hill or Gellért Hill – you can enjoy a sweeping view of the opposite Pest, which lies across the river. Compared to Pest, Buda is considerably more relaxed, with its life running at a much slower pace and its profile kept much lower too.
During this 3-hour sightseeing tour you will see the highlights of the city.
On the Buda side, you will discover the Castle Area by walk, the Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion.
On the Pest side the tour will go on by coach. The Heroes Square, Andrássy út, the Opera House, Basilica and Parliament can be seen.
To pump up the tour, we will have a sweet stop at the world-famous Gerbeaud House, where you can enjoy not only the atmosphere of a Coffee House of the Millennium time, but also a delicious traditional dessert with a coffee or tea.
The registration fee includes: the guided tour, entrance fees to the Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion, Cake stope at Gerbeaud House.
