Prepare for the activity
Please meet your guide on the Buda side of the Chain Bridge (Lánchíd) at Clark Ádám tér (square), next to the Zero Kilometer Statue. This statue is below the Buda Castle (1st district) in a small park. Look for this giant stone statue of a zero (this is the point from where all distances in Hungary are measured) across the street from the entrance to the funicular. Your guide will be holding a tote bag with the local tour operator logo on it (so you can easily recognize each other).
