Private walking tour in Budapest in Dutch

This tour allows you to see and admire all the highlights of Budapest in just one day. Recommended for those who are visiting the bustling Hungarian capital, the “Queen of the Danube” for the first time and want to get an overview of the main attractions. On this tour, you will get to know the UNESCO historical sites both in Buda/Buda (Castle Hill, Matthias Church, Fishermen’s Bastion, Gellért Hill) and in Pest (Parliament House, Szt.István/St. Stephen’s Basilica, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes’ Square, City Park) and the bridges over the Danube. During a guided tour of the Castle Hill in Buda/Buda you will wander around picturesque streets where the nobility of Buda once lived, you will visit the Matthias Church also known as the Nagyboldogasszony Temple or Church of Our Lady and from the Fishermen’s Bastion you will have a beautiful view across the Danube River and the magnificent Parliament Building of Hungary. Walking further you arrive at the former Royal Palace. Today it is an imposing building with a facade of no less than 300 meters. The palace now serves as a museum: the National Gallery with a rich collection of Hungarian art, the Historical Museum and also the National Széchenyi Library are located here. Based on the decision of the Hungarian government, the National Hauszmann Program was launched in February 2019. The program aims to bring back the glory of the 19th and 20th centuries in the Buda/Buda Castle District. The palace complex is now being reconstructed, the reconstruction of the Guardhouse, the Stable and the Csikósudvar (court) with the statue in front of the new Stable has already been completed. The area between the parliament building and the Szt.István/Saint Stephen’s Basilica in Pest is a real gem with its Art Nouveau architecture. This also includes stories about the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy, events in World War II or the Hungarian uprising of 1956. The tour can be done partly on foot and partly by public transport, as the main historical sites are sometimes far from each other, such as in Pest and Buda/Buda.
