A 2-hour tip-based small-group walk through Pest, from St Stephen's Basilica to Parliament, the Shoes on the Danube Bank, the Chain Bridge and Café Gerbeaud.
This small-group walking tour pairs Pest's most famous sights with a few places most visitors miss, and your local guide shares facts and legends you won't find in guidebooks. Starting behind St Stephen's Basilica, the city's largest Catholic church, you walk to the Hungarian Parliament and the Shoes on the Danube Bank Holocaust memorial. The route continues along the river to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Chain Bridge and the Romantic-style Vigadó concert hall. You then head into the centre for Vörösmarty Square and the historic Café Gerbeaud, finishing at Erzsébet tér by the Budapest Eye. Your guide is happy to share tips for the rest of your trip. The tour is tip-based, so you pay the guide what you think it was worth.
