Our immersive adventure begins in front of the Dohany Street Synagogue - the largest synagogue in Europe and the most prominent symbol of Budapest’s Old Jewish Quarter. As you admire its Moorish Revival façade, your Licensed Guide will share the stories of the city’s rich Jewish heritage and the tragic events of World War II and the Holocaust.

Your walking tour continues through Budapest’s charming Old Town, where your guide will take you on a journey through the city’s past, present and future. Pass by the vibrant Elizabeth Square and Deák Ferenc Square, bustling with modern energy yet steeped in history. Although this is a group tour, our Expert Guides offer passion and expertise that will bring each landmark to life, offering deep historical context, hidden stories, and engaging anecdotes that go beyond the usual tourist facts.

The highlight of your tour is St. Stephen’s Basilica, a masterpiece of neoclassical design and one of Hungary’s most sacred landmarks. Skip the long lines and step inside to marvel at its soaring dome, opulent interiors with breathtaking frescoes and golden mosaics, and the revered Holy Right Hand relic of Hungary’s first king. Learn about the Basilica’s intricate craftsmanship and the role it plays in national celebrations. This premium experience includes an all-inclusive access, so at the end of the guided tour, you will have the option to independently visit the panoramic terrace, where breathtaking views of Budapest await.
