Overview

Explore Budapest’s rich history and iconic landmarks on this one-day private tour for 1 to 7 people, perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, or small groups! After the tour, unwind in a thermal bath or at the Central Market.

The journey takes you through the best of the capital: stroll the cobbled streets of the Castle District, admire Matthias Church, and enjoy sweeping views from Fisherman’s Bastion. Take in the grandeur of Parliament and St. Stephen’s Basilica, walk lively Váci Street, and explore the Jewish Quarter. Continue along elegant Andrássy Avenue to the Opera, then arrive at Heroes’ Square and fairy-tale Vajdahunyad Castle.

We’ll end the day at a true hidden gem: Lukács Thermal Bath. Known for its healing waters, pools, saunas, and even an optional beer bath, it’s a quiet oasis where you can relax at your own pace or enjoy the baths with me after I settle you in. Prefer to skip bathing? We can visit the Central Market Hall instead or spend more time at other sites.

Szechenyi Lanchid (Pass by)

We’ll cross through the Chain Bridge, the city’s oldest and most iconic link between Buda and Pest. Built in 1849, it marked a new era of connection and unity for Budapest.

Hungarian Parliament Building

We’ll walk around Hungary’s impressive Parliament building, one of the largest and most beautiful in Europe, set right along the Danube. Nearby, we’ll visit the moving Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial, honoring the victims who were killed along the river during World War II.

St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika)

30m
Admission ticket not included

We’ll visit St. Stephen’s Basilica, the largest church in Budapest, named after Hungary’s first king. Inside, you’ll see its richly decorated interior and you can learn about the relic of St. Stephen’s right hand kept here.

Vaci Street

We’ll stroll along Váci Street, Budapest’s lively pedestrian avenue filled with shops, cafés, and history. From there, we’ll continue to the Danube Promenade, where beautiful river views and elegant old hotels capture the city’s 19th-century charm.

Jewish Quarter

We’ll explore Budapest’s Jewish District, home to the magnificent Great Synagogue, the largest in Europe. After seeing the area’s famous Ruin Pubs and street art, we’ll stop for lunch at one of the district’s lively and creative restaurants.

New York Palace

We’ll make a short stop at the New York Palace, one of Budapest’s most beautiful historic buildings, known for its ornate façade and lavish interior. Once a favorite meeting place for writers and artists, today it’s home to the famous New York Café, often called the most beautiful café in the world.

Andrassy Avenue

We’ll drive along Andrássy Avenue, Budapest’s grand boulevard lined with beautiful mansions, embassies, and palaces. This historic street leads us through some of the city’s most elegant neighborhoods all the way to Heroes’ Square.

Hungarian State Opera House (Magyar Allami Operahaz)

We’ll make a short stop at the Hungarian State Opera House, one of Budapest’s finest examples of 19th-century architecture. I’ll share a few stories about its history before we continue along elegant Andrássy Avenue.

Heroes' Square

We’ll stop at Heroes’ Square, one of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks, where statues of Hungary’s great leaders stand proudly. I’ll explain the stories behind the figures and the importance of this grand square in Hungary’s national history.

Vajdahunyad Castle (Vajdahunyadvar)

Next, we’ll walk over to Vajdahunyad Castle, a fairytale-like building that brings together different styles from Hungary’s architectural history. Originally built for a world’s fair, it sits in the middle of City Park, surrounded by trees and a peaceful lake.

Lukacs Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool

3h
Admission ticket not included

Escape the crowds and discover one of Budapest’s best-kept secrets: Lukács Bath. Tucked away from the city's busiest tourist spots, Lukács is a quiet, historic spa that’s beloved by locals — and is a real part of everyday life here. I’ve been coming to this quiet oasis in the heart of the city to unwind from the bustle of everyday life ever since I was a child. Here you’ll find everything you need to relax and recharge: swimming pools, a wellness pool with jacuzzis and water massage, several thermal baths, saunas and steam baths—and even a beer bath experience (available for an additional fee).

Central Market Hall

Budapest’s Central Market Hall, the city’s largest and oldest indoor market, dazzles with its striking Art Nouveau design and colorful Zsolnay-tiled roof. Spanning three levels, it’s a sensory feast—shop local produce and spices, sample Hungarian street foods and pastries, or browse handcrafted souvenirs.
