Overview
I offer entirely tailor-made walking tours. Beyond the main information about the must-sees, I try to present the spirit of Budapesters through anecdotes, news and aspects of the daily life of Budapesters. Cultural curiosities and Hungarian gastronomy are also among my favorite subjects.
The half-day tour that I propose ensures both the discovery of the main monuments and the departure from the beaten track.
During this walk, we will have the opportunity to discover the Buda Castle district and the city center with among others the Matthias Church, the Fisherman's Bastion, the Parliament (exterior), the famous bronze shoes and the Basilica of St. .Etienne.
This framework allows us not only to discuss interesting subjects such as the Hungarian currency, the national economy or the standard of living, but also to discover the works of Kolodko, the Hungarian counterpart of Banksy.
