TASTER WALK - The Inner City Walk (2 hours/3 km):
This Walk guides you through the most visited, intriguing part of downtown Budapest. It is designed to take you through the places that offer just that: a lively atmosphere, where cafes and terraces meet architectural grandeur, romantic details and interesting stories. Starting from central Deák square, this walk takes you along Andrássy út, one of Europe’s most beautiful avenues. You will see the Opera House, walk by the imposing St. Stephen’s Basilica and then on to Chain Bridge, where, beneath the stone lions, a magnificent view opens up revealing the majestic river Danube. The Walk delivers you back to the heart of the city: Vörösmarty square and Váci utca.

Have fun and enjoy discovering!
