Highlights
There is much to love about Budapest beyond the cafés, spas and the ruin bars. It is encouraged that all travelers to Budapest devote plenty of time to exploring life in the maze of inner city streets, the elegant late-19th/early-20th century villas on the grand boulevards, the bridges connecting Buda and Pest, and the beautiful Danube promenade which cuts through the center of town. This 4-hour guided walking tour of the city shows you the best of Budapest.
