About this walk

A little bit of everything

This walking tour is a little bit of everything, an introduction to Budapest’s culture. A mixture of local markets, historical sights, urban legends, street art and hidden gems off the beaten tourist track, spiced with traditional food.

While we discover the main sights of the Pest side, we focus on the inner treasures and the secrets of the downtown. The best way to understand a new country is through its food, and everything has a story behind it.

Let’s try the locals’ favourite lángos and rétes, far from the tourist traps.
