Visit Heritage Sites & Recreational Spots in Budapest
Begin the tour by visiting the impressive Heroes’ Square where you will be briefed about the Millennium Monument and its museums. The millennial monument was built in 1896 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Hungarians' arrival in the Carpathian Basin.
Explore The City Park behind the square and its many tourist spots such as Széchenyi Spa, the amazing Vajdahunyad Castle, the Budapest Zoo and the famous Gundel Restaurant.
Proceed along the Andrássy Avenue (UNESCO World Heritage Site) where we pass by the mansions of former aristocrats, an old music academy, and the Hungarian State Opera House.
Visit St Stephen’s Cathedral, followed by a visit to the magnificent neo-gothic Parliament building. It is located on the bank of the Danube and serves as a permanent seat of the National Assembly. The building complex, the biggest of its kind in Hungary, was erected between 1884 and 1904.
Crossing the Danube River, we arrive in the castle district of Buda (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Buda used to be the capital of Hungary for several hundred years.
Touring Buda gives the chance to visit the neo-gothic Matthias Church, the most beautiful and well-known Catholic church in Budapest. Officially named the Church of Our Lady, this royal cathedral was erected in multiple steps (between the 13th and 15th centuries).
Enjoy a view of the Danube and the Pest side from the Fisherman’s Bastion. The architect Frigyes Schulek planned the building in a neo-gothic style. The seven towers symbolize the seven chieftains, who conquered the land for the Hungarians.
