Description

Join us on tour and see the sights that make Budapest interesting, more or less built in the long peaceful period that stretched from 1867 to 1914. See the exquisite Art Nouveau structures (such as Gresham Palace and the Bedo House) and interiors, the radical design style that swept across turn-of-century Europe within architecture, applied arts, and fine art. Hungary developed its own cutting-edge take on the movement, known as Hungarian Secession, or in Hungarian: Szecesszió.
