One hour along the Danube. You see the Parliament, the Basilica and Liberty Square, the quickest way to see the main sights of Pest.
Super fun and surprisingly easy to learn — we saw a lot without getting tired, and the guide was full of great stories that made the city come alive.
A compact loop through the heart of Pest. You set off from our office on Haris köz, pass the Budapest Ferris Wheel, and stop at St Stephen’s Basilica — the largest church in the city.
From there the route runs through Liberty Square to the Hungarian Parliament, 96 metres of neo-Gothic spires seen from the water’s edge, and finishes at the Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial before returning to base.
Total time on the ground is about an hour and twenty minutes including practice, so it slots easily into a busy day.
