Budapest in a nutshell - 3-4 hours tour by bus or car with a short walk
I recommend this tour for those who come to Budapest for the first time and due to their full schedule can not spend more than half a day on a guided city tour. During the trip we are going to see the most important sights of Budapest while we hear the city's history in a nutshell. First we get off the bus at Heroes' Square to view this unique construction which became part of the UNESCO World Heritage list. Then we continue towards the city center at the Opera House along the Andrássy Avenue and discover St. Stephen's Basilica (visit inside of the church upon request). After crossing the Danube to Buda we are going to visit the area of the Royal Palace, walk in the Buda Castle District (Presidential Palace) to the Matthias Church and enjoy the stunning view from the Fisherman's Bastion.
Ideal for large groups.
