Description:

Visit grand palaces along leafy boulevards, cross stately bridges over the mighty Danube, and explore the ancient Castle Hill district on this guided overview of the city's major sights.

Hop on a comfortable luxury coach and head down Andrássy Avenue, a UNESCO-listed street lined with opulent Neo-renaissance mansions and townhouses. The celebrated architectural variety of the historic center provides a colorful backdrop as you pass by the Opera House on your way to the Heroes' Square, where statues of national Hungarian leaders have stood watch over contemporary events.

Cross the Danube to arrive in Buda, and visit the Habsburg-era Citadel on top of Gellért Hill, enjoying far-reaching views of the city from the edge of the water. A guided, leisurely stroll takes you along the cobbled streets of Castle Hill, the oldest part of Budapest, while your expert guide provides local details that bring the district to life. Here you can see the impressive Royal Palace, the tiled roofs of the 1000-year-old Matthias Church, and many delightful cafés and boutiques.

You return to Pest, passing Margaret Island, a lush park with medieval ruins. Your tour comes to an end at the Hungarian Parliament Building, the largest building in Hungary and the tallest in Budapest, known for its symmetrical architecture and central dome.
