Hidden Gems
Budapest’s well-kept secrets
Hidden gems is a tricky thing. By definition it means something which is extremely outstanding and not many people may know about.
In terms of Budapest it can mean streets and squares where buses aren’t allowed to enter but it can mean also those neighbourhoods, like Palotanegyed, Ujlipotvaros that are off the beaten track but still worth to pay a visit.
During this tour we can show you lesser known market halls, neighbourhoods where buses aren’t allowed to enter, university campuses, unique vantage points, and a lot more!
We can also discover those beaten track sites that cruise companies don’t cover during their city tours.
Depending on what your focus points are the tour can be customized!
