You step off the minivan and the Danube stretches out like a cool, moving horizon — its current daring you to look beyond the bridges and into the layered history of the city. Over four days a private guide routes you through volcanic-era hills and grand 19th-century boulevards, from the stone terraces of Buda Castle to the neo-Gothic parliament that crowns the Pest riverbank.
