The morning fog lifts off the Danube and the city exhales. A clean, air‑conditioned minivan pulls up; the driver folds a map and the guide checks names. For eight hours Budapest opens itself in steady chapters: ornate façades on Andrássy Avenue, the parliamentary silhouette catching light along Kossuth Lajos Square, then the sudden switch to medieval cobbles and stone staircases on the Buda side. The rhythm of the day is alternately rolling kilometres by road and short, deliberate walks to viewpoints where the river dares you to look further.
