The aim of our walking tours is to make you discover and experience our city through the eyes of an insider and to be informed by a native Hungarian about the past and current affairs of the city. We’d like to tell you all the history behind our bridges, buildings and statues, but most importantly I would like you to have fun and return home from Hungary with great memories.
Your walking tour begins at Deák tér in front of the Lutheran Church from where you take a ride to Hero’s Square by the Millennium Underground.
