Overview of your Budapest tour

I have been in love with history since I can remember but at university when I got a chance to get know more the about 20th century I just dived more deep in it because we have so many sources and it's so controversial. If you don't know much about this period, book my tour and get to know more about this era but if you are the discussing and debating type, all the better! We start by sitting down for a cup of coffee or anything else you'd like and having a focused conversation about Hungary's and Budapest's past in the last 150 years, marred by revolutions, two world wars (both lost), Nazi and Communist dictatorships and the effects of these on today's young, only 31-year-old democracy. The tour ends at the shocking Shoes on the Danube memorial, which has a story everyone has to hear!

Your Budapest tour itinerary

Meeting point at designated area - Walk or take a public transportation to the House of Terror, where I will guide you around for about 1 hour - Walk to the Opera House - Stop by a Street Food Courtyard or a market hall and try great Hungarian food, ranging from a great lángos (Hungarian street food, fried dough with sour cream and cheese), or vegan food or meat with meat, as it is the custom here! - Walk to the Liberty Square. Not many people know that there are two bronze statues of American presidents, and as a bonus a statue of an American general on this square to add to the complications the last standing Soviet war memorial is right next to all of these? - Walk to the Parliament - Finishing by the Shoes on the Danube If you wish for any changes please contact me for a customized tour!
