About this tour

Discover Budapest, the “Paris of the East,” on a guided day trip from Vienna into Hungary’s capital.

In the city, see the main highlights with an English-speaking driver-guide: panoramic views from Gellért Hill, the Baroque Castle District with Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion, and a stop at Ruszwurm, Budapest’s historic patisserie. Take in the Hungarian Parliament from several viewpoints, cross the bridges that link Buda and Pest, and stroll Andrássy Avenue, often called the Hungarian Champs-Élysées.

Visit Heroes’ Square, step inside St. Stephen’s Basilica, and hear about lesser-known spots along the way. Then enjoy free time to explore central Budapest on your own before a comfortable minivan ride back to Vienna, with drop-off at your hotel or home.
