Experiences
Do us a favor and forget your expectations. With our curated experiences, we can reveal the city’s Austro-Hungarian history. More interested in the 20th century? Take a post-Soviet era walking tour. Looking to relax? We’ll take you to the best thermal spas (as well as the ones that the tourists haven’t heard of). Time to party? Trust our guides to help you avoid the stag parties and British tourists and see all that Budapest’s quirky nightlife has to offer.
Start with the basics
Hungary sits in the heart of Europe. A short hop from nearly every European capital, the country is coursing with history. We’ll walk you through thousands of years of Hungarian history, from the days of King Geza (!), to the Ottoman period, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to the tumult of the 20th century. Skip the bus tours and join our experienced curators for walking tours that guide you through the country’s complex, unique history. And don’t worry. Just when you’re getting tired of paintings of mustachioed men on horseback, we know the best places to stop for a beer and a lángos.
Eat and drink your face off
We get it. You’ve already heard about goulash (which is a soup, not a stew…we can explain). But Hungary has one of the most diverse, innovative cuisines in the region. We’ll book your welcome dinner at our favorite French-Hungarian bistro. We’ll take you on a tour of Budapest’s famed market halls. We’ll curate a private cooking class at the city’s hottest Mediterranean restaurant. And we’ll take you on a wine and palinka tasting in the countryside.
Get your soak on
Conveniently, Budapest sits atop a huge network of hot springs, so after a day of exploring the sites and eating your face off (see above), just relax at one of the city’s incredible thermal baths. We’d never tell you to pass on the city’s most popular spas…but let us also take you to some of the city’s hidden gems. A retro Soviet-meets-Ottoman experience in Buda. A medicinal spa that attracts sassy Hungarian pensioners. And we’ll give you tips on how to navigate some of the most labyrinthine but relaxing landmarks
