The most interesting Budapest tours

1. Guided tour of the heart of the city

This tour is a must for those travelers in a hurry. It is a journey that begins in the true vital artery of the capital: the Danube River, which here reaches enormous dimensions. You can precisely start on the Chain Bridge, the most spectacular of them all.

And from there you reach the church of San Matías and its surroundings, continuing towards the beautiful Fisherman’s Bastion, the place that offers the unparalleled panorama of the Hungarian capital. Again you go down to the river to cross it over the Elisabeth Bridge and from there to the Central Market, the Synagogue and the City Park with its spa.

It continues through the Heroes’ Square, the elegant Andrassy avenue and finally ends at the Basilica San Esteban to go to the Parliament, again along the Danube.

2. Budapest river cruise

In the previous itinerary we have walked through Buda and Pest, the two cities that make up the capital. Well, now we will look at them from the point of view offered by the Danube. There are many tourist boats that offer a river cruise, both by day and by night, including meals, dinners and varied shows.

Choose the one that suits your schedules and tastes, but always one that is complete, that goes from the Petöfi Bridge to Margarita Island, in the riverbed. You will pass under the rest of the emblematic bridges, such as that of the Chains, that of Elisabeth or that of Liberty, without forgetting that before your eyes you will discover all the great Hungarian monuments.

3. The Budapest tourist bus

For those who like to walk at your own pace, but want everything to be easily within your reach, the solution is the Budapest tourist bus. A transport that offers several routes and endless stops throughout the city.

Its advantage is that for a day or two you can travel in it as many times as you want, and always having information about the city in Spanish. And those who travel with family to Budapest can enjoy reduced prices for this interesting means of transport.

4. In a Budapest spa

Now we are talking about a very different Budapest tours. Tours of some of the most famous spas in the city. For a small price you can visit some historical, beautiful and healthiest facilities.  Of course, making use of them. In this way you will combine tourism with a healthy and unforgettable experience.

There are several options, but we recommend you go to one of the two best spas in Budapest (or both to compare). We are talking about the Hotel Geller and the Szenchenyi Baths. Both built at the beginning of the 20th century, and both with a wide range of thermal pools, saunas, jacuzzis and massages, as well as health and beauty treatments.

5. Excursion to the Palace of Sissi

Sissi was empress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and at that time, the court left Vienna in the summer and moved to Budapest. Specifically, Sissi settled in the Godollo Palace, one of the largest Baroque palaces in the world. It is located on the outskirts of the capital, which is why it is always compared to Versailles on the outskirts of Paris.

Today there are numerous tourist excursions that bring us closer to this historic place, in which art and the sad life of the Empress are the main protagonists of the guided tour of the palace rooms. And as a complement, then you can go to the stables area, where you can attend a unique equestrian show.

As you can see, you can choose from a good variety of tours around Budapest. And each one will offer you a different but beautiful version of this magnificent city.
