Frequently asked questions about this tour
Is this tour also suitable for first-time visitors?
The Hidden Places tour doesn’t require prior knowledge of Budapest, but it works especially well alongside a classic city tour. For a first overview we’d recommend the Highlights tour; for a second visit or as an add-on, this route is a great fit.
What footwear do you recommend?
Comfortable, flat shoes are advisable, as the route leads over cobblestones and through narrow courtyards. Part of the route is not barrier-free.
Can the route be adapted to our interests?
Yes, the exact selection of locations can be discussed with your guide in advance, for example with a focus on architecture, street art, or photography.
