Grand Budapest Tour (full day)

The city known as Budapest actually consists of three cities: Obuda, the oldest section, with Roman ruins on the Buda side of the Danube; Buda in the gently rolling hills on the western bank, famous for its historic Castle Hill and beautiful residential area; and vibrant Pest with its shopping, government and commercial districts on the flat plain of the eastern bank. United in 1873, Budapest is renowned as the location of one of the most beautiful World Heritage sites. Despite spectacular development, Budapest has preserved its old charm and magic. The visitor will find side by side the remains of fortresses and buildings from Roman times, still operating Turkish baths, Gothic and Baroque buildings, and the incredibly rich Art Nouveau architectural heritage. It is a city where the pleasing harmony of different architectural styles and superb structures, the cafés, baths, the food and culture, combined with legendary hospitality blend into an unforgettable experience for visitors.
Our tour covers the major highlights of the city, showing the grandeur and Old World charm of Budapest. Visit both sides of the city: the colorful hills of Buda and the bustling businesslike boulevards of Pest. Explore the gorgeous House of Parliament, the elegant Andrassy Avenue, the impressive Heroes Square, the fascinating Market Hall, the medieval Castle District, the picturesque Fishermens Bastion and the Liberty Statue on Gellert Hill with its magnificent panoramic view of the city.

Danube Bend (full day)

This region, north of Budapest, has been the scene of important events in the history of Hungary. Breathtaking natural scenery, historical and artistic treasures and thriving folklore are the main attractions of the Danube Bend. Here the river is forced between the hills and turns to the South. From the hilltops magnificent landscape unfolds itself before you. This beautiful land, the center of medieval Hungary, still offers an abundance of historical artifacts and monuments. The tour includes visiting Szentendre and Visegrad.
Szentendre, with its colorful houses, narrow alleys, and dozens of museums and galleries, is the most frequently visited tourist center along the Danube. This Mediterranean-like town was the home of Serbs who fled from the Turks and settled here in the 14th-17th centuries. For the tourist who is looking for nostalgia, there are: various shops, cozy restaurants, old shop signs, the ancient buildings of the Main Square and a small synagogue recently opened. Szentendre is considered an outstanding center of art in Hungary. Besides exploring great art museums, visitors should not miss the unique Marzipan Museum featuring fantasies made of marzipan. Another curiosity is the Open-air Ethnographic Museum - Skanzen, which is 2 miles from the center of the town. It is the largest ethnographic collection in Hungary with 340 buildings in 10 sections. Folk monuments worth preserving have been transported here from all over the country where demonstrations of folk handicrafts are often held on the weekends in the summer.

In the Roman times, there had been a military camp in the present-day territory of Visegrad whose remains were used by the conquering Hungarians to build a fortified castle here in the 13th century. Throughout the medieval centuries, Visegrad developed into a major stronghold of Hungarian kings. The Hungarian coronation jewels were kept in the castle for a long time, and Visegrad became the capital of the country in the 14th century. Today visitors can discover the former royal castle, enjoying the fascinating view over the Danube Valley. It is also worth visiting the nearby the Solomon Tower built in the 13th century, which is among the oldest and most intact Romanesque style dwelling towers of Central Europe.

Balaton (full day)

The "Hungarian Sea" is the people's name for the 50-mile long lake with silky green-yellow water in the middle of Transdanubia. Lake Balaton is one of Hungary's most precious treasures and most frequented resorts. It is the largest lake in Central Europe. At its center, the depth is 52.5 ft. The southern shores are ideal for small children because of the shallow water. On the northern shore the water gets deeper immediately. The summer water temperature of around 80 °F is warmer than the air in the morning and in the evening. The water and the silky mud of the lake are very good remedies for various diseases. Lake Balaton is also famous for its rich vineyards, producing a great assortment of excellent wines that go very well with the delicious local food. Large numbers of inns and restaurants welcome guests from all over the world. The tour includes visits in Herend, Badacsony and Tihany.
Herend is known for the world famous porcelain factory founded in the early 19th century. Its hand-painted masterpieces of extraordinary quality won several gold medals at world exhibitions in the past centuries. From the mid-19th century on, the products of the factory gained increasing reputation and became widely known and used in royal courts and homes of the aristocracy throughout the world. Visit the Herend Porcelain Museum to learn about the history of the factory, and enjoy the beauty of the exceptional porcelain pieces manufactured in the traditional way. The world's largest collection of Herend porcelain can be seen in the Museum as well. Moreover, visitors not only will have the chance to examine the process of manufacturing porcelain but also can have a lesson in the art of porcelain making.

Badacsony is perhaps one of the most scenic villages in the Lake Balaton area. It is definitely worthwhile to tour the fantastic basalt formations of the village. Take an exciting jeep ride up to the hilltop, and enjoy the amazing panorama of the lake and the surrounding volcanic hills. Visit one of the local wine cellars and taste some excellent wine produced in Badacsony.

The twin-towered church of the Tihany peninsula is distinctly visible far and wide. The peninsula is of volcanic origin, and has a profusion of rare plants and animals. It was King Andras I who founded in the first settlement in Tihany in 1055. His crypt survived the turbulent past and still stands in its original form. The present church was built over the crypt in the 18th century in the Baroque style and has many precious woodcarvings. In the Museum of the Benedictine Abbey, you can find an exhibition about ancient times of the area. There are frequent organ concerts in the abbey church in summertime. Moreover, visitors can explore the interesting Open-air Ethnographic Museum, the rural houses of the old village and the Potter's House, showing the life of fishermen in the past centuries. You can find the unique Doll Museum in Tihany, too, featuring hundreds of color ful dolls from all over the world.
