"Virtual Tour of Budapest Live Stream"
Join Andrea Makkay, professional local tour guide, as she leads us through her beloved hometown.
Budapest is a beautiful and glamorous city with a fascinating history. It is historical and modern, vibrant and calm, majestic and down to earth … all at the same time. Discover the capital of Hungary, get to know Hungarian history, learn about the origin of Hungarian people and their unique language and much much more!
Hungarian history goes back to more than a 1000 years in the heart of Europe, however even before Hungarians got here, the land was already occupied by the Roman Empire. Hungarian history is full of occupations, sieges and battles, it has been a constant struggle for freedom and independence.
The golden age of Hungary and Budapest was in the 19th century, when Hungary formed part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy under Habsburg rule.
Most of the architectural wonders of the Pest side date back to this time period. Marvel at the gigantic Hungarian Parliament building, see the Hungarian crown jewels on display. Pop into St Stephen Basilica, where the holy right hand of the first king of Hungary is kept. Explore the castle district (old town) on the Buda side, which is like stepping back to the middle ages, with all the colorful little houses, cobblestoned narrow streets, quiet courtyards. It also houses the beautiful neo-gothic Matthias Church and Fishermen’ Bastion a lookout terrace which provides breathtaking views of the city.
Let yourself get swept away by the glamour, beauty and grandiosity of this wonderful and inspiring city that Andrea loves so much!
Attendance is free but tips are appreciated
