About this activity
Meet your driver at your accommodation in Belgrade and settle into your private vehicle for the 3,5-hour journey to Budapest.( 365 km, only highway) On arrival, greet your local guide and set off on a comprehensive 3-hour city tour of Budapest, starting with the view from Gellert Hill. Enjoy an unbeatable panorama of the city and the Danube River as your guide fills you in on the city's two halves : Buda, the ancient seat of the Hungarian Kings and Pest, the heart of the modern city. Start your explorations in Buda with a tour of the medieval castle and follow your guide around Trinity Square, Fisherman's Bastion and Matyas church. After snapping photos of the grand Buda Castle, which dates from the 13th century, cross the iconic Chain Bridge into Pest, stopping to admire the magnificent Hungarian Parliament Building on the waterfront. Browse the shops along lively Vaci Street, then take a peek inside the opulent St. Stephen's Basilica, where the star attraction is, somewhat bizarrely, the right hand of its namesake King Stephen. Next, stroll down the elegant Andrassy Avenue, home to the lavish Hungarian State Opera House, and marvel over the monuments of Heroes Square. For lunch (own expense), follow your guide's recommendations and tuck into some traditional Hungarian cuisine at a local restaurant. Gulyas stew is a good choice. In the afternoon, enjoy around three hours of free time to wander around the city independently, hit the shops or take a soak at the famous Gellert Bath (admission not included). Around 5.00pm, meet up with your guide for the return trip to Belgrade and finish your tour with drop-off at your hotel.

Do it! But be prepared to spend up to nine hours driving for four hours of exploration in Budapest. Our guide Alexander was awesome! He was patient, knowledgeable and helped us find some of the things we wanted to see on our own in the city. We went to a ruin bar, which was very cool and asked our guide to take us to the shoes on the Danube memorial. He gladly made this happen even though it wasn't on the itinerary. We unexpectedly had to wait for three hours at the border leaving Hungary, so that made for a LONG trip back to Belgrade, but obviously that was beyond everyone's control. If you have a free day and want to check out Budapest I would highly recommend this tour!
If you only have one day to take advantage of visiting this fantastic city, do it! It's a long day, but well worth it. Alexander was our guide and made sure we saw all the key points while remaining flexible along the journey. We really enjoyed this tour.
