Overview

Explore Budapest’s rich history and famous landmarks — from the Castle District, Váci Street, and Parliament to the Basilica, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes’ Square, and the Jewish Quarter. After a full day of discovery, we’ll end at one of my favorite hidden spots that most tourists miss: Lukács Thermal Bath. This quiet oasis in the bustling city is known for having some of the best and most healing thermal waters in Budapest. I’ll tell you about the history of the place and the city's bathing culture, help you settle in, and you’re welcome to relax at your own pace or spend time with me, chatting and enjoying the baths together. (If you’d prefer to skip the bathing, we can visit the Central Market instead or spend more time at the other locations.)

We’ll make a short stop at the New York Palace, one of Budapest’s most beautiful historic buildings, known for its ornate façade and lavish interior. Once a favorite meeting place for writers and artists, today it’s home to the famous New York Café, often called the most beautiful café in the world.

  • 20m
Next, we’ll walk over to Vajdahunyad Castle, a fairytale-like building that brings together different styles from Hungary’s architectural history. Originally built for a world’s fair, it sits in the middle of City Park, surrounded by trees and a peaceful lake.
Lukacs Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool

Escape the crowds and discover one of Budapest’s best-kept secrets: Lukács Bath.

I’ve been coming to this quiet oasis in the heart of the city to unwind from the bustle of everyday life ever since I was a child.
