Step by Step

The central feature of Heroes' Square, as well as a landmark of Budapest, is the Millennium Memorial.Hungary, noted for its iconic statue complex featuring the Seven chieftains of the Magyars and other important Hungarian national leaders, as well as the Memorial Stone of Heroes, often erroneously referred as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The Halászbástya or Fisherman's Bastion is one of the best known monuments in Budapest, located in the Buda Castle, in the 1st district of Budapest. It is one of the most important tourist attractions due to the unique panorama of Budapest from the Neo-Romanesque lookout terraces. The Fishermen's Bastion's main façade, parallel to the Danube, is approximately 140 meters long, of which the southern aisle is about 40 meters long, the north is 65 meters long, and the ornate central parapet is 35 meters long. Its seven high-pitched stone towers symbolize the seven chieftains of the Hungarians who founded Hungary in 895.
The Hungarian Parliament Building, which translates to House of the Country or House of the Nation, also known as the Parliament of Budapest after its location, is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated in Kossuth Square, in the Pest side of the city and on the banks of the Danube. It is currently the largest building in Hungary.It was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902.
The Hungarian State Opera House (Hungarian: Magyar Állami Operaház) is a neo-Renaissance opera house located in central Budapest, on Andrássy út. Originally known as the Hungarian Royal Opera House, it was designed by Miklós Ybl, a major figure of 19th-century Hungarian architecture. Construction began in 1875, funded by the city of Budapest and by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, and the new house opened to the public on the 27 September 1884. Before the closure of the "Népszínház" in Budapest, it was the third largest opera building in the city; today it is the second largest opera house in Budapest and in Hungary.
St. Stephen's Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary (c 975–1038), whose right hand is housed in the reliquary. It was the sixth largest church building in Hungary before 1920. Since the renaming of the primatial see, it's the co-cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest. Today, it is the third largest church building in present-day Hungary.

    Excellent dual language tour (German & English) as a result of us only being 4 in total. Better the tour goes ahead in dual language mode than gets cancelled due to lack of people. Ingrid was very knowledgeable and spoke faultless English. Combined with the excellent Free Walking tours we have also done we will leave Budapest after 3x days feeling we got a taste of the City

    Loved the tour. The guide was lovely. Very knowledgeable on the history. The trip down the Danube I was very disappointed as you had a speaker telling you all about the area. But people on the boat talk through it all, and you cannot hear a thing.

    This was a great bus tour. We had a small group. We stopped at a lot of great photo spots. Atilla did a great job with his stories. I would suggest he carry a stick with a flag to help people find him. At one point I got separated from the group and had to text my husband to find out where the group went.
