Description:

Discover the history behind one of the most intriguing cities in Europe. Divided by the Danube, both Pest and Buda blend an eclectic mixture of old and new sights. Follow your scholarly guide along the charming, cobbled streets of Pest and learn more about a fascinating, historically divided city.

Your scholar-led walk begins with an examination of the origins of Pest, whose legacy is both Celtic and Roman. See ruins like the Contra-Aquincum, an old Roman fortification. Admire the oldest church in Pest, the Inner Parish Church, and get an idea of how advanced the city's planning was back then.

As your group strolls along the Danube, you have the opportunity to take in spectacular views from both banks of the river. Walk and discuss the blossoming of the city's art and literature scene. Or discuss Baroque building techniques as you pass the iconic monuments of Freedom Square.
