Budapest is handily described as a city split in two by the Danube—Buda being the quieter hilly half and Pest the livelier commercial heart of the city. This walk is an exploration of the culinary and historical side of residential inner Buda. It reveals those off-the-beaten track places to eat, shop, and drink which are frequented solely by locals. Inner Buda is a distinct neighborhood with many fascinating layers of history. From the Ottomans who once inhabited the area (Gül Baba’s tomb is here) to World War Two’s Battle of Budapest (which devastated the neighborhood) and the following Communist period, many historic happenings have taken place in this now quiet residential district. We invite you to show off our lesser-visited Buda neighborhoods, where authentic local culinary life is entwined with exciting history and hidden foodie spots!

Inclusions: English-speaking, food-specialized guide, Generous food and drink tastings (enough for breakfast and lunch), Visits to a Buda Market Hall and four to five additional venues, Many stops for photos, questions, and occasional food shopping, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea, Alcoholic Beverages
