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 - and it also features swimming pools, jacuzzis, water massage, saunas, steam baths—and even a beer bath! (the latter for an additional fee) 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.)
