Little known places: the hidden treasures of Budapest

If you would ask me how to get a deeper knowledge about Budapest, I would definately give you the advice to go and see some places most tourist never get to see.



Most cities have castles, palaces, big churches, some have bridges and rivers too. My strong suspicion is that these are not necesarrily the attractions a conscious tourist would remember the most. Even though Budapest has some really beautiful and memorable of these. Well travelled and conscious travelers much more appreciate the local places: places where they can get a deeper understanding for the city, places where the real Budapest can be found. These hidden treasures characterize Budapest probably even more than the major attractions.

I believe that the city’s heart beats at these kind of sights. The hidden treasures tour of Budapest offered by MypersonalBudapest includes rarities which are known only by a few locals. 



The covered places are simply some of the favourite hidden spots of the company’s founder András. At some point of his life he has discovered the beauty and the attractive features of these attractions.
(Obviously, there is not an official list of interesting hidden buildings, squares, gardens, pubs…)
So what can you expect? A guided tour including…
  • A charming and little known neighborhood in the inner city… 
  • An unusual but ornate facade of a secessionist building… 
  • A unique ruined pub in the jewish district… 
  • A hidden passage… 
  • A small museum with beautiful and rare art nouveau furniture…. 
  • A hidden coffee house with incredible frescos… 
  • A retro/communist pub… 
  • Remains of the former jewish ghetto walls... 
  • The most important of the 19th-century aristocratic palaces in Pest, where the rooms and salons evoke former noble splendour of the Hungarian aristocracy.  



So, the solution is quite simple: leave the beaten track, join the Hidden treasures tour and find the gems where Budapest shows its most interesting side!
