St Stephen’s Basilica
One of the first highlights is St Stephen’s Basilica, Budapest’s largest cathedral and a symbol of national identity. Pause to admire its impressive façade while your guide explains its history, construction, and role in Hungarian cultural life.
Along the Danube Bank
Continuing toward the river, you walk past the Chain Bridge and along the Danube Bank, where panoramic views open up across the water. From here, you can take in the scale and detail of the Hungarian Parliament building, learning how it became one of Europe’s most recognizable landmarks.
