About this experience
No matter what city in the world we visit, we always ask ourselves: How are the people of Budapest similar to us? How are they different? And why? How engaged are they in the life of their city or country? Are they open to other cultures? What about the rights of women or minorities? How good is the education here, and is it affordable? How do young people live here? Because, after all, the city's and country's future will depend on them. This is what our tour of Budapest will be all about.
Not only will we see beautiful architecture, but also luxurious interiors. It's simply unavoidable in Hungary's capital! But most interestingly, we'll visit places overlooked by tourists but loved by locals and expats. These places include galleries, multi-format and ruin bars, a very distinct bookstore, a secret café, and a few adorable vintage shops and courtyards. We'll discover the street art of Budapest. And we'll talk about what it's like to be a Budapest resident in the 21st century.
