City sightseeing
Budapest is two cities with a river between them, and the good views are on hills at opposite ends of it. 3 hours by car covers what a day on foot cannot, and leaves you at the door rather than at a tram stop.

How it works.
- 01
The route runs Buda first
Castle Hill and the Fisherman’s Bastion in the morning, before the coaches, then Gellért Hill for the view down the river.
- 02
Then across to Pest
Parliament from the embankment, Andrássy Avenue end to end, and Heroes’ Square at the top of it.
- 03
Stops are proper stops
Four or five of them, long enough to walk and photograph. The car waits; nobody is hurried back into it.
- 04
The order can change
A wet afternoon, a closed road, or wanting to stay longer somewhere. The driver reorders the route rather than dropping it.
Choose the car.
A fixed price for the 3-hour route, whatever the traffic does.

Worth knowing.
- The driver knows the city and will answer questions, but he is a driver and not a licensed guide. For commentary and for entry to the buildings, book the private tour instead.
- Entry tickets to Parliament, the Basilica and the castle museums are not included and need booking days ahead.
- The route can be extended by the hour at the chauffeur rate.
