Budapest at night is truly an incredible sight. Light reflected from the beautiful buildings or the Danube River gives it a magical aura that makes it much more spectacular than when it’s seen during the day. We take a slightly different route from other day tours so that you can check out something new (hopefully). On the other hand, we cover all the main sights, such as St. Stephen's Basilica, Parliament, Chain Bridge, Matthias Church, etc.
First, we go around the Pest side, then we'll cross the river and take a bus up to Buda Castle. So you'll need one or two bus tickets for the tour. I'll explain in detail how public transport works. The advantage of doing the night tour is that you don't need to buy a ticket for the Fishermen's Bastion. Since the tour starts quite late and lasts approximately 2.5 hours, I highly recommend having dinner beforehand.
We’ll discuss everything: history, people, amusing stories and facts, food, and drinks. If you are a photo enthusiast, you won't find a setting better than this.
Some people think, because of the name of the tour, that the tour is about spooky stuff. It is not. I want to show you how beautiful Budapest looks at night.

Budapest in Winter: Cold-Weather Guide and 3-Day Plan
Budapest in winter is exceptionally rewarding for travellers who appreciate outdoor thermal baths in freezing weather, lower accommodation rates, and classic seasonal markets. Although days are short and temperatures regularly hover around freezing, the city's grand architecture, world-renowned indoor bathhouses, and hearty comfort food make it well worth a trip between December and February.
