Overview

Our signature tour introduces local culinary and wine culture through classic flavors, unique wines, history, and stunning architecture. Includes two food markets and more than a dozen tasting stops. Budapest’s first food tour, est. 2008! With our expert guide, you’ll learn all about Hungarian gastronomy, Hungary’s fascinating food culture, and its exciting wine scene.

Our epic food, wine, and culture walk begins at The Central Market Hall—Budapest’s cathedral of food and one of Europe’s largest and most spectacular indoor markets—and continues through several of its most charming neighborhoods. We’ll explore the Ferencváros neighborhood, the Palace Quarter (a vibrant university area known for its splendid old aristocratic palaces), and the Újlipótváros area (almost like a village within the city, with café-lined streets, art deco buildings, spacious parks and cute shops). Our second market hall is off the beaten tourist track, with a great selection of vendors and a local clientele.

Activity itinerary

Central Market Hall

45m
Admission ticket included

The Central Market Hall is Budapest’s cathedral of food and one of Europe’s largest and most spectacular indoor markets. We’ll introduce you to Hungarian cuisine through the great variety and abundance of ingredients (mostly local and seasonal) on display. We will discuss the spectacular building, the culture of eating and drinking in Hungary, the ingredients, the dishes commonly made from them … and just what it is that Hungarian home cooks do with all of that pork fat, paprika, and goose liver. As we walk the market aisles we’ll taste a selection of foods (and have an aperitif to fortify us).

Liberty Bridge (Szabadsag hid) (Pass by)

We'll pass by this bridge, one of the several spanning the Danube.

Hungarian National Museum (Pass by)

We explore the Palace Quarter (a vibrant university area known for its splendid old palaces, where aristocrats built their palatial homes in the 19th and early 20th centuries), and pass by the Hungarian National Museum, on our way to the wine tasting cellar.
