Starting from the Andrassy Boulevard, you’ll pass the Opera House and then take a ride up to Heroes’ Square to learn about Hungarian history and culture. Then see the Vajdahunyad Castle complex, built to display Hungarian architecture for the 1896 World Expo, and Szechenyi Bathhouse.
Next you’ll see St. Stephen’s Basilica and Liberty Square. The square is home to the last Soviet memorial and imposing Hungarian Parliament.
