Itinerary

Budapest, often called “the Paris of the East,” is the largest city in Hungary. It is located in central Hungary, right in the heart of Europe. The city lies along the Danube River and is the amalgamation of three cities- Buda, Pest, and Old Buda (Obuda). Several famous bridges connect these areas, highlighting the differences between the historical, hilly Buda side and the lively, busy Pest side. Budapest is famous for its rich history, beautiful architecture, thermal baths, and the Danube River. It also has a vibrant cultural scene, delicious food, and offers good value for visitors.
 
Budapest is full of exciting things to do! With the Hop On Hop Off Budapest bus tour, you can explore the main landmarks by hopping off the bus at stops that are conveniently located around the city. You can get on and off as many times as you like, so you can take the tour at your own pace. Choose from the two ticket options- 24, 48, and 72-hour. The Hop On Hop Off Budapest bus takes you to two routes- red route and green route. 
 
The Red Route offers a comprehensive exploration of Budapest through key landmarks such as St. Stephen's Basilica, Chain Bridge, and Heroes' Square while also showcasing cultural sites like the Hungarian State Opera House and Dohány Street Synagogue. The route culminates in iconic spots like the Parliament and Gellért Bath. The Green Route provides a scenic journey through Budapest's vibrant heart, starting with St. Stephen's Basilica and leading to historical sites like the Great Market Hall and the National Museum, while also passing through bustling locations such as Március 15. Square and Nyugati Railway Station.
 
If you want to learn more, hop off at the fascinating Jewish Museum and Synagogue on Dohány Street. Or, you can stay on the bus and listen to the audio guide, which is available in 16 languages and packed with interesting facts. The sightseeing from our double-decker Hop On Hop Off Budapest buses is both comfortable and exciting. Whenever something catches your eye, simply hop off the bus, explore, and then hop back on. If the famous Chain Bridge grabs your attention, get off and take a stroll! You can even walk from Buda to Pest over the Danube River.
 
With your 24, 48, or 72-hour pass, you will also get a 1-hour river cruise along the beautiful Danube River, offering stunning views of the city. Additionally, your ticket includes a walking tour that takes you through areas the buses cannot reach, including St. Stephen Basilica, Parliament, Shoes on the Danube Bank, Váci Fashion Street, and the Danube Promenade. Also enjoy a bike tour on Margaret Island, and an extra booklet that gives you free goulash, a souvenir, and a beer. If you enjoy funiculars, hop off at the famous Budapest Castle Hill Funicular and take a ride. Our Hop On Hop Off Budapest buses will always await you to hop back on and continue your sightseeing journey.
