Overview

Explore Budapest through its alternative cultures on a 2 hour small-group walking tour of the sights and historical landmarks that other tours rarely show you. Go deeper into Budapest’s art scenes, mural paintings, and statutes and explore the present and future, rather than the past.

Head away from the main tourist hangouts to explore Budapest's Jewish district, where the city’s alternative culture is kicking off. Learn about, and visit ruined bars and how the city developed after the World War. We will visit:

Main murals in district 7
Szimpla Kert ruin bar
“colorful city” arts
Memorial statues in the Jewish quarter
Famous abandoned buildings

- District 7 has a strict rule about street art, hence graffities are not part of the tour, as they usually disappear by next morning. - but there is plenty of beautiful art to show you while walking around :-)

Looking forward to seeing you on my tour! :)

**Please note due to my changing school schedule, sometimes my lovely colleague Burak will do the tour for me**

“Ok but could be better”
First the guide was not the woman who is mentioned on the website. Unfortunately he did do a greeting round like I am used to with these kind of tours. The meeting point is not ideal, because you will be walking for 10 minutes for the first stop. The street art will be only about big street pictures. No graffiti or something else. It is ok but I expected a bit more.

“A Must-Do for Street Art & Culture Lovers!”
Had an amazing time on the street art tour around the Jewish quarter with Burak as our guide! He not only showed us incredible murals but also shared fascinating historical insights that added so much depth to the experience. It was especially interesting to see how many of the artworks are connected to larger movements like environmentalism and social justice. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves street art and wants to understand the stories behind it!
