Skip the line for Budapest's Light Art Museum, a self-paced 2-hour show of projection, optical illusions, and famous light artists.
“mesmerizing, an eye opener on how creative one can be.”
Skip the line to Budapest’s Pinball Museum with a mobile ticket. Play 130+ vintage machines on your date, 4 to 11:30 PM.
“Oh where do I start - It was a fathers day surprise for my hubby as we were away from our 2 kids - it was awesome 130+ machines dating back to 1931 right through to today, we played any machine we wanted for hours. It was a blast and clearly very popular - if your in Budapest pop in, its well worth your time and if you have kids even better.”
Skip the line at St. Stephen's Basilica with reserved entry times. Choose church-only or add the treasury and dome terrace.
“Barbara our guide was very knowledgeable and a kind and pleasant person. She obviously loves what she does. Would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to learn more about St Stephen’s Basilica”
Aeropark Aviation Museum near Budapest Airport, with Soviet-era planes, a free Cessna simulator, small English-guided groups, and fast skip-the-line entry.
“This activity is not at all Tourist Friendly. There was nothing written in English, everything in Hungarian. There was not even an Audio Guide. People were having a attitude and there is not even a tour. This price is only price of entrance. The activities inside the Museum have another price. Also this Museum is outside of the city. So please save your time and money and visit something within the City.”
Jewish Quarter walk with Moorish synagogues, ghetto wall remnants, and a key included exhibition in English for small groups.
“There is a lot of walking, so be prepared. Information given was the best. This was high on my list when visiting Budapest. I was slightly disappointed that the "shoes on the Danube" wasn't part of this tour until I realized the geography wouldn't have worked. I di walk to them after the tour”
Skip the ticket line to St. Stephen's Basilica, then walk Budapest’s Old Town. See the mummified right hand and Parliament in 2 hours.
“Only spent 10 minutes in the Basilica and didn’t receive any information from the guide whilst in there. We had to ask to see the mummified hand and again got no history of it Considering the tour is called ‘St Stephens basilica guided tour’ we thought we would spend more time learning about the basilica and looking round it but unfortunately we still don’t know any history about the basilica The walking section of the tour was ok except the guide didn’t seem to know were to go or what to show us after we had done the basilica. We walked around the outside of Parliament then through liberty square…”
Skip-the-line access to St. Stephen’s Basilica plus a guided Old Town walk, including the crypt and Budapest highlights, in about 2 hours.
“Evelina was so pleasant & very knowledgeable. Such a pleasure learning & respecting Hungary & its history. Wish we could have spent more time, would highly recommend and my pictures do not serve justice.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
