Discover the breathtaking pieces of an architectural style that started to flourish towards the end of the 1900s, together with the insights of an art historian. In merely 20 years numerous masterpieces were constructed according to the various branches of the Secessionist Movement present in Europe. Viennese Secession, Jugendstil, French and Belgian Art Nouveau and for the first time, a real Hungarian “National Style” was also born. Among these beautiful edifices, we offer you the chance to explore Gresham Palace in and out, the Hungarian National Treasury, the Hungarian Academy of Music, various sites in the famous and historic Váci shopping street and much more gems too than you could ever find in a guidebook. Such a tour could begin at a previously arranged location, such as your hotel, or we recommend meeting at the former House of Hungarian Art Nouveau. A coffee break is also included in the tour at a marvellous Art Nouveau landmark.

What's included in the package

Itinerary

Gresham Palace (Pass-by Only)

We will visit one of Budapest's most iconic and beautiful landmarks that carries the architectural features of Art Nouveau as one of its most recognisable prime examples. Exploring both the lush exterior and the interior of the building is part of the tour.

Budapest

Parisian Passage Café. A recently renovated building that would make its Belgian counterparts shy. The tour will take you through its passage offering us a glimpse into its interior.

Liszt Academy

Located in the heart of the city, the building of the Academy of Music is a homage to Hungarian music and a grandiose example of the international secession style at the same time. We will venture inside the hall to see the mosaics and other details worthy to marvel at in the interior.

Vaci Street

As we will walk through Budapest's most famous and historic fashion and shopping street we shall stop at various urban palaces to delve into their rich Art Nouveau heritage.

Torok-Bankhaz Building

This exciting building will help us to understand the transition between the two major pre-war architectural styles, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. MIKSA ROTH!

Postatakarek Bank

The tour will take you to this fine example of Secession's Hungarian National branch. Expect marvellous architecture and enchanted castle-like details. LECHNER

House of Hungarian Art Nouveau

Dedicated to the period of Secession in Hungarian architecture, this site that we will visit offers us an insight into the Hungarian National Style and its influences.

Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden (Pass-by Only)

We will see some of the buildings of the Budapest Zoo taking us on a journey of the diversity of Art Nouveau and Secession architecture.

Museum of Applied Arts

This site carries the trademarks of the Hungarian National Style of Secession which we will discover and discuss as we stop there. Since it is still under renovation we can only explore the building's facade.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Suzy! She is a wonderful guide and her knowledge of not only Hungarian art nouveau but the history of Hungary as well was extraordinary. I learned far more than I had expected as she included the cultural, socio-political historical context of all the art works ...

First of all, we had a wonderful time on the tour! Suzy is a very knowledgeable and insightful person who went above and beyond (figuratively and literally) to show us the beauty of Hungarian Art Nouveau. We had a bit of a problem with the booking over Viator, but it was quickly resolved by Suzy...
