Little secrets of Budapest

In this video, a Hungarian girl named Regina shows us around. She emphasises those parts of Budapest that you will most probably not find in guidebooks. This includes the favourite bars and cafés of Hungarian university students and a surprisingly not-that-well-known part of town which is just a stone throw’s away from the main tourist attractions like Vörösmarty Square, which hosts the famous Christmas fair every year.

Hidden gems in Budapest

For this video, Urban Adventures asked their guides in Budapest to describe their favourite hidden gems in the Hungarian capital. They mention, among others, a lesser known Turkish bath (Veli Bej Bath), and the locals’ favourite place; the philosophers’ garden on Gellért Hill.

Interestingly, we have written about Veli Bej, which is a small yet cosy bath. It is from the 16th century, and it is a local favourite.
