Secret gardens and squares downtown
Nothing can be seen from the street, just a worn façade, an obscure gateway, and a massive double door… Do you want to know what is inside?
Come in with us, and you will find yourself in a world of old trees, colourful flowers, marble walls and shady benches along the winding paths – green oases in the midst of the concrete jungle, which reveal the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in an urban environment. These inner gardens and parks squatting among the apartment houses keep the secrets of their onetime residents: they tell us stories of glory and defeat, love and death – and thus make the history of the city living and tangible.
During our 2.5-hour walk we get access to some beautiful private gardens which are usually closed to the public; we also visit a cloister garden and one of the prettiest inner-city parks. While you learn a lot about the development and the botanical curiosities of Budapest, the true tales of a bygone town will take you far away for a while.
