DAY 1

Arrival at Budapest. Transfer to the hotel. Take your seat in the comfortable chairs of Piaggio Calessino Ape Vespacars and let the adventure started. Visit the must-see attractions of the Pest and Buda side of the city such as St. Stephen’s Basilica, Heroes’ Square, Dohány Street Synagogue, Matthias Church, Fisherman’s Bastion and Parliament building. Stop by Europe’s most beautiful marketplace, the Great Market Hall, marvel at the rich selection of fruits, vegetables, sausages, hams, fish, dairy and bakery products in the oldest and largest indoor market hall of Hungary and taste our traditional street food, lángos and local delicacies such as savoury red-pepper ewe-cheese, wintersalami, spicy buffalo salami, smoked grey beef ham, mangalitza sausage, paired with traditional Hungarian pickles. At the end of the tour visit the Zwack Unicum Museum, dedicated to the world-famous Hungarian bitter liqueur made of 40 herbs according to the best kept secret family recipe and tase four types of Unicum straight from the oak barrels. Crown the day with candlelit Danube river cruise on the stylish wooden deck of a beautifully renovated oldtimer yacht in the company of a Michelin-star experienced chef serving mouth-watering gourmet dinner. Relax and enjoy the fine dining dishes, while the spectacular background is the night lit river with UNESCO World Heritage sights. Overnight stay in Anantara New York Palace Budapest Hotel.

DAY 2

Start the day with private bathing in the rooftop thermal water jacuzzi of the nearly 500 year-old Rudas Thermal Bath and enjoy the pleasant silkiness of the bubbling medicinal water coming up from 1,500 meters deep, while admiring the wonderful 360-degree panoramic views of Budaepest. The Hungarian language is widely regarded as being too difficult for a foreigner to even attempt to understand – but with our lighthearted ’Fungarian’ class, you receive an easy introduction to our playfully poetic language, focusing on gastro vocabulary. Learn the secrets of the most well-known Hungarian dish, goulash, and prepare it together in a cauldron during an open-air masterclass at a hip yard of a very Hungarian ruin pub. Take the list of ingredients and head to the city center of Budapest to use your brand-new Hungarian language skills and buy essential things to your traditional goulash. After the active participation of preparation, chopping, stirring, and seasoning you will love to taste your soup. The Goulash Gastro Party is crowned by ’Pálinka’ tasting and folk dance. Overnight stay in Anantara New York Palace Budapest Hotel.

DAY 3

What better way to finish your stay in Budapest, than shopping in the high-end shops of Andrássy Avenue, then a guided tasting experience in New York Café voted ‘The most beautiful café in the world’, inclucing the legendary New York chocolate cake and 24 carat gold New York coffee or hot chocolate.
