Unusal, But Fun Things To Do in Budapest

Discover what is under the city

Most tourists visit the bridges or the Buda hills first, but have you ever wondered what is under this magnificent city? Budapest has a huge cave system under – most if it is not even open to the public. However, there are some caves that can be visited by anyone. Don’t worry, there are a lot of easier walking tours, but if you are looking for some kind of extremity, we highly recommend one of Mátyás-Hegyi cave’s tours!

Climb up the Water Tower at Margitsziget

The view from the Citadel or even from the Basilica is marvelous, but there’s one hidden gem in Budapest, that not so much tourist knows about: the Water Tower in the middle of Budapest’s beloved island, Margitsziget. The building itself was built in 1911 but was closed from the public for years. Today, it functions as a lookout tower. Worths a visit!

Pinball Museum

Don’t let the name fool you: in Hungary’s pinball museum, you not only can see the pinballs from a great distance, but you can also play with them! Unfortunately, pinballs went out of fashion in the last decade, so we can’t see them at bars and hotel lobbies anymore. But if you are one of those people who really miss that, we definitely recommend this underground museum! Spend an unforgettable day bringing back childhood memories with pinballs from the ’80s, 90’s and millennial era.

Looking for a more private sightseeing? We’ve got you covered!

We won’t deny it: sightseeing with the Hop on Hop off buses are the best way to discover Budapest. However, if you’ve had enough of other tourists sitting next to you, or just looking for a more personal way to travel around the city, we have a great offer for you.

Royal Cars offer sightseeing tours for those who would like to know Budapest in a more private way. Five people can fit in one car, and the driver is the tour guide too.
