Astoria
It’s quite impossible to go for a sightseeing tour and not cross Astoria. As one of the most popular hotspots, you can easily reach any other parts of the city from here. If you fancy cultural opportunities, head towards Kálvin tér, but if you wish to get involved in city life, you'll find yourself in Deák Ferenc and the heart of the party district within a couple of minutes walking.
On the other hand if you don’t know what to do or where to go, you are just at the right place at Astoria! You’ll find plenty of delightful cafés, vintage shops, posh pubs and the last standing units of the famous ruin pubs can be found in these streets. Take a nice walk in the neighborhood and experience the true feeling of Budapest!
While explore the district, don’t miss the must see sights as the National Museum, the Dohány Street Synagogue and the Károlyi-garden.
Fun fact: Astoria isn’t the official name of any of the streets or the crossing, it only entered the everyday language because of the Astoria Szálló located here. The iconic Hotel is the oldest hotel in the whole city that not only stands in its original form, but still operates.
During your Hop On Hop Off Budapest tour you’ll cross Astoria twice - as it is the 5th and 12th stop -, so you’ll surely have the opportunity to hop off and discover the area on your own. Check out the map for the exact location of the Hop On Hop Of bus stop!
