The Experience

You start with training on flat ground to get comfortable on the Segway before the route begins. Once steady, the guide leads you through the Castle Area, passing Elisabeth Bridge—the suspension bridge that spans the Danube and connects Buda to Pest—and a colonnaded structure on the hill holding a statue of an 11th-century monk. The pace is slow enough to stop and look, and the guide points out the historical landmarks and the stories behind them as you move through the streets.

The heart of the tour is Fisherman's Bastion, the neo-Gothic terrace with seven towers representing the seven Magyar tribes. From there you get the panoramic views of the city, the river and Parliament that make this spot famous. You also pass Matthias Church, the 13th-century landmark where King Matthias married, and Adam Clark Square, named after the British architect who designed the Chain Bridge. The route is designed so you see all of this without dismounting and climbing—the Segway does the work the steep hills would otherwise demand.

You can choose between a group tour, a private tour, or a morning departure, all running about 90 minutes. Photo and video recording are included, so you can capture the views and the moment. The helmets and Segways are provided, and the guide handles the pacing and the stops.
