About Us
Sharing our passion for Budapest's architectural heritage
A Love Letter to Budapest
Budapest Heritage Guide began as a personal project born from countless walks through the Hungarian capital's historic streets. Standing before the Parliament at sunset, climbing the towers of Fisherman's Bastion, or simply wandering the cobblestoned alleys of the Castle District, we found ourselves captivated by the stories embedded in these remarkable structures.
We created this resource to share that sense of wonder with fellow travelers and architecture enthusiasts. Each article draws on personal exploration, historical research, and a genuine affection for the city's architectural legacy. Our goal is to provide the context and practical information that transforms a casual visit into a deeper appreciation of Budapest's built heritage.
From the Gothic Revival grandeur of the Parliament to the intimate charm of centuries-old townhouses, Budapest offers an architectural journey through European history. We hope our guides help you discover the stories, craftsmanship, and vision that shaped this extraordinary city on the Danube.
