Step into a voyage of discovery through distant oceans and sea lanes without leaving Budapest. Guided by the tales of the Adria Palace (Adria-palota), this immersive walk sails back to the heyday of Hungarian maritime trade, charting the routes of ocean liners and the exotic colonial goods that once flowed inland. Expect a rare blend of elegant preservation and urbex textures inside the former palace of the Adria Royal Hungarian Sea Navigation Company—over a century old, still whispering about past residents and their ventures.
Key Details
Adults only: participants must be 18+. The Adria Palace is an active construction site, so the walk begins with mandatory safety and fire training; attendance and signing the training log are required to join. The building isn’t accessible: stairs between floors, no elevator. Follow the guide closely, keep to marked routes, and respect on-site rules.
