Love a good city detective game? Then get ready for an electrifying two-and-a-half-hour code-cracking stroll through Budapest’s posh Andrássy Avenue. On this urban adventure, you’ll follow hidden clues, decode the meanings behind silent stone statues, and unravel stories woven into lavish decorations—all pointing back to the city’s once-glamorous aristocratic past. Step into the shoes of a real urban detective and discover the capital’s well-kept secrets as you explore one of its grandest boulevards.
How It Works
The journey kicks off outside the Writers’ Bookstore (1061 Budapest, Andrássy út 45), where you’ll spend five minutes before moving to the next stop at 2 Liszt Ferenc Square (both outside and inside the building). If you’re late, you can join the group at these first two locations within the initial 20 minutes. The route weaves through Liszt Ferenc Square, Andrássy Avenue, Nagymező Street, Ó Street, and ends at the buzzing Deák Ferenc Square.
