Palace District Evening Culinary, Wine, and History Walk

Many of this neighborhood’s charms are obvious—the architecture is stunning, the many universities add a unique vibrancy, the history is ever-present, and there are plenty of cool cafés, art galleries, and shops. This neighborhood is justly a favorite for international film shoots (who use it as a standby for other locales), and hardly a week goes by that there’s not a film being shot on these streets. When we are not eating and drinking, we’ll stroll through the elegant area which lies between the inner and outer ring roads—including the gardens of the National Museum, where aristocrats built their palatial homes in the 19th and early 20th centuries (the golden age of Budapest), and café-lined streets with more Bohemian vibes. As per our usual style, our evening of exploration will combine food and drinks, with historical and cultural stories about the buildings and people important to the neighborhood. Come wine and dine in this most special part of Budapest with us!

Palace District (Palota Negyed, VIII). Combine food, drinks, and history during this evening out in one of Budapest’s most charming and fascinating neighborhoods, the Palace Quarter (Palota Negyed, in the eight district). The magnificent old palaces in this neighborhood perfectly communicate the history of Hungary from the 1800s through the present. You’ll eat and drink well on this tour, while experiencing the laid-back vibes and stunning architecture of this neighborhood, which is now home to several universities.

We'll meet at the wine cellar for an introduction to the neighborhood, a wine tasting with our sommelier (3 wines), and a selection of local cheese and charcuterie.

Palace District (Palota Negyed, VIII). After meeting at the Tasting Table, where our sommelier will introduce you to some wines (paired with a platter of charcuterie and local cheeses), we’ll graze on a variety of dishes and drinks at five more venues in the district. Other tasting stops include snacks at a bakery run by a family who has been in the business since 1870; a pálinka inside a fun courtyard bar; gulyás and appetizers at a neighborhood bistro; and dessert at an old coffeehouse.
