Óbuda: Where Budapest Actually Started
Ádám Kovács · Budapest
Tourists never go to Óbuda — which means they miss a Roman amphitheatre bigger than the Colosseum, a perfectly preserved Baroque town square, and the fact that Budapest is actually three cities (Buda, Óbuda, and Pest) that were only merged in 1873.
With Ádám Kovács · Szentlélek tér, Óbuda Square
About
What makes it unique
The Roman civilian amphitheatre in Óbuda — bigger than the Flavian Amphitheatre in Rome, surrounded by apartment blocks, visited by almost nobody.
What's included
Guided walk, Roman amphitheatre, Baroque square, local lángos lunch
Who is it for
People who want Budapest's 2,000-year story, not just the last 150.
What you'll feel
Standing in a Roman arena bigger than the Colosseum, surrounded by communist-era housing, is one of the genuinely surreal experiences Budapest offers.
