About This Experience
Enjoy a richly detailed historical walking tour paired with a taste of one of Hungary’s most iconic desserts—the beloved Dobos torta, still cherished by locals today. This is no ordinary cake: it features six layers of soft sponge, filled with rich chocolate buttercream, and finished with a signature caramel topping. As part of your experience, you’ll discover how this famous dessert became a favorite of Empress Sisi—often regarded as Hungary’s most iconic (and famously admired) queen who once used to reside at the very Buda Castle! This is a visit to the royal palace with a real royal treat therefore!
