It’s no surprise that Hungary is a nation of sweet-lovers. The country has one of Europe’s greatest baking traditions, and it seems Budapest has a cukrászda (bakery) on every block. Hungary is celebrated for its elaborate layer cakes, such as the caramel-topped Dobos torta, which are not only delicious but hold fascinating stories. What better to go with sweets than coffee as well. Budapest’s cafés represent a cultural history of the city itself. At the beginning of the 20th century, Budapest was home to more than 600 opulent coffeehouses which were second-homes to writers and artists. This walking tour will introduce you to some of the city’s greatest (and grandest) cafés and pastry shops.
