AROUND BUDAPEST
Mini Statue Hunt
A Unique Sightseeing Tour in Budapest
Sightseeing tour in Budapest on the route of Kolodko’s mini statues
Duration: 5 hours
This tour is a classical sightseeing tour in Budapest following the route of the Hungarian “guerilla” artist, Michael Kolodko‘s mini statues.
It’s a perfect program for first-time visitors because many of the statues are near to main attractions, but at the same time, it’s a special experience too, as some of them are located in the true local neighborhoods. It’s a classic sightseeing tour, but it is a real treasure hunt as well; while you look for the art pieces on the streets, you can admire beautiful attractions like the Chain bridge, and listen to the stories that the artist wants to tell us through his statues.
The perfect combination: a bit of a general, a bit of the hidden gems.

“Petra was entertaining, thorough and informative. We saw a good part of the city while learning about history and culture, in addition she shared personal information that was both relevant and funny. We look forward to future visits to Budapest where we can spend more time with her and learn more about this beautiful city.”
