Program recommendations for April 2022

More and more of our Budapest free tours are running!

Firstly, let us mention that more and more of our free Budapest walking tours and paid private tours are running from March and April 2022.

We operate the Free Budapest Walking Tour and the Free Buda Castle Tour EVERY DAY at the moment.

You can read a more detailed summary about this topic in our previous blog post HERE

Program recommendations for this April

  • Budapest Photo Festival: The Budapest Photo Festival is held for the sixth time, and it makes our capital one of the defining centers of photography between March 25th and May 8th this year. In 2022, more than 40 galleries, cultural institutes and museums are joining the festival with 50 exhibitions and different programs.
  • Budapest Spring Fair: between March 26th and April 18th, in the heart of the city center (on Városháza square), family and children’s programs, a craft fair and gastronomic specialties await those wishing to wake up from their winter hibernation.
  • Free Contemporary Fine Art exhibitions in Képező: from 1-13th of April 2022. The exhibition called Gone Viral by youngart showcases works that respond to the unexpected, rapidly spreading, and global phenomenon of our time, whether it is a blessing or a danger, by the means of contemporary art. The word “viral” can be interpreted as a metaphor, referring to the shock and after-effects caused by Covid-19, but there is more to it than that.
  • Spring Festival on Bartók Béla road in Buda: 1-17th of April 2022. World-famous artist groups, genius soloists and special performances will follow each other in April this year during the Bartók Spring International Art Week. There will be no shortage of novelties, surprises, presentations and premieres at the Bartók Spring, and for the first time this year, in addition to Budapest, there will be unmissable programs in some other bigger Hungarian cities like Debrecen, Győr and Miskolc.

Hope you are ready to travel and take our Free Budapest Walking Tours to make the best out of your stay in the Hungarian capital! See you soon! 🙂
