Good to Know
You'll need a smartphone and earphones to use the guide. Download the POPGuide app and Budapest content before your visit, though you only need internet for the initial download. After that, everything works offline. The audio guide does not include entry tickets to attractions, so you'll need to book those separately.
The app offers complete flexibility to explore at your own pace. You can pause, rewind, or skip ahead at any time, making it perfect for families, couples, or solo travellers who prefer independent exploration. Start from any location and follow your curiosity throughout the city.
For a more comprehensive Budapest experience, consider combining your self-guided audio tour with a Budapest Danube river cruise to see the city from the water, or book Széchenyi Thermal Baths tickets to experience one of the city's famous spa culture highlights mentioned in your audio guide.
