The outer part of the viii district was considered as a no-go area, deemed the gypsy ghetto, the district is often still considered one of the most undesirable, run-down, poor, and depressing parts of the city.
Despite this, the area has inspired urban rappers from Animal Cannables, Arnold to Mr.Joint & Ferke. The district has inspired movies from Pál utca fiúk (Paul Street Boys), Nyolcker (The Eight District), and A Good Day to Die Hard.
The tour is very suitable for those interested in migration, and urban and architectural history. It enables participants the chance to explore the issues surrounding the district and its unique culture and vibrant history. Józsefváros is a heterogeneous and dynamically changing area and an ideal site to examine the effects of urban diversity.
On this tour you will explore...
-Keleti train station.
-The cemetery.
-Orczy Ter Cross
-The gypsy ghetto.
-Discover the fate of the house of fates museum.
-Chinese market and former Ganz factory.

I enjoyed this tour so much! Victoria took me to several fascinating places I would most certainly have missed, as I am sure most tourists do. If you are willing to visit those areas away from the typical sights, book this tour. You will not regret it.

The guide was brilliant! She gave us so much information that would have taken us weeks to google, even then we would not have given the full spectrum that we were served. So interesting to hear about the hospital system and Hungarian culture overall. We highly recommend this tour!

Great, informative and fun tour of 8th district. Viktoria was a great guide and showed us other side of budapest that other walking tours don’t cover. If you are tired of looking at danube and parlament do this tour.

If you think you have seen everything Budapest has to offer but still crave some more, definitely check this tour out. As described, you visit one of the least visited parts of town which nevertheless has some interesting stuff to offer.
The guides are very knowledgeable and overall the experience is quite enjoyable.
