About our Photo Tours
Adventures thru the Lens Photo Tours are Urban Adventures. The goal is for travelers to:
• Discover and experience a city through the eyes of a local photographer.
• Encourage the observation of new viewpoints and interesting details which might easily be overlooked.
• To improve photography technique.
• To have a more interesting experience and involvement when visiting a city.
• Have fun
Our Photographer has in-depth local knowledge, a passion for their city and for the art of photography. Photographers are carefully selected for their breadth of style and experience in either travel or photo-documentary/reportage.
So bring your camera and be prepared to walk, shoot and click.

We start our walk from the side of the Danube. From here you have a great view of the Parliament. If you walk down to the river bank, you can see many seagulls, and the ships cruising up-and-down the river. From here, we ascend the castle hill through the tight streets and stonesteps, all the way to the walls of the castle. Almost all of the buildings are protected monuments, which look just like they did many hundred years ago. You will see among others the residence of the President of the Republic of Hungary (Sándor Palota), the National Gallery, the Sikló, and the panoramic view the hill has to offer in all directions. After leaving the castle hill, we will make our way down to the Tabán, and from there up to the Citadel, located on Gellért-hill. In the hillside you will have a great view on the bridges crossing the Danube. At the Citadel, you can photograph the Statue of Liberty, and the city from a much higher perspective.
