Budapest - 2in1 unique sightseeing tour with mini sculptures 🕵🏼🏰

What makes a sightseeing tour fun? Especially when kids are around? Conventional tour buses are okay, but I rather try to find alternative ways to explore a city. For this, I have an amazing idea. 🤩 Budapest has been conquered by mini sculptures made by Mihály Kolodko - a Ukrainian sculptor, who moved to Budapest in 2017. These mini sculptures are mostly made out of metal & after installation, he usually posts only a photo (maybe a hint) on socials, about the location of the new addition. IMAGINE a family approved sightseeing tour in Budapest, where the small child(ren) can play ’treasure hunt’ searching for these art installations, 🕵🏼 while the whole family gets a unique glimpse of Budapest’s city center. Personally, I love unique ideas & for me it would be a perfect alternative approach for a traditional sightseeing tour.

Attention! Attention!

1. Honestly, I wouldn’t want to organize a week only to hunt these mini sculptures down – considering the fact that, not all of them are based on cartoon characters (which is definitely funnier & more children-approved than figures from the Hungarian history book). That’s why you’ll get 3 half days itinerary, which can be attached together to have a full day(s), & another section of listing the remaining ones, which are a bit farther away from the city center.

2. Also be aware that unfortunately some of these sculptures gone missing.🥺 I’ll try to keep the article up-to-date but I take no guarantee if you end up not finding one.
