Budapest Art Walk Very Popular

The Art Nouveau walk in Budapest has attracted crowds and is extremely popular these days. These are guided tours which show the tourists around the Art Nouveau architecture of Budapest; they are free of cost and are held every Saturday.
The places which are shown around are buildings made by Art Nouveau architect, Odon Lechner; this is the architect who is widely acclaimed for designing structures that blend motifs of the international styles and Hungarian art, thus creating a new design. The places that are shown to visitors are the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest (this is a must-visit for anyone visiting Budapest). Other places that are a part of the tour include Lechner's Post Savings Bank near Kossuth Square which is a Budapest landmark, the Geology Institute, with its shimmering blue Zsolnay ceramic roof tiles.
Other Budapest attractions include the Gellert Baths at Gellert Hill, and amazing buildings like the Torok Bank in Szervita Square.
This walk in Budapest was sponsored by Hungarofest-an event organizer- and was organized just for 60 odd people; even then around 150 people turned up each time.
