The city centre of Székesfehérvár has preserved its medieval street layout to this day, adorned with Baroque, Rococo, and Zopf-style buildings. Walking through the charming streets of the historic centre, you can discover romantic inner courtyards and stumble upon charming corner balconies. One of the most beautiful examples decorates the Baroque Hiemer House, which we will also view from the inside during the walk.
Recommended for: those who want to discover the wonders of architecture in addition to historical legends.
