No waiting in line at the concierge desk or trying to ask your waitress at breakfast directions to the shopping district.

Plus, your Local Host will share local Budapest insights and share suggestions for getting off the beaten path, leaving you more time to create lasting vacation memories that are yours alone.
Meet a Local Host
Hello, my name is Nora. I was born and raised in Budapest. After living in Vienna and Edinburgh, I returned to my homeland. I have a degree in Tourism Management, but I discovered that rather than working in the office administration side of tourism, I much prefer working directly with people. I have never regretted my decision. As a Local Host, there is nothing more rewarding than contributing to Monograms’ guests and knowing they are taking home happy memories of their stay in Budapest.
Belle Époque
Ask your Local Host for suggestions of walking routes around town to see the historic center and the Belle Époque buildings—many already restored to their former splendor.
Museums
Budapest has a wealth of fascinating museums. Ask your Local Host for information to suit your interests.
The Great Synagogue
Budapest has the world’s second-largest synagogue. Visit the adjacent museum with its moving memorial to the Hungarian Holocaust.
