Start with a coffee and a pastry at Borostyán. The restaurant opens at 07:00, so it will be quiet and ready for a relaxed morning or early afternoon break. It is just a short 9-minute walk from the Villas.

Walk to the Villas. Spend 30 minutes exploring the well-maintained gardens and the twin villas from the 1890s. The late afternoon light hitting the secession-style porches and the large trees creates a perfect atmosphere for photography. The area is open to the public from the outside.

Head to the Károly Lookout Tower for the golden light moment. The 23-meter tower offers a view of the surroundings and houses an exhibition on natural scientists. The walk from the Villas takes about 16 minutes.

End the day with a drink or light meal at Borago. It is located near the Károly Lookout Tower (14-minute walk) and stays open until 22:00, allowing you to unwind after the walk.
