Turning on Andrássy Street, Budapest's most beautiful avenue we reach the city centre. The European continent's first underground railway runs under the avenue. In the banking-quarter of the City raises the cupola of the country's third biggest Catholic Church, Szent István Basilica.

In this moment, the group will experience a more "jazz related" location, the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music. Still functioning as a prestigious music academy, the principles and traditions of its founders are upheld in the supervision of the professional, aesthetic and emotional development of composers, performing artists and instructors. It also serves as the center of concert life in Budapest. They will have the possibility to have a few words with students, teachers of the Academy, this way understanding even more what Jazz music means in Budapest.

It's most significant sights are the Buda Castle Quarter belonging to UNESCO World Heritage, the block of the Baroque style Royal Palace and the civil living quarter with Mátyás Church. From the Fishermen's Bastiontherei is a breathtaking view on Pest side. On top of Mount-Gellért is the Statue of Liberty together with the building of Citadella. A marvellous view is to be seen from this spot on all the capital.

This old style, red brick building has modern furniture which creates unique surroundings. The range of selection includes six top quality house wines and around fifty different types of bottled wines from all the significant wine-growing regions of Hungary. Suited to the characteristic atmosphere of the wine-cellar, the restaurant offers for the customers a wine cuisine where emphasis is laid primarily on old Hungarian flavours, combined however with certain dishes of modern cookery as well.

After lunch, the guests have a free programme until dinner, where the location is all about jazz. The restaurant called Jazz Garden, does not only have a "summer night sky" in the main room, but every detail was made with love and dedication by the owners themselfs, who are actually musicians. Here everyone has the feeling of being in an open aired place watching the stars, while enjoying a live concert accompanied by a nice dinner.
