Marton Kovacs is a fifth-generation Budapester with a PhD in Hungarian History from Central European University. His family has called this city home since the 1800s, giving him an unparalleled personal connection to its stories — from the grand thermal baths built by the Ottomans to the ruin bars that define modern Budapest.

On Wowzitude, Marton's virtual tours have brought the Danube's beauty into living rooms around the world, revealing the hidden courtyards, the Art Nouveau masterpieces, and the layers of history that make Budapest one of Europe's most fascinating capitals.

"Budapest is a city of layers — Roman, Ottoman, Habsburg, Soviet, and now vibrantly modern. Every corner has a story, and I know them all." — Marton
