Great architecture, river Danube, miraculous, especially at night time.

Just the same things as in every big city
In a nutshell
It's a good mixture of East and West, North and South of Europe
329 Reviews The Buda Castle in Budapest I. one part of town known as the Castle district. Since 1987, the UNESCO World Heritage List under the name Castle Hill is included. With a number of medieval monuments, and 17-18. century houses and public buildings is located. The Buda Castle district has three main...
Fisherman Bastion (Halaszbastya)
185 Reviews The view of Pest that we have from the Bastion is the most beautiful you can imagine. The Parlament along the Danube, the Danube itself and all the buildings giving shape to that big city was an unforgetable scene, specially at night.
195 Reviews The Hungarian Parliament is gothic grandeur in it's extreme. It's clearly built to impress and I would have guessed it to be larger than the Houses of parliament in London - but the guide said it isn't. Apparently it is Europe's 3rd largest parliament after Bucharest and London. The Parliament was...
Szechenyi Bath (Szechenyi furdo)
63 Reviews The Szechenyi Baths complex should definitely be on your programme in Budapest, ideally not at a weekend when the place tends to get too crowded. They are open every day. They are easy to find, having their own metro stop on the yellow line. When you emerge into the daylight just look for the large...
St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika)
157 Reviews Clearly a visit to Szent István Bazilika (St Stephen's Basilica) is going to be on most people's sight-seeing list when they visit Budapest and I wouldn't try to disuade anyone from going as it is very pretty. There is rather a lot of reflective surfaces inside and it's actually very dark so your...
219 Reviews The Elizabeth Bridge Budapest's most famous bridge over the Danube, which is the fifth district connected to the first circumference. It was built between 1898 and 1903. In the meantime, victims of attacks in Geneva was named after Queen Elizabeth.
144 Reviews At the end of the long and leafy Andrassy Utca lies the suitably grand Heroes' Square. Here the city commemorates the leaders of the seven tribes who founded Budapest with seven statues of each. The square was constructed to celebrate the city's 1000th anniversary in 1896. More recently it has been...
146 Reviews It doesn't sound fascinating does it - the Museum of Ethnography? You'd be suprised though. It's actually quite an interesting place showcasing traditional ways of living in the Hungarian part of the old Austro-Hungarian empire with good explanations in English and some interesting displays which...
Gellert Hill (Gellert-hegy) - Citadella
111 Reviews Gellert Hill can be seen from all over the city, and offers the best views in the city, and easily some views you'll see anywhere in the world. Although you get great views through the trees and from various landmarks dotted around the park on your walk up, the views from the citadella on top are...
124 Reviews This monument as short walk from the Parliament building shows the reform communist Prime Minister of the 1956 uprising against Soviet domination, Imre Nagy. He stands on a footbridge facing the Parliament complete with his hat and umbrella, looking like a very ordinary and human figure.
36 Reviews You have to go to one of the Turkish or thermal baths. There are many thermal baths in Budapest and there are even more outside of Budapest. The best ones are: Kiraly Furdo Rudas Furdo Gellert Furdo Szechenyi Furdo Lukacs Furdo Palatinusz Komjadi uszoda Order a body massage and pedicure for your...
Mathias Church (Mátyás-templom)
123 Reviews The most important and the most cherished church in Budapest is the Matthias Church on Szentharomsag ter. A church has stood on this site ever since the beginning of 13th century, and it has been rebuilt several times. Szentharomsag ter (square) itself was named after the Holy Trinity Column tha...
Market Hall (Grand Market Hall - Nagyvasarcsarnok)
53 Reviews The Great Market Hall in Budapest is the largest indoor market in the city and an architectural monument in itself. The market is closed on Sundays but other days it opens early (sometimes as early as 6:00 am, and closes fairly early as well- get there before 4:00 pm to be safe). The main ground...
6 Reviews and 1611 Opinions Was booked in here as part of Insight tours, would recommend to the non-budget traveller
11 Reviews and 318 Opinions Whereas it is a fancy-shmency hotel priced through the roof, the Four Seasons Gresham Palace is one...
73 Reviews This restaurant is recommended in several travel websites and books, and that is why we chose it. It is centrally located, in a lane off Vaci utca. After entering you go down to the basement level, and the main part of the restaurant is located in a long cavernous space with an arched ceiling....
52 Reviews The quality of Hungarian ice-cream is very good, but the quality of Gerbeaud ice-cream is superb and the variaty of the offer is just spectacular - see the picture. There are some other VTers on the picture who could confirm my statment. Do not miss it when visiting Budapest, regardless is it winter...
73 Reviews It was open in 1922. Supported the construction of the cinema's first loans of the banking system, and all along was interested in directing, demonstrating the potential for this business. One of the largest cinema, a separate building that serves as a cinema since its founding. Almost all major...
50 Reviews I was in the Szimpla Kert, and it was really fantastic :) beautiful girls and nice people and many alcohol :D I tried a famous hungarian spirit, the palinka, is made by fruit and very very strong. the place is designed by old furniture and a Trabant car. I found this place in the old jewish quarter....
18 Reviews This was a purely impulse find. It had been raining torrentially all evening and so I hadn't strayed too far from my hotel. Having been out for a meal and cruised a few bars I returned to the hotel about 11.30 pm to freshen up with the intention of finding one of the late night venues recommended by...
87 Reviews This street is located in city Center. It's maybe not the most glorious or the beautiful in Budapest, but for me its a very special street because it was the final stop of my bus from the hotel. Most of my travels in the city started in this street. The street is full of shops, restaurants and even...
66 Reviews As a big fan of the baroque architecture for me surely this is the most impressive church internal in Budapest. Here is a video of the internals which I made at the same time when I shot these photos To be noticed the big chrystal chandeliers wich hang on very long chains. Sometimes you can have...
