What to do in Budapest

Discover the allure of Budapest, a surprising city break destination with a range of top attractions. From the Hungarian Parliament, an architectural masterpiece, to the historical treasures and the panoramic view of Castle Hill, it’s a showstopper. Afterwards, relax in the city’s famous thermal baths. A boat trip on the Danube, which separates Buda and Pest, is also a must. The versatility of the city, its history and culture and, of course, its gastronomy are all worth exploring.

Top six things to do in Budapest

1. Visit the Hungarian Parliament Building

The Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest is an architectural work of art that every visitor must see. With its Gothic Revival design and impressive size, it is an iconic symbol of Hungary’s rich history and political importance. On a tour, you can explore the ornate rooms, admire intricate details and see the Hungarian Crown Jewels.

2. Pamper yourself in the thermal baths

Budapest’s thermal baths are an oasis of rejuvenation and relaxation. Among the best options, the Gellért and Széchenyi baths stand out for their historic charm and therapeutic waters. The elegant Art Nouveau design of the Gellért Baths creates a pampering ambiance, while Széchenyi’s large outdoor pools mesmerise with their thermal bliss. A visit to these baths completes your trip to Budapest and offers a wonderful mix of culture and wellness.

3. Explore Castle Hill

The historic heart of Buda is located atop Castle Hill and includes the imposing Buda Castle. This citadel tells the tales of royal reigns and tumultuous eras. Today, the castle houses the Hungarian National Gallery, with an extensive collection of Hungarian art, from medieval to contemporary. Exploring this hilltop not only offers breathtaking panoramas over Budapest, but also gives you an insight into Hungary’s rich cultural heritage.

4. The Danube and the Chain Bridge

A river cruise on the Danube is an unmissable activity when in Budapest. While relaxing on the boat, take in the city’s beautiful skyline and landmarks, including the Hungarian Parliament and Castle Hill. For yet another perspective of the city, stroll across the historic Chain Bridge, which connects Buda and Pest. It is the perfect place for snapping some photos of this graceful city.

5. Stroll through the City Park

The City Park – Városliget in Hungarian – in Budapest should be on your list. Admire the lake, where you can enjoy boating in the warmer months and ice skating in the winter. Plus, discover a range of attractions, including the Budapest Zoo and Vajdahunyad Palace, which showcases an eclectic mix of architectural styles. With its greenery and cultural monuments, the park offers a wonderful escape from the busy city.

6. Discover the Jewish Quarter and Synagogue

Budapest’s fascinating Jewish Quarter offers an interesting glimpse into the past. An attraction that you should see is the Dohány Street Synagogue. It’s the second-largest in the world, and its Moorish revival architecture is spellbinding. Afterwards, wander the charming streets filled with street art and boutiques. When the evening set in, you can sample the vintage atmosphere of the ruin bars in abandoned buildings.
