We realized after our recent vacation to Budapest that it has rapidly become one of our favorite European cities with a plethora of things to do. It’s impossible not to fall in love with it; the stunning architecture around the Danube makes it a romantic site and the ideal destination for a city vacation. It is also ideal for budget travelers, with numerous inexpensive things to do and an abundance of inexpensive bars, restaurants, and lovely spas.
Here is our definitive Budapest travel guide, along with our own recommendations for activities to do and places to stay when visiting the city:
Fisherman’s Bastion and St Matthias Church
Swim at one of Budapest’s hot baths.
Pay a visit to the Budapest Parliament.
Explore Central Market Hall by eating your way through it.
