5 days in Budapest Itinerary

You might consider the city of Budapest, divided by the Danube River into two distinctive cities--Buda and Pest--to be essentially one large World Heritage Site.

Take a break from the city and head to Valley of the Beautiful Women and Palatinus Strandfürdő. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church. Change things up with these side-trips from Budapest: Eger (Eger Castle & Minorita Templom). And it doesn't end there: boost your wellbeing at a local thermal spa, contemplate the waterfront views at Danube River, browse the exhibits of Hungarian National Museum, and get a sense of history and politics at Hungarian Parliament Building.

To find other places to visit, ratings, photos, and other tourist information, refer to the Budapest trip planner.
