Budapest itineraries

Buda and Pest in One Day

Riverside by Parliament in the morning, Castle Hill at midday, Széchenyi Baths in the afternoon, a cruise after dark. The order most first-timers end up following, done in a single day.

Jewish Quarter Overnight

Sleep in District VII, the Jewish Quarter: day one is Andrássy út, an evening soak and ruin bars; day two is the Buda hills and the Rudas rooftop pool. Built for people who like late nights.

Three Days by the Basilica

Base yourself opposite St Stephen's Basilica in District V. Day one is the Pest riverside and Széchenyi, day two the Buda hills through to sunset on Gellért Hill, day three the market and the airport. Walking days and easy days alternate, so it works with parents too.
