the tourists. Tourism has risen and the proportion of foreigners living
in Budapest is day by day increasingly more and more.

Budapest is beautiful, plenty of history, safe, tons of things to do, tasty food, good beer, and budget-friendly! We’ve put together the best
things to do in Budapest to put on our Budapest itinerary.


1. Walk Across the Chain Bridge

The Chain bridge is easily Budapest’s most famous bridge that connects Buda
and Pest. The Chain Bridge was built in 1849 with its official name  István Széchenyi

If you’re sightseeing in Budapest, start your morning on one side and walk across the Chain Bridge to the other side. We highly suggest
seeing the Chain Bridge at night. It makes for some great night photos.



2. Explore the Buda Castle

The Buda Castle is at the top of Castle Hill, and the complex is home to the Buda Castle (formerly Royal
Palace), National Gallery, and the Budapest History Museum.  The Castle
was home to the Hungarian kings was completed back in 1265. The Buda
Castle was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987.

The grounds are open 24 hours a day but Buda Castle hours are the same as the museum Tuesday- Sunday 10 am-6 pm. There are several
festivals at the Buda Castle throughout the year: beer festival, wine
festival, chocolate festival, palinka festival, etc.




Fun fact: Budapest is actually two cities, Buda and Pest which are divided by the Danube River. The two cities are connected
by several bridges, the most famous being the Chain Bridge, and each
side of Budapest has several tourist attractions, and each is very
different.We suggest spending at least 3 days in Budapest. There are a ton of things to do in Budapest, but as an added bonus Budapest is
super affordable.

3. Cruise the Danube River

It wouldn’t be Budapest without the Danube River. There are tons of river cruises in Budapest from lunch/dinner cruises, half-day cruises, or
even a Danube River cruise to/from Germany.





4. Fisherman’s Bastion Viewpoint


One of the best views of Budapest is from the lookout at Fisherman’s Bastion. Originally the towers were
lookout towers, but now it’s the best lookout in Budapest.
There are seven towers which are free to enter, some of the upper towers have a small fee during peak season. When you’re
visiting Matthias church walk around the balcony to reach the
Fisherman’s Bastion.



5- Sip Some Sour Cherry Pálinka (liquor)

Don’t leave Budapest without trying a local favorite Pálinka, which is a fruit liquor made with different fruits similar to brandy. This
firewater has a lot of fruit flavor come through as you throw them
back. Pálinka is commonly drunk before or after a meal and is the go-to
spot at the Budapest ruin pubs.






My group of friends and I are delighted with Budapest, this is a wonderful city, we really want to stay here a long time :)
