Explore the Buda Castle
Perched atop Castle Hill on the Buda side of the city, Buda Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a historical treasure. The Duke of Slavonia constructed the building in the 13th century. However, the castle complex has undergone various renovations and reconstructions over the centuries.
Today, you can explore the Royal Palace, which houses the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. Don't forget to stroll through the charming Castle District, with its cobbled streets, medieval architecture, and Fisherman's Bastion!
Unwind in the baths
You can't say you visited the City of Spas without relaxing in its therapeutic waters. Even 2000 years ago, the Romans acknowledged the area as one of the best spa towns in their empire.
Széchenyi Thermal Bath is the most popular with the locals. In the summer, you can indulge in unique pool parties during the day and at night! But if you want a more relaxing experience, consider visiting alternative locations such as Rudas, Lukacks, or even Dandar thermal baths.
Get lost in the Jewish District
From palinka parties to cozy restaurants, there's something for everyone to experience in the Jewish district. However, one thing you cannot afford to miss is the pub ruins, a nightlife symbol of Budapest. These quirky settings were once abandoned buildings where locals would come to party. But they blossomed into one of the city's highlights!
If you want to admire the rustic atmosphere and interesting sights here, it's best to come during the day. The Hungarian Jewish Museum and Dohány Street Synagogue give a fascinating insight into the area's traffic history.
Venture to the Romai Part
Romai Part is one of the few areas of Budapest not overrun by tourists. Around 6 miles north of downtown, this slice of heaven is nestled along the banks of the Danube, home to leafy walkways, quaint shores, and an abundance of eateries.
You could spend the entire day here riding a bike or recharging on the beach. The only downside to this area is deciding where to eat in the plethora of restaurants, all luring you with mouth-watering aromas!
