What to see in Budapest

Budapest is an amazing city on the banks of the Danube, where two historical halves of the country meet: Buda and Pest. Medieval fortresses, imperial architecture and modern life intertwine here, and thermal baths and cozy streets create a unique atmosphere. The city beckons with its contrasts, street music, the aroma of coffee and the feeling of an endless open space, so you will get to know what to see in the first hours of your walk.

Manufactures and facilities

Budapest’s man-made landmarks are astounding in their diversity and history, from the Naked Boy and the Little Princess sculpture to the Millennium Monuments and Heroes’ Square memorials. The list includes Vaidahunyad Castle with the Yak Chapel, the Sandor Palace and the Presidential Palace, while the Central Market and the Watsi pedestrian street reflect the vibrant city life. On the waterfront and in the center you can find a monument to Ronald Reagan, a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and many statues and fountains that make a walk around the city rich and beautiful.

Natural attractions and places

The natural corners of the city and its environs offer freshness and peace: Margit Island serves as a green oasis in the middle of the Danube, Elizabeth Park and Varosliget invites you to leisurely walks under the tree crowns, and Gellert Hill keeps a cave church and picturesque views. Lovers of speleology will be interested in the Palveldi cave, and in the vicinity you can see Mount Tokai and the city of Tata with its castle, where it is easy to go on a day trip. Embankments, small parks and fountains create a natural balance in the dense urban fabric.
