Budapest
HungaryBudapest is a city of easy contrasts: relaxing thermal baths, sweeping views over the Danube, and lively ruin bars hidden in old courtyards. It feels grand and atmospheric without being hard to enjoy, with elegant boulevards, historic neighborhoods, and plenty of spots to linger over a meal or a night out. It shines in spring and autumn, when the weather is comfortable for walking, sightseeing, and long evenings by the river.

How many days do you need in Budapest?
4 days is the right length for a first trip to Budapest. That covers Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, Parliament, a thermal bath, the Jewish Quarter's ruin bars and a Danube evening. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Szentendre or the Danube Bend.
