Budapest City Tour (Half-Day)
This sightseeing tour includes all the main attractions! Start by passing by the largest building, “the Parliament,” then cross the Danube on the Margaret Bridge (Margaret Island) and drive to the royal castle on the Buda side, where we visit the Fishermen’s Bastion and the Matthias Church. We will explore the historic Castle District with its century’s old roads and buildings, then journey to the Gellért Hill for a breathtaking view of the city before riding back to the Pest side.
After the photo stop at the citadel we cross the Elisabeth bridge and drive through the city park towards heroes’ square, passing by the Opera and St. Stephen’s Basilica. You will have some free time to take photos, explore, or take an optional tour of the Parliament Building!
Day 3. Budapest
Recharge with breakfast, then strap on your walking shoes and head to Castle Hill. This must-see World Heritage Site is packed with history and medieval beauty. Walk the cobblestone streets and pass Buda Castle, Matthias Church, and other stunning structures. Another fun idea is to see this district by funicular! A hillside cable railway runs from the banks of the Danube up into the castle district. The ride is quick, but the views will last a lifetime! In Castle Hill, be sure to check out the Fisherman's Bastion (or Halaszbastya) and Matthias Church.
They don't call Budapest the "City of Spas" for nothing. How about a soak in a thermal bath? It doesn't get much more "quintessential Budapest" than that!
Near the baths, you'll come across Heroes' Square (Hosok tere), the largest public square in the city! There, snap a photo of the iconic Millennium Monument.
Head to the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building, then gawk at the spectacular Hungarian State Opera House.
While in Budapest, be sure to try paprikas, stuffed cabbage, sausages, and other authentic Hungarian favorites!
