Budapest is truly a city of a thousand faces. It's not worth a quick weekend trip, because while it's hard to take in all the sights and experiences it has to offer in just a few days, it covers a large area and its diversity of topography, the Buda hills, the banks of the Danube, Margaret Island and the bustling downtown of Pest are all worth experiencing in depth.
Heroes' Square
The end of Andrássy út and the gateway to Városliget: an urban masterpiece from any angle. Approaching from the avenue, you can see its 36-metre-high column with the Archangel Gabriel at the top.
Chain Bridge
Before it was built, the river could only be crossed by temporary boat bridge, boat or ice.
Andrassy Avenue
For a long time, there were only insignificant houses and small gardens here, but in the second half of the 19th century, Prime Minister Count Gyula Andrássy decided to build a new avenue.
St. Stephen's Basilica
A majestic sight from wherever you arrive. Approaching from the Danube bank, it becomes more and more imposing every metre: huge, yet not dominating its surroundings.
Gellért Hill and Citadel
Gellért Hill is a popular hiking destination in the capital.
The castle and its surroundings
Once inhabited by Celts and Romans, the seat of Hungarian royalty was moved from Esztergom to the strategically well-defended Buda Castle Hill by Béla IV after the Tartar invasion of 1242. The castle and its immediate surroundings developed rapidly, reaching its heyday during the reign of King Matthias Hunyadi, when Buda was recognised throughout Europe as a court of Renaissance art and science, famous far and wide.
Matthias Church
One of the most famous symbols of the city.
Margaret Island
The island is one of Budapest's most important and beautiful recreational sites. Today it is named after Princess Margaret of the House of Árpád, daughter of King Béla IV, who occupies a special place in Hungarian history for her life and miracles. Until 1901, the island was accessible only by boat or boat, until the construction of the Margaret Bridge wing leading to the island.
The Buda Castle Slide
The BKV Zrt. offers the Margit and Gellért trams of the Buda Sikló, which take passengers from Clark Ádám Square to Buda Castle and back in a few minutes. The Buda Castle Slide has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
Hungarian National Museum
Hungary's first museum was founded by Count Ferenc Széchényi, who donated his private collection to the country in 1802. The collection of more than 15,000 items was moved to its permanent home in 1847, in the museum's neoclassical building, which was decorated and decorated by the best artists of the time.
Baths of Budapest
No other capital in the world has as many thermal baths as Budapest. Even the Romans...
