Budapest Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
The Hungarian capital, Budapest, is situated on the banks of the Danube in Central Europe. It’s the political, economic and cultural heart of the nation, and one of the most beautiful and livable cities on the continent.
For a sweeping overview of the city head to the Buda side of the Danube and take in the views from the 19th century ramparts on Gellért Hill. Just upriver is Budapest’s oldest area, The Castle District, home to Buda Castle, Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion.
Once you’ve explored the heights of Castle Hill, cross the Széchenyi Chain Bridge to the Pest side of the city and follow the riverbank upstream to Hungary’s Parliament Building. Nearby, pay your respects at the Shoes on the Danube Memorial, a sobering tribute to the thousands who were executed here during The Second World War.
After admiring the magnificent dome of St. Stephen’s Basilica, allow yourself to be swept up Andrassy Avenue. This world heritage listed boulevard opens out onto Heroes’ Square and City Park. The park is home to the Széchenyi Thermal Baths, just one of the city’s many lavish bathhouses. For many in Budapest, “taking the waters” is a weekly ritual.
Whether it’s the sparkling Danube or the thermal springs, there’s something truly rejuvenating in the water here. So when you’re ready to experience moments of refection, inspiration, and sublime beauty, come to Budapest, you’re sure to come away rejuvenated too.

Budapest is noted for its architecture, including numerous art nouveau buildings lining the Danube and boulevards, old fashioned cafes and elegant bath houses.
Here we will tour the city and cover the top places to photograph.
1. Keleti Rail Way 0:35
A vintage and eclectic railway.
2. Heroe's Square 0:58
The largest square in Budapest.
3. Széchényi Baths - 1:13

Budapest is home to the second largest synagogue in the world And to the largest synagogue in Europe. The Dohány Street Synagogue can accommodate 3,000 worshipers. The synagogue was built between 1854 and 1859 in Neo-Moorish style.

The funicular runs up to Buda's Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from the Roman times onward. Buda Castle was first completed in 1265 and was the palace complex of the Hungarian kings. Most visitors enter Buda Castle from Siklo funicular, but we walked to the top to get the panoramic views.
6. St Matthias Cathedral - 2:25
Trinity Square is home to the 13th Century St. Matthias Cathedral and Fishermen's Bastion, which offer panoramic views of the city. The Matthias Church and the Fishermen's bastion are the most beloved sights in Budapest.
7. Fishermen's Bastion 2:44
On the top of the old fortress walls, the Fishermen’s bastion was constructed between 1895-1902. It is named after the fishermen’s guild because according to customs in the middle ages this guild was in charge of defending this part of the castle wall. As a matter of fact it has never had a defending function. Done in neo-gothic style, the seven towers symbolize the seven chieftains, who conquered the land for the Hungarians. The Fishermen’s bastion greatly contributes to the cityscape and offers a breathtaking panorama on the Pest side.
