With streets steeped in history and a vibrancy amongst its community, Budapest has a number of popular tourist destinations, from the impressive parliament building to St. Stephen's Basilica. You should also take some time out to visit the Chain Bridge which stretches across the River Danube, joining Buda with Pest. The best time to witness it in its full glory is when it’s lit up at night. You'll discover that Buda is the green, leafy side of the city complete with its magnificent castle, while Pest is the more urbanised centre, featuring an array of hotels, museums and more.
No trip to Hungary is complete without a visit to an outdoor thermal pool, so we’d recommend you try Széchenyi Baths towards the north of the city for some authentic relaxation. Why not join the locals with a game of chess in water temperatures of 38°C?
The streets of Budapest are not only littered with jaw-dropping street art but also historical pubs. Immerse yourself in these quirky hideaways and brush up on your knowledge of local ales.
