Budapest guide
Budapest: the thermal baths and the Danube at night
Széchenyi and Gellért baths, Parliament lit up from the river and the views from Buda Castle.
Budapest's thermal baths are its most cited experience, above all the neo-baroque Széchenyi Baths, with outdoor pools that steam even in winter, and the art nouveau Gellért Baths. An evening cruise on the Danube, past the illuminated Parliament, is the other classic.
On the Buda side, the Castle District, the Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church give the best views, while Pest has the Opera, St. Stephen's Basilica and the ruin bars of the Jewish Quarter. The banks of the Danube are a UNESCO site, and spring and autumn are lovely.
Buda Castle and the Fisherman's Bastion
The Castle District of Buda, part of a UNESCO site, is one of Budapest's most cited areas: the Fisherman's Bastion, with its neo-Romanesque towers, gives the best view of the Parliament across the Danube, and Matthias Church has a roof of colourful Zsolnay tiles.
Buda Castle holds the Hungarian National Gallery, and the funicular from the Chain Bridge climbs the hill. Early morning is the quietest time at the Bastion, and sunset gives the classic light on the river.
The Parliament and the Opera
The Hungarian Parliament, a neo-Gothic palace on the bank of the Danube completed in 1904, is one of the largest parliament buildings in the world and among Budapest's most cited sights. Guided tours show its grand staircase and the Holy Crown of Hungary, and tickets should be booked in advance.
The Hungarian State Opera, on Andrássy Avenue, reopened in 2022 after a full restoration and offers tours and performances in one of Europe's most beautiful auditoriums. St. Stephen's Basilica, with its dome terrace, is nearby.
