General presentation

Budapest

A spectacular Danubian capital between Buda hills, thermal baths, Parliament, historic cafes and large bridges.

To understand what Budapest is, look at Buda Castle, Hungarian Parliament and Bains Szechenyi. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

See all

For a stay of 3 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: very frequented in fine days and baths to be reserved according to period. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Remarkable location

Aquincum

4.5 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Aquincum reveals the Roman past of Budapest through open streets, thermal baths, houses and fragments of open-air mosaics. The site speaks mainly by its ground plan and its low remains: it interests travelers who like to imagine an ancient city from concrete traces, far from the monumental center.

Heritage

Parlement hongrois

4.8 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

The Parlement hongrois gives to Budapest Its most monumental landmark on the Danube, with neo-Gothic facade, domes and perspective from Buda. It works very well with a walk on the docks to understand the city by the river.

Historical district

Château de Buda

4.7 / 5· Hidengo3-5 a.m.

The Buda Castle brings together palaces, alleys, museums and terraces above the Danube. The area allows to connect royal history, views of Pest and quieter walk than the big boulevards.

Thermalism

Bains Széchenyi

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

The Szechenyi baths embody the thermal culture of Budapest with outdoor pools, yellow architecture and very social atmosphere. The visit is as much for the place as for the break in the urban rhythm.
