Best Things to Do in Budapest

The city has Celtic origins and has been under the Roman domain with the name of Aquincum. The settlements on the west bank of the river became one of the centers of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century.

The city was the focal point of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, the Battle of Budapest in 1945, and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

Today Budapest is known as the capital of thermal baths. It has a total of nine medicinal baths today (and 123 hot springs). Budapest is also Hungary’s commercial, financial, and educational center with a rich cultural life. The center of the city is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

1) Széchenyi Thermal Baths

This is the largest “medicinal” bath center in Europe. The waters are rich in sulfates, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, and fluoride, which are believed to help patients with degenerative joint illnesses and other medical issues.

2) Hungarian National Museum

You can find pieces from the fields of archaeology, war, arts and crafts, and religion in the museum’s displayed collections. While you are there you can also visit the 3.132-hectare garden.

3) Hungarian State Opera House

The opera has a magnificent hall with 1,200 seats and perfect musical acoustics. The auditorium is horseshoe-shaped and three-story. You can also visit the Opera Café where you can have lunch, dinner, a mid-afternoon pastry, or a glass of champagne.

4) Hungarian Parliament

You can take a 45-minute guided tour of Hungary’s Parliament. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 27 gates, 29 staircases, and 691 rooms. The Holy Crown of Hungary has been displayed in the central hall since 2000.

5) Central Market Hall

It is the oldest and largest (over three floors) indoor market in the city of Hungary. You can find a range of different shops, stalls, and eateries. Located in Fovam Square in a gorgeous building that was constructed in 1897.

6) Citadella

Perched atop Gellert Hill, the Citadella offers commanding views out over Budapest and the Danube River below. It was built in 1851 by the Hapsburgs, and the solid-looking fort was later commandeered by the Nazis and then Communists.

7) Buda Castle

Fascinating to explore, the large Buda Castle and palace complex was once the home of Hungarian kings and queens of years gone by. Built-in 1265 at one end of Castle Hill, the regal Baroque palace is now home to the Budapest History Museum and the Hungarian National Gallery, both of which are well worth visiting.

8) Shoes on the Danube Bank

Scattered about the riverbank just a short distance away from the Hungarian Parliament Building, the bronze shoes that commemorate the tragic death of the Jews make for a moving sight.
