What to do on your Budapest Vacation
Day trips:
Just a few of the day trips we suggest from Budapest: the lovely Danube Bend where the artist town of Szentendre and the medieval fortress of Visegrad entice curious travelers. East of Budapest lies the Great Hungarian Plain, a vast grassland famous for its horses and legendary puszta outlaws.
Sightseeing:
In Budapest itself, you’ll want to explore the ancient castle, take in the exotic sights, sounds, and smells of the Central Market, admire the collections of Budapest’s many museums, and take in a concert or opera in one of the city’s renowned musical venues. Of course, ...
Off-the-beaten-track treasures that can’t be beat:
When you need to get off the beaten track, try a relaxing walk on the wooded Margaret Island, a refreshing day at one of the city’s historic spas, a wine tasting session at the House of Hungarian Wines, or even a walk through one of the fascinating caves in the Buda Hills.
