3 days in Budapest Itinerary

You might consider the city of Budapest, divided by the Danube River into two distinctive cities--Buda and Pest--to be essentially one large World Heritage Site.

Budapest is known for sightseeing, historic sites, spas, museums, and nightlife. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: get a sense of history and politics at Residence Parliament, take in the views from Chain Bridge (Szechenyi lanchid), boost your wellbeing at a local thermal spa, and admire the landmark architecture of Matthias Church.
