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 historic sites, sightseeing, and nightlife. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: contemplate the long history of Fisherman's Bastion, admire the landmark architecture of Hungarian Parliament Building, pause for some photo ops at Shoes on the Danube Bank, and snap pictures at Szechenyi Lanchid.

For reviews, photos, more things to do, and tourist information, you can read our Budapest travel route builder.

In December, daily temperatures in Budapest can reach 5°C, while at night they dip to -1°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 27th (Tue) to allow enough time to travel back home.
