2 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.

On the 16th (Mon), contemplate the long history of Fisherman's Bastion, admire the landmark architecture of Matthias Church, then snap pictures at Szechenyi Lanchid, then take in the spiritual surroundings of St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), and finally get a sense of history and politics at Hungarian Parliament Building. Keep things going the next day: steep yourself in history at Dohány Street Synagogue, then don't miss a visit to Heroes' Square, then see the interesting displays at House of Terror Museum, and finally contemplate the long history of Liberty Statue.
