5 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.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Matthias Church and St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika). Appreciate the collections at Halaszbastya and Dohány Street Synagogue. Get out of town with these interesting Budapest side-trips: Beach (in Tiszakecske), Wesselenyi Beach Balatonalmadi (in Balatonalmadi) and Nadasdy - Kastely​ (in Nadasdladany). And it doesn't end there: pause for some photo ops at Shoes on the Danube, see the interesting displays at Aeropark Budapest, learn about winemaking at Geszler Family Winery, and take an in-depth tour of Archaeological Park.

If you are flying in from Czech Republic, the closest major airport is Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. In June, plan for daily highs up to 30°C, and evening lows to 15°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 16th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
