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.

Archaeological Park and Aeropark Budapest will appeal to museum buffs. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church. Venture out of the city with trips to Beach (in Tiszakecske), Nadasdy - Kastely​ (in Nadasdladany) and Wesselenyi Beach Balatonalmadi (in Balatonalmadi). And it doesn't end there: take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), see the interesting displays at Police Museum, appreciate the history behind Shoes on the Danube Bank, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Dohány Street Synagogue.
