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: ponder the world of politics at Hungarian Parliament Building, take in the exciting artwork at Hungarian National Gallery (Magyar Nemzeti Galeria), take in the spiritual surroundings of St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), and steep yourself in history at Matthias Church.

For more things to do, photos, other places to visit, and other tourist information, you can read our Budapest online itinerary planner.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 32°C, and evening lows to 18°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 17th (Sat) early enough to travel back home.
