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 spas. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: ponder the world of politics at Hungarian Parliament Building, take in the spiritual surroundings of St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), contemplate the long history of Shoes on the Danube Bank, and admire the landmark architecture of Matthias Church.

Expect a daytime high around 5°C in December, and nighttime lows around -1°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 12th (Wed) early enough to travel back home.
